Sceggel LI HE CLASS OF 1942 proudly presents this, the fifteenth volume of the Peddler with the intent of affording you both a source of enjoyment and a complete resume of the college year. We have designed this book to be a graphic rep¬ resentation of the life and association at Worcester Tech. May it serve in future years to perpetuate the memories of the epic period 1941-1942. 4 JO THE MEN of Tech who have left Iheir homes and associaiions ai the College lo enter the government services we dedicate with sincere gratitude this volume of the Peddler. May it serve in some small way to commemorate the sacrifices and privations that these men have undergone. Wat Tyler Cluverius, LL.D., D. Nav. Sc., D. Eng. Rear Admiral, U. S.

These men, leaders in industry, finance, religion and business, are the guiding and driving force behind our rapidly progressing Institute. We, the students, owe much to these men who have contributed valuable time and energy toward the interests of the college. Their con¬ cern in Worcester Tech has helped in making it one of the outstanding colleges that it is. 9 TT B A Jerome Willard Howe The administration of the Institute is handled by senior members of the Faculty with the competent assistance of full-time administrative officials. The President of the College, Wat Tyler Cluverius, is the administrative head of the school. He is assisted by Jerome W. Howe, Dean of Admissions and Students; and by Francis W. Roys, Dean of Engineering. The major portion of the day-to-day administration work is done by the Registrar, Miss Gertrude R. Rugg and her staff of assistants. The maintenance of the Institute property is under the supervision of Prof. A. J. Knight, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds; Prof. R. P. Kolb, Superintendent of Heat and Power; and Prof. W. W. Locke, Superintendent of Electrical Maintenance and Dormitory. During the absence of Professor Taylor, the Alumni Office has been under the direction of Prof. Paul R. Swan. Through this office, alumni are able to remain in contact with their Alma Mater. The Alumni Office also maintains a Francis Joseph Adams Gertrude Rogers Rugg Emily Maud Haynes Arthur Julius Knight 10 Off id® placement service for seniors and recent grad¬ uates. Six times a year, the Alumni Office publishes the Alumni Journal, a magazine issued for the purpose of keeping alive the old Tech Spirit among the many graduates on far- flung fields. One of the most important tasks of the Alumni Office is probably appreciated more by the alumni than by the students; that is the receiving and handling of all gifts and contributions to the school. Another important phase of the administration is the supervision of the library facilities. This is under the direction of Miss Emily M. Haynes, Librarian. She has direct charge of the main library in Alden Memorial and helps indirectly with the various departmental libraries. Other officers of the administration are Miss Martha E. Strong, Assistant Bursar; Irving A. Green, Assistant Treasurer; Miss Elizabeth Sawyer, Secretary of Admissions; Miss Virginia Allen, Secretary to the President; and Miss Esther P. Gaylord, Secretary to the Dean of Engineering.

Our narra¬ tive is written completely in the spirit of fun and we hope that it will be taken in that light. Our story opens in the small town of Lower Cupboard Junc¬ tion, nestled in the hills of eastern Kentucky. A kaleidoscope of houses, faces, cornfields, and stills whirls past our eyes as we search for he who has brought great honor to the town of L.C.J. Ah! There he is!! Behold and admire he who sits on a corn- likker drum and reads his certificate of admission to Worcester Polytech. Let us look at it more closely. To: Elmer A. Corn, L.C.J., Ky. It says, quote YOU’RE IN! LOVE AND KISSES end quote, signed Jerry. Scene 2 opens in our own Worcester, Massachusetts. Elmer A. has just alighted from the “Bluegrass Snorter,” and, wiping the cinders from his eyes, he surveys the enormity of Union Station.

What is this—kidnapping? a raid? No, as the two seizers unmask they seem to be friendly and . . . shhh, one of them is speaking: “Er, ah, urn, WELCOME TO WORCESTER TECH! ah, er ...” That was Ripper, and his companion in hospitality appears to be Leight, Elmer’s freshman advisor. The tendency of a body at rest to remain so nearly snaps the necks off the trio as their car starts off with a teriffic burst of speed. ‘‘HEY,—you at the wheel, slow down.” Oh, it’s Sam— well, never mind—what? No, of course I don’t expect you to spoil your tradition, but . . . Thirty seconds later our car slams to a stop in front of Sanford Riley Hall and our new freshman is whisked into the dorm to meet face to face with Daddy, who in turn presents him to Gordie, faculty proctor in the dorm. After a good night’s sleep, Elmer strides bright and early to his first college class—a physics lecture in Kinnicut Hall. As the lecture starts, Elmer hears announcements alpha and beta Francis Joseph Adams Professor of Electrical Engineering Donald Graham Downing Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Harold Winthrop Dows Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering 14 Harry Benjamin Feldman Assistant Professor of Chemistry Charles Metcalf Allen Professor of Hydraulic Engineering Frederic Raymond Butler Professor of Chemistry Edward Choate Brown Assistant Professor of Mathematics Harold Joseph Gay Professor of Mathematics Harold Edward Graves Professor of Chemical Engineering ' §|g§ Stanley Herbert Fillion Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering 15 concerning campus parking rules. Then comes the traditional “Gut morning, chentelmen,” and Physics A, Dutchy at the helm, is off. His second class takes him via Cosine Avenue to B 19 for math where Happy and his inseparable stick start work on trig. 10.00 a.m. finds him sleepily settled in one of Pop’s English classes and at 11.00 his schedule shows a chem lecture with Doc and Hiram in charge. During the course of the lecture he er, ah learns that er, um sodium chloride er, AH!—the bell. And thus passes into history Elmer’s first combat with the ways of the Institute. His freshman year grinds on, as does Elmer, until June rolls around and introduces to him summer shop. Days of sand pounding in the foundry—Rosie supervising ably; terror and frustration on Washburn’s second floor amid whirring saws and spinning lathes. Daisy and his unfailing eye to make (or break) his work. And as the heat of summer settles down in earnest, a last few days with Carl and his crystal struc¬ tures and welds. Finally, with a last farewell glimpse of Boynton Hill and an adieu to fellow students, Elmer leaves Worcester for summer vacation. No send-off party sees him go, but he departs wiser in the ways of an engineer by one year.

September 23 and the dawn of a new year’s learning for Elmer A. Having elected the M.E. course, his sophomore year brings him face to face with a new line of personalities among the faculty. Doc with his booming German course; the Chief, and later little Moose, for surveying—or, as the civils would have it, for civil engineering. A new English course—public speaking, criticisms by Frenchie: “. . . two minutes undertime.” And on through descript, with Jack and Stan. Physics B (B) to worry about, and the whole physics department to worry him. No Dutchy, but a host of others pitching—Sis, Sam, and newcomers Gus and Samp. Cal¬ culus rears its ugly head during E.A.’s sophomore year but Ricey, Doc, Brownie, and Wild Bill do their share to dispel its gloom. Higgie, sly and subtle, trains him in the ways of logical writing, and Scheif takes over the reins of his German instruction. Into the new M.E. building goes Elmer to tackle statics with dapper Black Mac, while his classmate Chem. Engines matches wits with Tombstone in the Quant, course. And so, on and on, in a maddening whirl, ever increasing in pace, weave the strands of his education. As Elmer goes through his junior year, real engineering train¬ ing takes the place of the leadup subjects of his previous years.

S IT ® B ¥ The disastrous hurricane of 1938 struck the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute late on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 21. When the returning students arrived to start the fall term on the following Wednesday, they discovered that the hurricane had left behind on their campus a bumper crop of bewildered innocents to be known thereafter as the Class of 1942. After having been cordially welcomed by President Earle, we were informed that we were to be subject to “control” by all three of the upper classes rather than by the sophomores alone. Our instruction in the customs and tradi¬ tions of the Institute was begun immediately and was actually in full swing long before we were formally introduced to the campus leaders in all fields of recognized activity at the annual S.C.A. reception. Following the reception, many of us were informally introduced to the murky depths of Institute Pond by the leaders of the unrecog¬ nized activities. In the course of events, it be¬ came evident that the upper classmen would never be impressed by our importance, so we commenced what has proved to be a four-year struggle to acquaint the faculty with our abilities. It was not long before the positions of servant and master were reversed, for rush week found the upper classmen catering to our every whim. The success of their humility is reflected by the fact that 114 were pledged by the fraternities on the Hill. Our inflation was short-lived, however, for in a few weeks we were required to submit written proof, in book form, and bound in blue, of our diligence along scholastic lines. The at¬ tainment of honors by 60 per cent of the class The Civil Department indicated an ability for absorption, at least temporarily. In spite of the fact that we lost the Goat’s Head competition, our activities were not en¬ tirely scholastic, for the class was well repre¬ sented on nearly every varsity athletic team, and it will be remembered that this was a banner year v “You Don’t Say’’ for Tech athletics. Led by the football and soccer teams (both were unbeaten and untied) the varsity teams established a new record of forty-four wins out of seventy-two contests. Other extra-curricular activity found us decorat¬ ing the statue of General Devens at Lincoln Square in honor of Homecoming and contribu¬ ting the “sanitation lab” to the big rally bonfire. Our first Tech Carnival and “The Bishop Mis¬ behaves” by the Masque provided an official outlet for our dramatic talent, while the climax of our social year was “The Spring Shuffle,” largest informal dance of the year, sponsored by the Class of ’42. We witnessed the beginning of the destruction of several dwellings on West Street as the first step in the million-dollar building program. Work was started on Kinnicut Hall, and Doctor Smith helpfully attempted to rearrange the top floor of the existing chemistry building by a unique sodium-plus-water experi¬ ment. Result—new windows for the laboratory. All the students shared the sorrow we felt at the passing of President Earle, who, although we had known him but a short time, had come to command the love and respect of each of us. We will do well to carry with us his often- repeated motto, “Cheer up, and get busy.” As sophomores we returned to school in the fall determined to atone for the humiliations we had suffered as freshmen. Our main objective was the Goat’s Head, and after all contests were over we had won the right to have our numerals engraved thereon. For a while it was doubtful if we would succeed in this, since the Goat’s Head disappeared mysteriously from its sacred resting place in the gymnasium, but it was re¬ turned as mysteriously as it had been removed. The first change we noted on our return was that the building we now know as Alden Memorial was beginning to take shape. Alterations in the Salisbury Laboratories and in the Power House were also under way as part of the building program. Later in the year, ground was broken for the construction of the Earle Bridge, a struc¬ ture which was designed by Professor Fillion of our own Civil Engineering Department. With this event, the duties of the Building Fund Corn- Field Day in the Mountains mittee were done, and the committee moved out of its temporary office adjoining that of “Doc” Carpenter. The second change confronting us on our re¬ turn we had all heard discussed, but not until the opening assembly did we meet Admiral Cluveri- us, our new President, who pledged himself to carry on the policies of Admiral Earle. Under the heading of changes in faculty policy, Dean Howe announced that there would no longer be a classification known as third honors, and a decided shortening in the length of the honor lists resulted. Flight training under the auspices of the C.A.A. was made available to students on their own time, and flight training proved useful when Tech students were hired as pilots for 26 “E.E.’s on Inspection Trip” huge inflated rubber monsters in the first annual Christmas parade sponsored by a local store. Dr. E. D. Wilson was made head of the com¬ bined departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and took over his new duties early in March. At about the same time, all students who had any connection with the Electrical Engineering Department mourned the death of Prof. C. D. Knight, who had proved himself to be a true gentleman and friend. ’Vember Varieties, replacing the Carnival, and the Masque production, “The Torchbearers,” provided the year’s dramatic entertainment. The Junior Prom, while successful, was, of course, overshadowed by our own Soph Hop, featuring the Yale “Collegians.” At this time the sopho¬ mores were allowed to blossom forth in all their splendor in the new college jackets which re¬ placed the class jackets of previous years. Al¬ though not quite the equal of the preceding season, the athletic year was very good. High spot was the record of eleven straight wins com¬ piled by the soccer team over a two-year period. The last big event of the year was the At Home Day demonstration, which proved to be the last of its kind due to a subsequent change in the Institute policy. We considered that the fight was now half over, and with chemistry and physics completed, the majority of us could face the future with clear consciences. Upon our return to start our third year on the Hill we were given a mild taste of dictatorship as practiced by the newly-employed campus cop, commonly known as six and seven-eighths, whose assigned duty was enforcement of new parking regulations which were a result of the building program. This erudite gentleman held papers of discharge from the Army, the Navy and the Worcester Police Force. In addition, he now holds the degree of dischargee from W.P.I. Our first real indication of the gravity of the inter¬ national situation was registration for selective service by which many of us were affected. This year also saw the start of government-sponsored night classes for men in defense industries. It was deemed impractical to establish a reserve corps of any kind, but faculty members with military experience offered to serve as instructors in the voluntary military training program. We were pleased to note that the annual catalog had undergone a complete revision which proved to be a great improvement. The Tech Council passed a rule barring freshmen athletes from varsity competition, the rule to take effect in the fall of 1941. It was further decreed that since November 11 had lost its original signifi¬ cance as Armistice Day that it should be ob¬ served hereafter as Founder’s Day in honor of the fathers of the Institute. Homecoming Day was indeed a gala occasion. Alumni were witnesses of the dedication of Alden Memorial and of the ground-breaking ceremony for the Higgins Laboratories.

Painter (Vice-president) On Wednesday, September 24, the class of ’43, now veterans in the ancient art of learning, wiped the proverbial cobwebs from their minds and discarded their carefree summer ways in prepara¬ tion for another “crack” at their chosen field. This year the ’43’s did the heavy looking on concerning the Freshman-Sophomore rivalry which was climaxed with a “dry” rope pull won by the rugged Freshmen. Bob Painter was junior chairman for the rope pull. Later in the year, Bob Painter and Ed Peter¬ son were pledged to Tau Beta Pi. The Tech football team, managed by Wallace Lindsay and John Huckins, consisted of suc h junior stars as Bob Seaton, Hank Parzick, Bud Aubertin, Phil Gow, and Bob Green as backfield men, with Bert Marsh, Bob Hanckel, Bob Mont¬ gomery, and Ed Peterson as line men. December 7 changed the entire future outlook of the whole world. The Japs attacked Pearl Harbor and declared War on the United States. The Junior Class will be seriously affected. The Interfraternity Ball helped to take our minds off the war as Hal McIntyre and his lads provided the musical setting for a glorious even- ning. “Bud” Etherington was a member of the Ball Committee. The basketball season found juniors Ed Lipovsky and Fran Santom as capable members of the Tech basketball squad. As time rolled on, the Juniors were informed that due to the war, their senior year will begin July 20 and end February 6, 1943. This is the second time in the history of the college that a graduation has been speeded up. Furthermore the honored Junior Prom was combined with the Soph Hop and the Senior Prom to give one big dance which was held on May 1. Members on the committee were: Mike Brautigam, Jack Durkee, Pete Messer, George Golding, Walt Kaskan, Bill Bennett, Dick Bonnett, and Len Hershoff. Thus stood the Junior Class as of the year 1942 looking forward to summer classes and a winter graduation. “Cooking with Gas” 53 A. Harder (Historian), J. Donahue (President), G. Vogel (Vice-president), P. Brown (Secretary-Treasurer) CLMS ©IF DD4141 Our sophomore year opened unofficially with the muddy battle with the freshmen in Institute Pond, our casualties were light except for “Red” Underhill’s foot. Then registration, official opening of the year, and we plunged into our work for the term. Freshman hazing was lenient and was noticed by more than one class on the campus. In “Cause” making up for lost time, our “violent” hazing was emphatically ordered never to recur. In the fall elections, James Donahue, George Vogel, and Philip Brown, were elected president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, respec¬ tively. In a high and dry rope-pull, our gallant team went to a crushing defeat along Boynton Street. In the paddle rush we lost prestige again, but only by a slim margin. We won track, but football and soccer added two more painful defeats to our record. In spite of it all, there weren’t better sportsmen than the men of ’44. The most heartbreaking loss of the season was “Rosie’s,” Dr. Masius not being judged the Carnival winner. Vacation was soon gone and the old grind for mid-years again—coming through with flying colors We were off to a good start by clinching basket¬ ball, and from all indications, the class was headed for a good ’42. 54 CILAiS ©I? U®4 On September 21, 1941, we, the bewildered and uninitiated class of 1945, arrived on the campus of Worcester Tech. After being introduced to college life amidst the traditional hazing of the sophomores, we very solemnly settled down to our first assignments. Life was rather exciting for us trying to outwit our rivals and we really enjoyed it. The first test of our superiority came on the day of the paddle-rush. After a close contest, we emerged victorious having gained 39 paddles. We lost the track meet which followed, but reclaimed our prestige in winning the rope pull. The sophomores were a sorry class on November 15 because on that day our football and soccer teams defeated their rivals. The Carnival was won on the same evening and so a glorious day was finished. From then on we no longer were required to wear our caps and ties. Soon after fraternity rushing and pledging took place and the majority of our class were pledged to the various fraternities on the hill. Life went on quietly until examinations when “Result” we were subjected to our first real test. We lost a few men but continued with a stronger, more experienced class. Our basketball team finished a good season only to fall down before the sophomores. We still have our eyes on the Goat’s Head and will win it yet. P. Scott (President), P. Sheridan (Historian), R.

Jackson “Green Room” As one of the most important organizations on the Hill, the Tech Council serves both the faculty and the students i n the capacity of an advisory body. The council meets regularly every two weeks to discuss and recommend policies and to act on any matter which directly concerns the faculty and the student body. This year marked the introduction of an entirely new constitution. Under the old system, each club or association which was recognized by the Council could have a representative in the group. There were also four members-at-large elected by the Council in addition to two faculty members. This resulted in a large and unwieldy group with little power. The streamlined Council will be composed of two members from each class elected by the class in addition to a president elected from the senior class by the whole student body. Including the two faculty members, this gives a working body of eleven men, wielding a large amount of power. 58 The Council now has specific power to regulate all class elections and finances, to limit the num¬ ber of activities that any man may assume, to control the cheer leaders, to conduct investiga¬ tions of the finances of any class or association, and to regulate Freshman Class hazing. In this way all student activities are brought under the control of a central powerful group. This will tend to promote a better understanding between students and faculty. Working always for the good of the college, the Council has its influence to eliminate any of the more drastic measures of hazing, and to substitute a more healthy class rivalry. In con¬ nection with the freshman-sophomore tilts, this year the Council decided to stage the rope-pull on the East Campus in view of the absence of water in Institute Pond. Also under the direction of the Council are the Fuller Lectures, which bring to Tech outstanding personalities versed in current topics of interest to Tech men. As sponsor of the annual Sports banquet, the “Don, Norm and Harris” Council promotes interest in athletic activities. At this banquet letters are awarded and captains of the various teams are elected. The connecting link between the student body and the faculty is the Tech Council. In deciding various questions the Council blends together the attitude of the faculty and the students, fostering more unified action at Tech. TOiHOT CMKTMi M§©CMf)©M) Upon entering Worcester Tech, the first organ¬ ization that the Freshman comes into contact with is the Student Christian Association. Dur¬ ing Freshman week, the nightly programs are under the sponsorship of the Association as is the “Cider and Doughnuts” Reception on Friday night. Acting as a big brother, the S.C.A. attempts to introduce the new men to the saner side of Tech life. Also during the first week, handbooks and blotters are distributed to every student. During the year the student learns that the S.C.A. performs many unpublicized duties such as maintaining the magazines in the commons room of the dormitory, purchasing new equip¬ ment for the game room, sponsoring chapel services every week, locating boarding and rooming houses for students, and other duties. Small loans to students and undergraduate 59 Back row: R. Grant, R. Wynkoop, A. Keith, H. Hope, F. Holbrook Front row: Paul R. Swan, P. Hastings, S. Williams, R. Fleming, P. Disario employment in the city are also the result of the Student Christian Association’s interest in Tech life. The membership of the S.C.A. is composed of all students who sign the pledge in their Freshman year. This makes them members for their four years at Tech. The governing body is composed of a cabinet with a representative from each fraternity and one from the non- “After-dinner Lull” fraternity men. Each member of the cabinet is in charge of a certain committee, other members helping to serve on these committees. Prof. Paul R. Swan is the executive secretary and faculty adviser of the group. In the fall of the year, it is the annual custom of the S.C.A. to sponsor the Tech Carnival. This year the affair featured skits by the Freshmen, Sophomores, and the Faculty. All the acts were written on the campus and were produced by the students and members of the Faculty. The Class of 1945 won the award, but the Class of 1944 featured a very distinctive play on life at Tech. In the spring, the Association featured a series of lectures on marriage and marriage relations by Dr. Magoon of M.I.T. These were well attended by members of the Senior and Junior classes. A complete listing of all boarding and rooming houses was carried out during the spring under the direction of Herbert Hope. This was done with a dual purpose in mind; first, of finding suitable rooms for upperclassmen and, second, of locating rooms for the incoming Freshmen. In performing these various tasks, the S.C.A. helps to promote a more friendly and cheerful spirit in the college life. 60 (p H ® © [LH ® The publication of this volume marks the end of another epic period in the History of Worces¬ ter Tech. This has been the year of international fireworks, of national disaster, of Tech advance. Completed during the year were the Higgins Laboratories, new home of the Mechanical Engi¬ neering Department and the Chemical Engineer¬ ing Laboratories. These are the final steps in the recent laboratory expansion program instituted by the late Admiral Earle. Of course, the former Mechanical Engineering Building is to be rebuilt to house the Civil Engineering Department, with resultant changes taking place in Boynton Hall. In the preparation and presentation of this Peddler, the staff feels that another advance in yearbook design has been made. Widely different from any of its predecessors, this volume contains many of the newest ideas in college annual production. The combined grouping of formal and informal pictures in the senior section is new as is the semi-narrative style in the activities group. Much credit is due Jim Pearce of the Class of 1944 for the clever cartoons. Unfortunately, Gordie, Scegg and the Gang due to the War Program with graduation on the first of May, the early press date of the book made it impossible to obtain group pictures of the spring sports. However, last year’s groups are included to preserve the memories of these events. The inclusion of a feature section blend¬ ing into the class listings is an idea that has not been used in the past few years, but is one that merits a place in this volume. Essential to the publication of any yearbook is Back row: J. Loomis, T. Landers, T. Pierson, H. Parzick, G. Fairhurst Second row: H. Marsh, E. Campbell, C. Handforth, B. Messer, H. Durick, R.

This year the staff desires to thank the following for their fine help and cooperation: first, Robert Dunton of The Davis Press and Milton Fitch of Howard-Wesson for seeing the book through from start to finish; the Bushong Studio for many fine portraits and exceptional groups; Steve Donahue of the News Bureau for help in obtaining many in¬ formal photographs; the Staff of the Alumni Office for their help in typing and class listing; Miss Rugg and her staff for much valuable information; Miss Danforth and Miss Strong for help and advice to the business staff; and finally, all members of the lower class staffs whose fine cooperation put the yearbook across on time. CM M Back in 1909, the Tech News Association, as we know it today, was founded by a group of students at the Institute. Since that time, this organization has functioned almost continually and has faithfully reported each week the social, athletic, and scholastic events of the school. Previous to this time, campus affairs were incor¬ porated as a part of the Journal, the official college alumni magazine, which is still published here at Tech. Over the thirty-two year period of its existence the Tech News has made remarkable improve¬ ments in all departments of the paper. The members of the staff have endeavored to main¬ tain the high standards set by their predecessors and this year they have more than attained their goal. Week after week, the paper has presented the leading events of student activities on the Hill in unusually fine fashion. With regard to the editorial policy, it may be said that this department has continued to present the praise and the criticism of college affairs, trying always to offer student opinion on such matters. In addition to this, there have been a series of excellent editorials touching upon those matters which are pertinent to the young engineer. Another feature column of the Tech News is the one entitled, “Letters to the Editor,” in which the students are given the opportunity to express their views on various campus functions and policies. As has been the custom in previous years, each issue of the News includes an issue of the Collegi¬ ate Digest, which is a pictorial representation of campus activities throughout the country. This feature has become increasingly popular during the past few years, the chief point of interest being snapshots of some of the prettier co-eds. 62 Few people realize the great amount of plan¬ ning, writing, and rewriting that is necessary for each copy of the paper. A brief outline of the method used in preparing the Tech News is herewith printed for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with them. The News Editor hands out assignments to all of the freshman and sophomore reporters who, in turn, dig up all the available data on their assigned subjects. They write the articles up and present them to the editorial staff on the Satur¬ day preceding the publication of the paper. The editorial staff meets on Sunday morning to read each of the submitted articles and to make all the necessary corrections. The general layout of the paper is then arranged by the managing editor under the direction of the Editor-in-Chief. The paper goes to press Sunday night and is ready for distribution on Monday night. The staff of the Tech News has taken special care this year to present to the student body interesting and accurate material. A college paper is, after all, an important organ of student life and an asset to the student body which it represents. Thus the men who are responsible “9.30—Sunday” for its publication have striven to attain a standard which would do honor to W.P.I. and its enrolled students. Proof that they have succeeded is shown by the recent second honor rating the paper received from the Associated Collegiate Press. This is about a hundred point increase over last year’s rating. Special praise was given by the A.C.P. to the sports page of the paper. Back row: E. Page, W. Tunnicliffe, H. Marsh, W. Keogh, R. Grant, E. Lipovsky, R. Dyer, H. Parzick Front row: R. Wynkoop, S.

As in past years, a capacity audience was thrilled from start to finish by a thoroughly competent and very inspired cast. The current production was a three-act play, staged in the garden room of a country house on the Atlantic coast. Here all the action took place; love, laughter and murder. The owner of this ponderous estate was Dwight Holbrook, played by Robert Yeager, who, with the aid of his close friend, Calvin Driscoll (Warren Zepp), took care of his business in a rather peculiar manner. Staying at his house was a person called Bunny (Jonathan Allured), who appeared to be a mere general handy man, but turned out to be the hero of the play. As the play opened, we watched preparations for an impending wedding. The future bride¬ groom, Gregory Stanton (Russel Proctor), was deeply involved in thought over a tennis match instead of his wedding. His bride-to-be, Sayre Holbrook (Aileen MacPhee), was inclined to resent his actions. With the arrival of Smith (James Donahue), the detective, the plot thickened. The peak was reached when a murder was committed under his very nose. Back row: J. Allured, I. Gerber, R. Yaeger, R. Proctor, J. Fleming, L. Davis, W. Jackson Front row: J. Keeling, C. Holden, A. Keith, W. Zepp, Professor D. G. Downing, F. Robinson 64 “It Goes Like This” Adding immensely to the success of the pre¬ sentation were the performances of Pat Taylor and Nancy Robertson as Mrs. Alicia Keefe and Kay Stanton. The former was an excitable old lady and the latter a young woman whose keen wit kept things moving. A bit of humor was added by Roger Beard as Bart Jessup, the town constable and Roberts (Robert Burns), the duty- stricken butler. This second Masque presentation in the Alden Memorial Auditorium showed conclusively that in addition to being ideal for dances and assem¬ blies, the new hall and stage leave nothing to be desired for the presentation of a real stage production. c t y Although war conditions have brought about many changes in the programs of New England colleges, making it very difficult to form a definite concert schedule, the Worcester Tech Glee Club has already made two formal appearances this season and tentative plans have been made for more to follow. The first concert was given in the town of Whitinsville, Mass., and the second in Hopedale, Mass. These were more or less warm-up con¬ certs for what was to come, but by the time of the Hopedale appearance it was already notice¬ able that the very capable directorship of Clifford F. Green was rapidly rounding the club into an excellent musical organization. A very pleasing highlight of Tech’s Glee Club this year has been the wide variety of features presented. In addition to the well-known and well-liked octet and quartet, the club has pro¬ duced tenor soloist, Frank Morrison; Fred Lind- blad and his sparkling renditions on the piano accordion, and a new soloist, Freshman Bob Drew who continually rustles the sands on the bottom of the sea with his deep bass voice. At the Whitinsville appearance the club found itself faced with many absences because of con¬ flicting exam schedules of the final week before Christmas vacation. To fill in, a quartet was hurriedly formed, composed of Colin Handforth, Russel Morris, Alfred Green, and Bob Drew. The boys donned cowboy hats and flashing red neckerchiefs, and then with the aid of Hand- forth’s guitar proceeded to completely win over the audience with their versions of well-known western songs. At this writing the only definitely scheduled concerts are to be with Pembroke, here at “— and They Call It Music” 65 Back row: C. Ambler, W. Hermonat, J. Mendelsohn, W. Sturtevant, E. Baldwin, H.

Due to the early graduation this year, the annual Spring concert of the combined Tech musical clubs has “Beating Out Boogie” been cancelled and it seems quite likely that all activities of the Glee Club will cease following the first of May for the same reason. For the first time in several years, the Boyn- tonians have strictly adhered to the policy of employing only Tech men. Under the co¬ managership of Jack Townsend and A1 Ashmead, the band has developed quite rapidly. Mai Hunt and Bob Green are working the band into a musical unit that Tech can well be proud of. In addition to all social affairs of the school, the Boyntonians have had the honor of playing for dancing at many of the prep school and high school proms throughout the state. The Boyntonians have felt the sting of mid¬ years almost as badly as the other organizations at Tech. With one bold stroke of the pen the whole brass section was wiped out. To replace this loss, the faculty musicians were called in and filled the positions which they had so unwittingly created for themselves. 66 In the years to come, this dance band will present one of the finest orchestras in this section of the country. A well organized nucleus of freshmen form the backbone of the Boyntonians at the present time. Among those members playing for the orches¬ tra this year were Bill Bennett on the piano, Bob Green on the drums, Mai Hunt and Ed Zieve on the saxophones, Howie Dember and George Barber on the trumpets, and Roy Baharian and Miles Roth on trombones. Another feature of the band this year were the female vocalists in the persons of Leona Mitchell and Betty Sprague. ® A Nl © Every Wednesday afternoon of the past year found the band meticulously practicing for a football game, basketball game, or for the Spring Concert. Conductor William F. Lynch would give the members a strenuous workout without the help of the drum majorettes, who took the eyes of the football fans last autumn. It was L. Mitchell, E. Sprague, M. Roth, E. Zieve, R. Smith, C. Robbins, G. Barber, M. Hunt, J. Parliman, W. Bennett during these practices that the band perfected itself so that it could perform without mishap at all of the home football and basketball games. Th is perfection was brought out to the music lovers of Tech in the band’s Spring Concert, and also proved that engineers make good musicians. Back row: W. Deacon, Manager, C. Bradford, J. Pearce, R.

Debating Society was organized in the spring of 1938 by a group of students under the guidance of Prof. Paul R. Swan. The chief purpose of the society is to provide opportunities for public speaking to all those interested. Numerous discussions within the society and debates with other schools and colleges help to achieve the purpose of the organization. The society is now under the leadership of Mr. Bryant M. French.

The subject debated was the one chosen by the National Association of Teachers of Speech, “Resolved that the Federal Government Should Regulate by Law All Labor Unions in the United States.” Friend Kierstead, ’43, and Roger Beard, ’43, represented Worcester Tech. On December 17, the Tech debaters won a decision over Clark University. Upholding the negative of the N.A.T.S. subject for Tech were Joseph Marcus, ’44, and Einar Ericksen, ’44. This debate was followed by a non-decision match with Boston University on February 13. Friend Kierstead and Herbert Goodman, ’42, upheld the affirmative of the N.A.T.S. subject. On February 25, Friend Kierstead and Herbert Goodman debated Holy Cross on the subject, “Resolved That the United States Should Have an Independent Air Force.” The society participated in a radio discussion on March 5, with Fitchburg State Teachers and Worcester State Teachers, on the subject, “Socialized Medicine.” Speaking for Tech were Joseph D. Carrabino, ’45, and Joseph Marcus, ’44. €©SM©S� ©yiMM] CS.TO The Cosmopolitan Club was organized to promote better understanding and good will among foreign-born students at the Institute. In recent years, membership has been extended to all those interested in foreign affairs. Many faculty members as well as students are members of the club. At the first meeting of the club this year, Dr. Ralph Heller of the Physics Department spoke on Switzerland. Dr. Heller stated that in the universities no quizzes or examinations are ever given during the four-year undergraduate courses. Students are given week-long examina¬ tions at the end of the college course when they apply for degrees. There are no fraternities at the Swiss universities. At the same time, Dr. Heller asserted that in Switzerland, a country of four million inhabitants, four lan¬ guages, German, Italian, French, and Romance are spoken. A military training period of about three months is compulsory, without exception, for all able-bodied male citizens. Mr. H. D. Woodbury was the guest speaker at the November meeting of the club which was held at the home of Dean Howe. He showed colored slides of Yosemite, Brice National Park, and the Grand Canyon.

Chu tarawai cum The Tech chapter of the Newman Club, organ¬ ized in 1915, has had one of its most successful years since the founding. Total registration has always been large. This year there was an in¬ creased membership not only from the freshman class but also from the upper classes. The Newman Club was named after Cardinal John Henry Newman, an outstanding figure in the Catholic Church during the nineteenth cen¬ tury, and in the year 1917 became affiliated with the Federation of Catholic College Clubs. The program this year started with a three-day triduum at the Immaculate Conception Church. Regular monthly meetings were held in the Janet Earle Room of the Alden Memorial. Inspiring and educational talks were given at the meetings by members of the clergy. At one of their meet¬ ings the members were addressed by Ed Krause, former All-American star at Notre Dame. The success of the Newman Club was over¬ shadowed this year by the death of one of its greatest supporters and benefactors, Dr. Charles J. Burns, on December 31, 1941. Dr. Burns had been with the club since its origination, and the continued success of this club may be attri- bring a true conception of the hugeness of the western mountains into the minds of his listeners. In the first meeting of the second term, the moving picture, “Kukan,” was shown. “Kukan” is a picture which has caused much widespread comment on its showing in our theatres. “Ku¬ kan” is a story of China today. It was shot in technicolor by a St. Louis newspaperman and, although it lacks the finish of a Hollywood job, it has a power and a sincerity which are breath¬ taking. The climax of the film is the bombing of Chungking. Bombs scream and fall upon the flimsy buildings, tearing them asunder or setting them ablaze in a dozen different parts of the city at once. Watching it, the members feel vicariously what the people of Chungking must feel—not horror at the death and destruction the bombs have wrought, but blind anger that such barbarities are possible in this enlightened age. R. Fay, G. Hill, F. Santom, F. Oneglia, J. Wright, J. Fleming buted in a large part to his untiring efforts. A well-attended sports dance was held last fall in conjunction with the Worcester State Teacher’s College Newman Club. A formal initiation of the new freshman mem¬ bers of the club was held in the spring, the first initiation of the organization since its origination on the Tech campus and a very successful one. 69 CUD ® The Radio Club began operating very success¬ fully this year with a new two-hundred watt phone transmitter, which has been built in stages during the past several years.

Ever since its inception, the faculty adviser for the group has been Kenneth G. Merriam, Professor of Aeronautical Engineering. This year, perhaps because of the enormous interest focused upon aviation by the current war, the Club has so expanded that its member¬ ship—over thirty members—is far larger than ever before. To keep pace with the ever-growing interest in the Club, its program has been greatly expanded under the leadership of President Harold Crane. Regular meetings of unusual interest were held every month this year. Highlights of the season included many interesting and superior Vice-president; a nd William Clapp, Secretary- Treasurer. At present there are five licensed operators in the club—namely R. Corey, C. Berry, W. Jack- son, J. Fernane, and W. Clapp. The regular club meetings consist of code practice by non-licensed members. On the first of November, the nation¬ wide twenty-four hour, ultra-high frequency con¬ test was held, in which the object was to contact as many amateur stations as possible. The team of Roger Corer, R. Robinson and R. Yaeger stayed overnight on Mt. Wachusett to make fifty-eight contacts, two more than the same team made last year when they were the highest in New England. The results have not been made public, because a state of war exists. All amateur operation has been suspended; and since this work is the Club’s primary interest, activity has ceased until the ban is lifted. However, the members are taking advantage of this lull and are rebuilding W1YK, their sta¬ tion, in anticipation of further activity in the near future. Back row: R. Whitcomb, G. Etherington, F.

In October an organization meeting was called; at this time an airplane identification contest was held and the Club facilities were shown to the new members. December brought forth a meeting at which the fascinating subject of soaring was discussed, illustrated with two films on sail-planes. The first meeting of the new year consisted of a highly interesting talk by Ben Stone of the Aero Department on his adventures in the air. The February meeting was held con¬ jointly with the A.S.M.E.; the feature of this meeting was the excellent movie, “Wright Builds for Supremacy.” A Navy speaker was planned for the March meeting. Throughout the year great interest has been shown in the Link Trainer. Many of the members have spent some time making adjustments and improvements on this device. With the most comprehensive program and the largest membership in its fourteen-year history, the Aero Club feels that the 1941-42 season has been by far its most successful. MAiymCAk ASS©CQ TT]®K1 “Nor’east Breeze” The Nautical Association was first recognized by the Institute when its constitution was accepted late in 1939. During the last two years the group has received a new impetus through the interest that President Cluverius has shown in the club. The association received an appro¬ priation to pay for expenses to and f rom the regattas through the President’s efforts. Because of the inaccessibility of a large body of water, it is difficult for the members to get any practice. The boatmen of M.I.T. have, however, extended a standing offer to our members to go to Cam¬ bridge and use the M.I.T. boats. During the past year the association has par¬ ticipated in several regattas. They journeyed to the Coast Guard Academy to the Non-Member Race for the New England Championship and brought back second honors. At the Schell Trophy Race they placed as thirteenth out of a field of twenty-four, but even so they placed ahead of such teams as Wesleyan, New England Champs, and Michigan University, Mid-Western Champs. The Freshman team went to the Coast Guard Academy with the Club team and partici¬ pated in the Freshman Races. Due to a lack of teammates both the Club team and the Fresh¬ man team had to forego a race at Brown Uni¬ versity because it was held on the same day as the Coast Guard Race. This year the association was under the leadership of Carl Hartbower, Commodore. Back row: J. Breed, H. Bragdon, W. Sheldrick, F. Robinson, R. French Front row: L. Porter, W. Underwood, C.

With the increased interest in skiing and the outdoor sports shown by Worcester Men, the membership of the club has increased with leaps and bounds. At the beginning of the year, the following officers were elected: Mike Brautigam, president; John Chandler, vice-president; and Dayton Brown, secretary and treasurer. In the fall of the year, a successful hike was held with the Outing Club of Mount Holyoke College. This was well attended, especially by the new freshmen mem¬ bers. During the winter, the Club was of great assistance in forming parties for trips to New England ski centers. During the mid-year vaca¬ tion, a group of them enjoyed a few days skiing on Mount Mansfield in Vermont. Due to the demands of the college curriculum, the invitations to participate in winter carnivals had to be declined. The ski team was discon¬ tinued for this year because of the loss of many excellent skiers through graduation. However, there is an abundance of fine new material that Back row: J. Rogerson, J.

Fritch During the past few years, the Camera Club has become one of the most progressive organiza¬ tions on the Hill. The interest displayed by its members has resulted in a series of improvements that promise to make this club one of the finest here at Tech. The continual purchasing of new and improved photographic equipment has made the darkroom complete and up to date. The meetings, which are held monthly, are always a source of interest to the members. These meetings are featured by instructive talks by some of the more prominent photographers around Worcester. One of the meetings this year was highlighted by the showing of colored snap¬ shots by the president. As has been the custom for the past few years, a “Model Night” was held, during which time the members were given the opportunity to 72 photograph a professional model. The excellent lighting system of the new Alden Memorial stage was used, thus enabling the production of many interesting and varied pictures. Needless to say, this particular event brought out every member and greatly stimulated the membership drive. For the future, several exhibitions are planned and prizes will be awarded to the owners of the most outstanding prints. In addition to the exhibitions, the members are given the chance to display their better prints on the bulletin board in Boynton Hall, and much favorable comment has been passed concering them. As was said before, the Camera Club has equipment of which it can be justly proud. At the present time the darkroom is especially featured by a new enlarger, which has made it possible for the members to improve the quality of their enlargements. The individual lockers which have been added have proven to be of the utmost convenience for the members to store their equipment. Also of a high calibre is the “In the Darkroom’’ developing and printing equipment which is most essential for a well-balanced darkroom. All in all, the equipment which belongs to the club clearly illustrates the remarkable advance¬ ment of the association. I? Tf ] C h t € 0 The Skeptical Chymists is a very active society, interested in the recent developments in the field of chemistry. This organization has just completed its twenty-fifth year as a society for the promotion of engineering education. At E. W. Bennett, G. Birchall, K. Fraser regular meetings, students prepare and present discussions based on recent developments in the chemical field. Faculty members and leading industrialists frequently give valuable illustrated lectures. At a joint meeting with the American Society for Metals, Mr. L. W. Davis, chief met¬ allurgist in the forging division of the Aluminum Company of America, gave an illustrated talk entitled “Aluminum Bundles for Britain.” 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 reasoning to the sub¬ ject of chemistry. The Skeptical Chymists is affiliated with the Northeastern Section of the American Chemi¬ cal Society. All students are privileged to attend the meetings of the larger organization. Frequent inspection trips are held to give the students a true picture of how chemical industries are operated today. 73 z o IL Ctrl] The American Institute of Chemical Engi¬ neers has a student branch of the professional society at Tech with the purpose of furthering interest in Chemical Engineering. On October 29, Dr. Hauser, assisted by Dr. Lebeau, gave an illustrative talk on Fluid Flow. On another occasion Mr. C. O. Brown spoke on contemporary Chemical Engineering Problems. Mr. Coleman Caryl, during a meeting on January 9, spoke on the Operation of a Research Laboratory. All student members of this organization receive copies of the “Student Chapter Bulletin,’’ which shows present-day methods and ad¬ vantages of Chemical Engineering. Two student members, Mr. Raymond Wynkoop and Mr. Raymond Southworth, were presented with A.I.Ch.E. keys for outstanding scholastic achievement. The award of such honors in¬ creases the ambition of other members and thereby fulfills one of the chief purposes of the organization. The A.I.Ch.E. Chapter at Tech affords an opportunity to come in contact with and to observe the importance of Chemical Engineer¬ ing. The academic life of any member of Tech interested in Chemical Engineering is not com¬ plete unless he is a member of this student branch. R. C. Brown, R. Smith, Dr. Wilson, Fac., W. Jackson, H. Crosier W. Grabowski, E. Campbell, R. Piper, W. Tunnicliffe The American Institute of Electrical Engi¬ neers is represented here at Tech by a student branch. The purpose of this branch is to discuss student problems and to learn about recent de¬ velopments in the field of Electrical Engineering. This Association boasts some forty members whose interest in the A.I.E.E. is maintained by talks by prominent speakers supplemented by motion pictures. During the school year there were four meet¬ ings of this student branch. On Friday, Novem¬ ber 21, Mr. H. Passburg, an electrical engineer, spoke at one of these meetings on the construc¬ tion of the Wilson Dam and also on the Cobble Mountain hydroelectric project. The highlight of another meeting was the presentation of motion pictures dealing with present-day Electri¬ cal Engineering. This film was sent out by the Underwriter’s Laboratories. Perhaps the most important function of these meetings is in the form of reports on student research presented by students of Tech. Any student at Tech, interested in Electrical Engineering, should join the student branch of this organization if he desires a clearer insight of the importance of Electrical Engineering in the world today. 74 o o The Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers never swerved from its pledge to provide its members with the opportunity to listen to and converse with men whose work is connected with some phase of civil engineering. A number of lectures were given by men with lifelong experience in civil engineering work. At a joint meeting held with the A.I.E.E., the organization heard Hans Passburg, a hydro¬ electrical engineer, describe the construction and installation of the Wilson Dam. His lecture proved to be exceedingly interesting as he had worked on the dam himself. Similarly, a B. Messer, F. Oneglia, D. Hartwell, R. Seaton description of the construction of the Rainbow Bridge was given by Jackson L. Durkee, ’43, who worked on the bridge during the summer va¬ cation and whose father was the resident engineer for that job. The latter talk featured colored movies and slides which vividly portrayed the erection of that bridge. “Forty-two Years a Highwayman” was the title of John Johnston’s talk on the method of highway construction. Having built highways for forty-two years, Mr. Johnston elaborated on the problems of construction which he considered the most interesting. The Mechanical Engineering students on Boynton Hill have recognized the value of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. During the past year, by successfully promoting a series of enlightening lectures on advances in the mechanical engineering field, the association was able to attract the interest of so many stu¬ de nts that it maintained the largest membership of any organization in the history of Tech. An attractive feature of this year’s lectures was the innovation of motion pictures showing the mechanical engineering practices as they are used in industry. “The Commercial Production of Steel” and “Water-Fog” were the titles of two of the films shown to the student A.S.M.E. this year. Their annual joint meeting with the Aero Club was also supplemented by a film on the stages of manufacture of a Wright Cyclone engine. The intricacies of Patent Law were explained in a lecture given by Mr. Hawley. At another time, the society was told of the nature of the army and navy engineering jobs. For the first time in years refreshments were not served during the meetings. The money set aside for the refreshments found a more worthy cause and was given to the Red Cross. R. Fritch, F.

Crossley Tech may well be proud of the fact that it has put teams on the field in all major and most minor sports. For an engineering school with its schedule as it is, this is no small accomplishment. The chief earner of bouquets is the Athletic Council. Not for the accomplishments of this or any other particular year, but for the fine work which the Council continues, year in and year out. It is no small task to outfit a team in every sport. There must be organization, equipment, management, and assurance of a good following. We cannot say that our teams have been world beaters, but throughout the years we can be proud that Tech has been represented by teams playing the games as they were made to be played. We probably shall not graduate men who will take places in professional athletics; that is not our object. We shall, however, grad¬ uate men who in addition to a fine engineering education have the invaluable education afforded by participation in our wide athletic program. This year we inaugurated the freshman rule at Tech. Freshmen are no longer eligible to partici¬ pate in varsity sports, but have their own organ¬ ized schedules and teams. Under this new set-up, the freshman has a chance to display his ability among his classmates instead of being stepped on by the older, more experienced varsity players. The plan promised dividends for the future, but because of present world conditions it will be dropped for the time being. With the new scholastic schedule, freshmen again will be allowed to participate in varsity sports. The change was made by the council, acting upon student and faculty opinion. The Athletic Council holds two meetings each year. In the fall, deserving members of each squad are voted letters by the Council. Finances are discussed and a full financial report is pre¬ sented. The athletic program is discussed and plans made for future events. Soon after this meeting, the annual fall banquet is given in honor of all those connected with at hletics. At this time, major and minor letters are awarded, and captains of the various teams are elected. In the spring, the Athletic Council sponsors a sports banquet for the entire student body. During the second semester the Council holds “Doc and Prexy” a meeting with the student body for the purpose of electing members for the following year. Four student members are elected, while a fifth student member is appointed by the president of the Institute. The faculty members of the Council are Pro¬ fessor Carpenter, chairman; Professor Knight, Professor Higginbottom, and Coach Stagg. This year’s student members are Norman Kerr, president; Edward Lipovsky, vice-president; Thomas Crossley, treasurer; George Vogel, secretary; and Robert Seaton, student member- at-large. 77 Back row: Coach J.

Unable to score a single point during the whole season, the Engineers met some of the toughest teams that ever faced a Tech squad. These teams rang up a total of 209 points against Coach Stagg’s men. Confronted with the Freshman Rule, in effect here for the first time, Coaches Stagg and Pritchard were severely hampered in their attempt to turn out a smoothly working football machine. In addition to this, their unfamiliarity with Tech men and Tech life made their first year with the squad an even greater problem. With the graduation of the Class of 1940 went seven men who formed the nucleus of last year’s team. Such stalwarts as: Elmer Scott, A1 Bellos, Don Atkinson, Pete Wilson, George Knauf, and Ben Phelps were sorely missed when practice began this fall. Among the varsity letter-men who returned in response to Coach Stagg’s call for candidates this fall were: Bob Seaton, fleet junior back; Bob Hanckel, another junior who fills a solid guard berth; Bob Allen, senior triple-threat utility back; Ed Peterson, center; Bob Lotz, a husky end and a convert to the backfield this fall; and Co-captains Andreopoulos and Saarnijoki, both big stones in the Tech line. Others who saw a lot of hard playing time this season and who turned in creditable performances to the man were: Nic Economou, Bud Aubertin, Bert Marsh, Jack Fleming, Don Buser, Ray Herzog, Bob Montgomery, George Vogel, A1 Moroz, A1 Larkin and Pat Stowell. 78 Another factor which contributed to the team’s unsuccessful season was the large number of injuries—injuries which caused at least one key man to be absent from each game. Bob Allen, suffering a pre-season back injury, was unable to play in the first two games. Jack Fleming, in the A.I.C. game aggravated a previ¬ ous knee injury and was shelved until the R.P.I. game. Pat Stowell sprained his ankle during the early practice and his passing services were missed until mid-season. Ace back, Bob Seaton, hurt his back in a pre-season fall, and in the Coast Guard game had to be carried from the field. Hank Parzick, making his debut for Tech in the Trinity game, sustained a broken wrist and was unable to play for the remainder of the season. Coach Stagg’s charges were unfortunate in opposing the Coast Guard Academy in the season’s opener at New London. Rated best small college unit in New England and aided by a huge squad of four complete elevens, Coast Guard had little difficulty in subduing a hard- fighting Tech representation. The only threat by the Engineers led by Al Moroz, failed to bring paying results. Coast Guard, though opposed by the valiant efforts of a weary Tech Team, romped to a 48-0 victory. Trinity College formed the opposition for the Engineer’s second game as Tech traveled to Schedule Coast Guard Academy Trinity College American International College Massachusetts State College Rhode Island State Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Hartford to be beaten by a smooth working Trinity eleven, 35-0. On the opening kick-off, Bob Seaton snagged the ball and romped the length of the field for a touchdown. A Tech offside penalty on the play, however, called it back and this blow to the Engineers’ morale set Trinity off on a scoring spree which ran relent¬ lessly up to the half. In the second half a pepped-up Tech team took to the field and succeeded in holding the burning Blue and Gold to their first half total of 35 points. The Alumni field opener with American Inter¬ national College proved a costly game for the Tech eleven. Nic Economou suffered a badly lacerated eye, Jack Fleming had to be carried from the field, Ed Peterson was forced to quit the play because of a back injury, and Co-captain Andreopoulos finally had to drop out after carry¬ ing an injured knee for the greater part of the game. “Bob” “Gus and Andy” “Bob” The fighting Engineers were badly bogged down by these losses and could not stop the opponents whose offense featured fancy ground¬ work and aerial successes. Through the battered Tech team, sparked by Bob Seaton and “Andy” Andreopoulos, the A.I.C. steamroller pushed to a 41-0 victory. Homecoming Day brought a large crowd of Alumni back to Tech and Alumni Field who were disappointed to see Mass. State trample the Staggmen to the tune of 32-0. The Aggies drew blood early in the first quarter when a punt by Bob Allen was blocked and recovered by State deep in Engineer territory, then carried through center for their first tally. The Aggies scored again in the opening period when a State pass, Ryan to Dwyer, was knocked down by Bob Allen—down into the hands of the same Dwyer for whom it was intended. From this point on, breaks and skill alike, it was State’s ball game. Tech’s only spurt came in the closing minutes of the first half. A pass, Allen to Herzog, netted the Engineers a 30-yard gain. Sophomore Herzog carried on the next play and pranced down the side-line 25 yards to within 10 yards of the goal line, where the end of the half stymied Tech in its only march on the uprights. Improved de¬ fensive playing in the second half of the game could not stop Mass. State from racking up three more tallies. Mud and rain formed the background for the Engineers’ last home game when a highly rated R.I. State eleven subdued the Tech gridders on Alumni Field by the season’s lowest score of 6 to 0. Kept to the ground because of the ad¬ verse weather conditions the Rams were robbed of their great aerial power and marked up their only score a few minutes after the opening whistle. Bud Aubertin and Bob Seaton shone offensively for the home team, while Nic Eco- nomou, sophomore guard, staged a great de¬ fensive show. The last game of an unsuccessful season added another defeat to a hard-trying Tech team’s record. In this year’s game with their traditional rival, the Engineers lost to R.P.I. by the decisive score of 47-0. The R.P.I. men were out to avenge the defeat that they suffered last year at the hands of the 1940 Tech squad, and their smoothly working football machine found little difficulty in rolling through the battered Staggmen. The Engineers could not seem to get their offense rolling against the cherry and white combination and were held on the defensive for the greater part of the game. Backs, Lemke, and Brown of R.P.I. chalked up some good running yardage while Belcher matched punts with Bob Allen. The future graduation will rob us of Bob Allen, Bob Lotz, and captains Andreopoulos and Saarnijoki. These men will be sorely missed but with the addition of this year’s freshmen, pros¬ pects for a coming Tech year seem very hopeful. 80 IF Hi © § K) f@©TJ®Ati, The first Tech freshmen football squad in the school’s history made its debut in the 1941 fall season, playing a five-game schedule. Coached by Jack Dowd, the yearlings won two of the five games played. Their opponents totaled sixty- five points while the Frosh amassed thirty-four points. The yearlings met their toughest opponent, a powerful Commerce team, in their first game. After being on the defense for the first three quarters, they took the offense in the last quarter, but failed to reach pay dirt and returned the loser by a score of 26-0. A much improved Freshmen squad met Worcester Trade School at Alumni Field and were defeated in a closely fought game, 13-7. Trade scored twice during the first quarter, once on a blocked punt and again on a fumble. For the rest of the game Trade took the defensive as the Frosh lashed out for blood. The Dowd men’s one tally came in the third period when, after a steady 65-yard march led by Nichols and Norige, Joe Tivnan scored on an end reverse and Roberge converted through the line. The Freshmen met Nichols Junior College at Dudley for their third game and, in a thrilling fourth period drive on the uprights, scored to win, 6 0. The Freshmen squad traveled to South High field for their fourth game, to be defeated by a superior South aggregation, 26-14. The South “colonels” held the upper hand throughout most of the game, but the Tech freshmen were far from swamped as their total of 14 points indicates. Against the Sophomores the Freshmen shone. The game started as a kicking duel between Sophomore Pat Stowell and Freshman “Big Bill” Taylor. Joe Tivnan set up the yearling’s scoring play by intercepting a pass and reaching the enemy five-yard stripe. “Little Joe” then passed to Taylor for the Freshmen’s only tally. Taylor converted. From this point on the Frosh held back the Sophomore crew, and were likewise prevented from further scoring. The class of ’45 took the game, 7-0. Back row: J.

Next season should be even more successful as only Wilson and Sprague will graduate this year. The opening game with Coast Guard Academy was won by our old rivals after a hard fought game. One of their goals was scored by a Tech man who accidentally headed the ball into our own goal. The second score was made by an unusual corner kick. The final score was Coast Guard 2, Tech 0. Our next opponent, Trinity, showed Tech the way by scoring three goals in the first ten minutes of play. Tech recovered quickly and after driving hard, they finally tied it up at 3-3, with only a few minutes left to play. In the overtime period, Tech kept up its advancing spirit and succeeded in scoring the winning marker. Score: Tech 4, Trinity 3. In the first home game of the season, the Tech soccer team was downed by the booters from Conn.U. by a score of 2-1. Conn, started off strong, scoring early in the first quarter. It wasn’t until late in the third quarter that Tech was able to equalize the score on a beautiful kick by Don Allen. Both teams were striving hard to obtain the winning marker and the opposing goalies were called upon to make some wonderful saves. However, Conn, was not to be denied as they put across the winning tally mid¬ way in the last quarter. Score: Conn.U. 2, Tech 1. The following Saturday, the Tech booters climbed back into the win column by upsetting a powerful team from Tufts. Tufts scored first, but their lead was very momentary as George Collins and Ralph Schultheiss pushed across two goals in quick succession. Ipar tucked the game safely away by scoring in the final canto. Score: Tech 3, Tufts 1. On a muddy field, Clark put up a stubborn battle in the final home game. Our city rivals 82 “How Does He Do It?” surprised Tech’s hooters by constantly stopping advance after advance. Finally, amidst sloppy conditions, the gun sounded with neither team having scored. Score: Tech 0, Clark 0. The final game with R.P.I. ended Tech’s season with its second tie in a row. R.P.I. made the first goal which was closely followed by Tech’s equalizer. Tech’s bid for victory failed when a penalty shot was missed. Score: Tech 1, R.P.I. 1. ra©§K] §©cceb Tech’s initial freshmen soccer team gave an excellent account of itself this past season. Playing some of the top prep and freshmen teams around Worcester, they lost only one game which they later avenged in a return game. The opening game against Nichols Junior College resulted in 1-0 loss for the hard-fighting freshies. Nichols scored when the freshmen full¬ backs and goalie became confused and let a slowly rolling ball trickle into the goal. Led by Baginski, who scored two goals, the Tech freshman walloped the Clark freshmen in their second game of the season. The final score was 3-0. The freshies continued to stay on the winning side of the ledger by winning two 2-0 games against Nichols and Worcester Academy the same week. Continuing to improve their pass- work with each game, the freshmen administered a 3-0 shellacking on the sophomores in their annual game. Back row: Coach K. Fraser, D. Weiss, Manager, J. Perkins, R.

Lotz, W. Stone, E. Totti, J. Houlihan, Manager The close of the 1941-1942 basketball season found Tech suffering from nine defeats out of fourteen games. New coach Paul Stagg was in a difficult position from the beginning. Hampered by the new freshmen rule, he was forced to shape up a team from the remnants of last year’s squad. The team had as the usual starting line-up Co-captain Franny Oneglia and Bob Twitchell at the forward posts, Howie Swenson at center, and Co-captain Bob Lotz and Bill Stone in the back court. A very able replacement was tall, lanky, Arnold Jones. The high scorer of the season was Franny Oneglia, whose excellent playing will long be rememberd. Bob Lotz, although not a consistent point getter, was the defensive backbone of the team. His splendid back-court work broke up innumerable offensives of the opponents. Howie Swenson was a very steady player and could always be counted on to score a plentiful number of points. The most spectacular player of the season was lanky Bob Twitchell, the team’s second high-scorer. His tricky one-handed shots and excellent ball handling were a treat in themselves. Bill Stone was a deadly set shot artist and could always be counted on to come through in a clinch. Arny Jones amused the spectators with his snake-like dribbling, but the opponents could do nothing to stop his long one-handed shots. Outstand¬ ing players were the replacements, including Ed Lipovsky, Steve Totti, George Collins, Art Stowe, Warren Harding, and Franny Santom. The Tech cagers opened their season on the home court by trouncing Assumption to the tune of 66-42, featuring the steady guarding by Bob Lotz and Bill Stone. Franny Oneglia sparkled in setting up plays while Bob Twitchell and Howie Swenson scored 14 and 10 points re¬ spectively. The following week the team traveled to Providence College where the long, narrow, low- ceilinged court hindered the Tech running attack, as numerous shots hit the roof of the gym. The Friars, who were then rated as the number two team in New England, won by the score of 66 to 45. Twitchell again was high scorer with 19 points. Towering Arny Jones at center proved to be a valuable asset to the team. The engineers got off to a fiery start in the New Year by topping Trinity at Hartford, 59 to 50. Tech quickly took the lead and had the substantial margin of 20 points at the end of the first quarter. Nine minutes from the final gun, with Twitchell and Swenson out on fouls, the blue and gold team rallied to whittle a 51 to 26 lead down to four points when Co-captain Franny Oneglia came through with three baskets, netting him a total of 22 points for the evening. Brown came to Boynton Hill acclaimed to be the number one team in New England. At the outset, the Engineers spurted to an 8 to 0 lead. Tech’s shifting defense had the Brown team so well covered that they could not get clear for shots. Brown called time out and asked for a change of uniforms, since some of Tech’s jerseys lacked numbers on both front and back. Brown reorganized their attack but the half ended with Tech out in front 20 to 18. In the second half, Brown began to cash in on their shots and had a lead of 8 points with but six minutes of play remaining in the game. Stone, Twitchell, and Jones then led the team in a rally to tie up the score before a wildly excited crowd. Lotz sank a free throw, which put the Engineers ahead and served as the cue for two more baskets for the Tech team before the gun that ended the game with a final score of 41 to 36. The trip to Tufts brought an anti-climax to the high riding Tech team, when the Jumbos won 62 to 50. The Medford court always has seemed to be a jinx for the Engineers. The wild encounter with Boston University put Tech on the low side of a 57 to 50 battle. Forty-two fouls were called in the forty hectic minutes of play. Rhode Island State’s flying circus featuring Stutz Modzelewski, a Worcesterite who now holds the four-year collegiate scoring record for basketball, packed the Alumni Gym to the rafters. The Rams built up a 10 to 2 lead in two minutes of play. The Engineers, however, began to roll and quickly tied the score up at 14 all. The next few minutes saw the Rhode Island score bulge to 25. From then on the visitors ruled the offensive play and the game ended decisively in their favor, 86 to 59. The Keaney- men gave a perfect exhibition of the fast break¬ ing, all offensive style of play which in the past has often been associated with Tech teams. A strong Springfield team, acting as host, took advantage of Tech’s sluggishness in the first half to take the game by a count of 79 to 50. Twitch¬ ell, Jones, and Oneglia were responsible for all but 11 of the Engineers’ 50 points. 85 ‘Foul ! !” “Two more” Back in the Alumni Gym, Tech played host to Connecticut University. With some sharp shooting by Bob Lotz and Bob Twitchell, the Engineers garnered a 27 to 25 lead at the half. In the second half the team from Storrs really got under way and they won, going away to the tune of 69 to 55. Arnold Jones led the Tech cause with 22 points. Traveling again to Springfield, the Boynton Hillers ran their losing streak to six games as they lost to American International College by 61 to 42. The first half ended with Tech only two points behind, but the second half saw A.I.C. score freely and win easily. With all their hard luck running out at last, the Engineers returned home and decisively upset a favored Clark team by the score of 55 to 40 before a capacity crowd. The first half was a nip-and-tuck battle with basket matched for basket. At the end of the first half, the Stagg- men had built up a lead of 29 to 23 over the South Mainstreeters. In the second half, Tech lost Franny Oneglia while Clark lost two of their key men, Shopes and Lennon, by the four fouls route. When the game ended the Engineers held a comfortable lead of 15 points. Much credit for the victory goes to three sophomores, Bob Twitchell, who led the scoring with 13 points, and to Howie Swenson and George Collins, who alternately held one of New England’s best players, Ziggy Strzelecki, to 11 points which was reportedly the lowest of his career. Still on the home court, the team dropped back into the defeat column losing to a highly rated Mass. State team by 64 to 55. The game started off very evenly and Tech enjoyed a 13 to 12 after ten minutes. From there on, however, in spite of Jones’ 15 points and Swenson’s 10 points, the Mass. Staters built up a lead which they never relinquished. At New London, Tech ran into stiff competi¬ tion and lost to one of the best Coast Guard teams in years by a score of 78 to 50. The game was worth a spectacular rating because of the performance of Franny Oneglia who rang up a total of 35 points. The last game of the season was played at home against a strong R.P.I. team and the home team tasted sweet revenge for the disastrous foot¬ ball game several months previously. The Tech hoopsters, scoring a dozen points before the Trojans broke the ice, romped over their op¬ ponents by a 51 to 35 score. At the beginning of the second half, the score was tied at 26 all, but from then on, Tech put the pressure on and won easily. Co-captains Lotz and Oneglia played excellent games, as did Steve Totti, in the wind¬ up of their college basketball careers. 86 (BMKdTTDMIL The first year of a freshmen basketball team resulted in a fairly successful season for the class of ’45 hoopsters. Under its new coach, Bob Pritchard, the team got off to a flying start, winning three of its first four games. The defeat was a three-period overtime game with the Trinity freshmen edging out a 47 to 46 victory. From this point on, the team very rarely hit its stride, and finished up the season with five victories out of 13 games. Against local high school talent, the Tech Frosh defeated Classical High, while losing to both South and Commerce High Schools. Outstanding performers for the freshmen quintet were high-scorers Bert Mills and Hal Fleit, both now looming as contenders for varsity berths in the coming season. Mills has a great shooting eye and often spiked the Frosh attack by dropping in points from all over the court. Fleit, also a sparkling player, is known for his one-handed shots and his retrieving of the ball off the opponents’ backboard. For the first few games, an additional pair, Harry Bosyk and Bill Taylor, performed nobly for the team. Bosyk dribbled the opponents dizzy while Taylor’s height accounted for many a basket. A steady player and excellent ball handler was Marty Wilson, who racked up his share of points for the cause. Howie Dember, despite his lack of height, came through with a good scoring show toward the end of the season. Phil Sheridan, a newcomer to the team at mid¬ season, proved his merit to the team by his smooth ball handling. Paul Kokulis was a con¬ stant aggressor and a very able dribbler. Other members of the team deserving credit for their season’s performances were Berndt, Halttunen, Hinman, Baginski, Mackay, and Roberge. On the Schedule this year were: Assumption High School, Trinity Frosh, Classical High School, Tufts Frosh, Boston University Frosh, Commerce High School, Springfield College Junior Varsity, Nichols Junior College in two games, American International College Fresh¬ men, Clark Freshmen, South High School, and the Worcester Trade School.

Fairhurst, G. Sargent Despite the hard work of the veterans and the promise of a good crop of sophomores, the 1942 swimming season proved to be one of the poorest in Tech history, with the team failing to win a single meet in seven starts. Lacking outstanding stars, the team had several consistent point- getters in Co-captain Rodney Paige, the Russell brothers, Harrie Rowe, and Sam Coes. It should be noted that because of the lack of a diver, Tech spotted every team eight points before the meet even began. This cost them their only opportunity of the year for a victory. Tech’s first defeat was dished out by a brilliant Mass. State aggregation. The best the Engineers could do was to take three seconds. These were by Paige in the 60-yard dash, Dick Russell in the 200-yard breast stroke, and George Fairhurst in the 440-yard freestyle. Continuing to swim against New England’s better teams, the Boynton Hillers received their worst sinking of the season when Amherst com ¬ pletely outclassed them, 61 to 13. Amherst, by far the best team Tech meets each year, copped every first and second in the meet. Another bad loss was suffered at the hands of Coast Guard Academy, when they invaded the home pool to hold Tech to two firsts, won in the 400-yard relay and the 150-yard breast stroke. In the fourth meet of the season, the W.P.I. Natators took their most humiliating defeat of the entire season when Boston University, usually a Tech victim, swam to their first tri¬ umph in two years. They took all the firsts and half of the seconds of the meet. Landers, of B.U., set a new record in the 220-yard freestyle. Quite similar was the Trinity meet, in which first and seconds fell in the same proportion. A new Fuller Pool record was set in this meet for the 220-yard freestyle by Jack Tyler, of Trinity. The closest meet of the year was with Conn.U. If Tech had had a diver, the 39-35 defeat might well have been a victory. The 400-yard relay team managed to win their event in the hardest way possible. The lead-off man, Rowe, became confused and stopped at the end of three laps, giving the Connecticut team a 5-yard lead. However, Paige, Jackson and Russell more than made up the deficit to win the event. Although most of Tech’s points were made in seconds and thirds, they also took first places in the 150-yard breast stroke and the medley relay, with the Russell brothers taking both first and second in the former. Winding the season up in a triangular meet with Mass. State and M.I.T., at the Cambridge pool, the Tech men were simply beyond their depth against two very excellent teams. The Freshmen swimming team, although managing to gain but one tie in six starts, showed promise and a great deal of spirit. Harry Sand¬ berg’s work in the dashes was outstanding throughout the season and made him the leading scorer of the team. The first meet of the season saw Worcester Academy drub the yearlings, 54 to 14. Sandberg tallied Tech’s only first. In a return match, the Frosh put up a better fight, but stayed on the small end of the score. The nearest they came to a victory was a tie with the Y.M.C.A. In spite of the lack of wins, this is not looked upon as a bad indication for the future, for the purpose of the freshmen team has always been to unearth new talent and train inexperienced men for varsity competition. The real test of the success of the season will be in the performance of the varsity team in the next two years. Among the teams which competed with the Tech Frosh were the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Freshmen, Worcester Academy, and the Y.M.C.A. Back row: B. Abbott, Manager, R. Perry, H. Sandberg, R.

McNamara The 1941 baseball team closed Tech’s athletic season with a record of two wins and one tie in six starts. The opener at Alumni Field saw a hard- fighting Bates team nose out Tech by a count of seven to five, as the Tech sixth inning rally fell short. Kingsley, McNamara, and Aubertin paced the Engineers’ attack with two hits apiece. Bill Carroll turned in the fielding gem as he dove headlong down the hill in left field to catch a Bates fly while lying on his stomach. The next game ended in a slaughter as the American International College shut out the Engineers, 18 to 0. Tech’s errors proved very costly in regular football weather. Tech dropped the third game to Rhode Island State as the Rams overtook a 2 to 0 lead to win by a count of 10 to 2. McNamara and Atkinson led the Tech attack with three and two hits respectively. The Tech Diamond-Dusters opened up in the fourth game by toppling the touted Springfield nine, 3 to 2. Ray Matthews bested Springfield’s Bill Sheldon in the pitching duel at Springfield. Tech took the lead in the fourth by tallying twice, but the Gymnasts used their half of the inning to bring in a mark. Kingsley opened up in the ninth with a single, was sacrificed to second by McNamara, and scampered home with the winning run as Lipovski rapped a single into left field. Scott and McNamara got the other two of Tech’s four hits. The slugfest that followed with Assumption brought Tech the second victory of the season with a score of 14 to 11. McNamara paced the batters getting four for five with Scott and Kingsley runners up for honors. Rain was a bugaboo to the Tech nine when they travelled to Hartford to tangle with Trinity and the game was washed out in the sixth frame with the score tied at five all. Tom Landers was on the mound for the Boynton Hillers and did a neat job despite spotty fielding on the part of his mates. As usual McNamara paced the batters and Scott played a steady game behind the plate. 90 M M 0 Worcester Tech’s tennis team concluded a very inauspicious season last year by losing the finale to Springfield. In all, five matches were lost. The Tech men were hampered somewhat by lack of courts on which to practice, although the Worcester Tennis Club was very generous in allowing the Tech men the use of their Sever Street courts. This year, however they have at their disposal the newly completed courts which rate among the best in New England. Con¬ structed on the old Class of ’93 field, Tech now boasts six clay courts and two composition courts. All in all, matches were lost to Assumption, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Clark, and Springfield. The matches scheduled with Tufts, Massachusetts State Col¬ lege, and Trinity were cancelled. Much improve¬ ment was noted by Coach Higginbottom as the season neared its end; especially in those men who will be returning this year. It is because of this that prospects for the coming year are bright. Early graduation will hurt the team somewhat but with the removal of the freshman rule, all indications point to a successful year. All matches were played on strange courts last year. This, coupled with a lack of ample oppor¬ tunity for practice, presented the Tech netsters with a most difficult obstacle. With this obstacle out of the way and the return of many veterans including: Phil Brown, Stew Dalzell, Lee Cordier, and Frank Foster of the Class of 1944, George Barber and Norm Kerr of the class of ’42, and captain-elect Ed Peterson of ’43. Matches for this year include Trinity at Worcester on April 22, Assumption at Worcester on April 25, Tufts at Worcester on May 1, and Coast Guard Academy at New London, Connecti¬ cut on May 5. Also included will be Mass. State, on May 9, M.I.T. on May 13, Springfield on May 15, and Clark on May 20. All the last four matches are to be played on Worcester’s n ew courts. Thus, at the writing of this article, the Worcester Tech Tennis team, with a poor season behind it, is looking forward to a bright season of many wins and no losses. Back Row: Coach Higginbottom, S.

State and Springfield. Unfortunately, Tech placed third in this meet as it did at the only other triangular indoor meet of the season which was held at Tufts College in Medford. In their first outdoor meet, the 1941 Team scored 70 points to Trinity’s 55 to win their first contest of the year. The outstanding men for Tech were Stayman, who took the 100- and 220-yard dashes. Don Smith, who took the high and low hurdles, and Hector Cameron, who came through in the two-mile run. On the third of May, the team lost to Connecticut University by a score of 74 to 61. This was due largely to their excellence in the field events, the Tech men taking first in most of the running events. Don Smith took first place in both hurdles, while Stayman, Farnsworth and Cameron placed first in their events. Boston University found the Tech men much too strong and went down in defeat 72 to 63. Don Smith was the individual high scorer with 17 points, with Sid Stayman, Lee Ekstrom, Bob Wilson and Hector Cameron winning in their individual races. Tech also entered the Eastern Intercollegiates and the New England Intercollegiates, the latter being held on Alumni Field. The 1942 track season was opened at an indoor meet with Mass. State and Springfield. This meet was held at Amherst with Tech taking third place. Hugo Norige and Wally Underwood both distinguished themselves for Tech, Norige taking a first in the shotput and Underwood battling to a tie for first in the high jump. In the second and final indoor meet of the year, Tech bowed to both Mass. State and Tufts in the State Cage. Stayman was the individual high scorer for Tech, taking first in the thirty-five yard dash and in the three hundred. Other point getters were Underwood, Norige, Schoen and Hallisey. With five outdoor meets before them, the team is looking forward to victories over Trinity, Connecticut University, Boston University and the other colleges in the association meets. 92 “Pay Day at W.P.I.” With the return of Ken Hunt and his omni¬ present little brown cap, Worcester Tech opened another cross-country season. In their first race, Tech was handed a 21-36 defeat. However, the day was very unsuitable for running, as the thermometer hovered about the ninety degree mark. The intense heat caused Jerry Roy and Gordie Sherman to give an outstanding display of courage. Completely exhausted, they both collapsed only a hundred yards from the finish line. Captain Ken Hunt made Tech rooters forget the defeat when he not only finished first but also broke the track record. After two weeks rest, the Tech harriers entertained a powerful Connecticut University team. With the first three Connecticut men finishing only two seconds slower than the record time, Tech didn’t have a chance. The result was a 17-42 defeat. The following week Tech made a determined effort to win before the Homecoming Day crowd but failed to do so by a very slim margin. Although Ken Hunt again came in first, Mass. State eked out a 27-29 win. Becoming almost a tradition with the Boston University race, a drizzly, cold day hampered the runners when the two teams met. Tech proved the better mudders and won their first victory, 26-29. As usual, Ken Hunt finished in the lead. For their final race, the cross-country team journeyed to Troy. Here, the longer course proved a little too much for the Tech runners, and they lost to Rensselaer, 26-29. Back row: Coach J. Johnston, C. Kinne, D. Brown, D. Whitney, W. Ames, Manager Front row: R.

Hellig, W. Bosyk, K. Hunt Worcester’s 1942 Golf Team will start the season with a squad of four veterans and three freshmen, hoping to better the record of two wins in six starts compiled by last year’s team. The two wins were both shut-out victories over Clarkson Tech and Rhode Island State. Last year’s veterans who are still at Tech are Capt. Ken Hunt, ’42; Vic Thulin, ’42; Jack Durkee, ’43; and Clipper Hellig, ’44. Seniors Ken Hunt and Vic Thulin will be available for the first match only, which is scheduled with Amherst on April 27. These key men will be graduated on May 1 and thus the season’s hopes will rest largely on the remaining six men. Captain Ken’s steady hammer-like shooting netted him a clean slate of seven wins out of the same number of starts in last season’s forays, and Vic’s smooth form and unruffled shotmaking will also be greatly missed by the 1942 team. The abolition of the short-lived Freshman rule has given the 1942 Team three promising players from the Class of 1945. They are Ed Berndt, Bert Mills, and Mitch Tenerowicz. All of these Freshmen have had a great deal of competitive experience in their high schools and prep schools and should prove valuable additions to the team. Also the services of Bob Fay of the class of ’44 should prove a valuable aid to the squad. Despite the early season’s hopes of last year’s team, the Boynton Hillers fell before the superior teams of Amherst College, Norwich University, and M.I.T. in their first three matches. The following match with Brown University also ended in defeat. The ice was spectacularly broken, however, with a shut-out victory over the Clarkson Tech divot diggers, 6-0. The boys then travelled to Boston to tangle with the Boston University boys, but did not find the short hilly course to their liking and went down in defeat. The next hop, to Hartford to play Trinity, ended in a closely fought defeat, but it was well decorated with some brilliant shot-making by Hunt and Thulin. In the final encounter of the season, the squad was really “on the ball’’ and showed their true mettle to the tune of a 6-0 shutout over Rhode Island State College. 94 GU IF IL Three years in the New England Rifle League have brought about many changes in the per¬ formance of our Rifle Team. The scores this year show that never before in the history of the club has there been such excellent shooting. Also, the team has one of the highest averages in the league. However, as luck would have it, the other teams in the league are far better than usual and the results of the matches show a good number of wins and ties, but many more losses. Captain Clark, who is one of the best shots in New England, did very fine work during the year and helped to bolster many a score. Matches are held every Saturday with one team or another, some held “shoulder-to- shoulder” with both teams actually present, and others held by mail. During the year matches were held with the following schools: Northeastern, Bowdoin, Yale, Conn. State, Harvard, M.I.T., Lowell Textile, Coast Guard, Carnegie Tech, New Hampshire U., Tufts, Rens¬ selaer, Boston U., Wentworth, and Vermont U. Plans are being made to incorporate the group into a campus guard to work in conjunction with the A.R.P. groups. The officers this year were the following: President, J. Rogerson; Vice-president C. Parker; Secretary, J. Wholean; Treasurer, B. D’Ewart; Captain, R. Clark; Manager, F. Mer- riam; Faculty Adviser, Mr. Boggs. Back row: J. Breed, E. Smith, R. Carey, R. Fitts Second row: R. Boyce, F.

Etherington The Interfraternity Council is composed of delegates from each of the nine Greek letter fraternities on the Hill, plus two members of the faculty who are elected each year by the Council. Its purpose, as stated in the constitution, is the promotion of a closer relationship among the “Talking it Over” chapters of the fraternities represented on the Council, the faculty, and the student body. The Council was organized at Tech in 1911 and be¬ came a member of the National Interfraternity Council four years later. Alpha Epsilon Pi applied for, and was granted, admission to the Council this year, which gives a representation of one hundred per cent of the fraternities on the Hill. The principal function of the Council is the supervision of rushing. Several years ago the old open system was discarded and a carefully super¬ vised, deferred system, which gives each fra¬ ternity an equal chance, was adopted. The Council publishes a booklet of rushing rules each year, which is distributed to each member of the student body, and it also meets every day during the rushing periods to act on the many problems that arise. In addition to this, the Council sponsors gen¬ eral excellence and scholarship prizes for the fraternities, interfraternity competition in vari- Chairman (First Semester) Prof. Paul R.

Fea¬ turing the music of Hal McIntyre and his Band, the ball was considered to be one of the best ever. In order to meet unsettled conditions brought about by the war emergency, a quota system of rushing was introduced and voted upon by the Houses. Under this system, each House would be assured of a certain number of men before any other House could pledge more than its quota. This system would put the various chapters on a more substantial footing to meet any emergencies that might arise from rising costs or high numbers of withdrawals from the Institute. Also under discussion this year were changes in the Rush Week dates, but it was finally decided to keep them much the same as originally planned. One change in administration did take place, however, Prof. Paul Swan resigning, due to the additional duties of the Alumni office, and being replaced by the former secretary, Prof. Harold J. Gay. Prof. Edwin Higginbottom was elected to fill the place of Professor Gay as secretary. 99 K dfl 11 R. E. Allen W. L. Ames W. J. Grabowski W. G. Harding N. A. Kerr Skull, the only senior honorary society on the Hill, is undoubtedly the most respected student organization. Its primary purpose is to make a sustained effort to further Tech spirit; secondari¬ ly, it strives to stimulate undergraduate interest in campus activities. Chiefly because its mem¬ bership is limited to men of outstanding per¬ sonality and ability, Skull exerts considerable control over student opinion. Founded in 1911, Skull has an enviable record of over thirty years of service to Tech. Although the association was founded in 1911, its existence and purpose was not revealed until 1912. For the first few years of its existence, the society of Skull did not have a satisfactory meeting place, but when the magnetic laboratory had to be abandoned due to installation of a trolley line on Boynton Street, the stone building on the lower corner of the campus was given over to Skull as a secret meeting place. Additional prestige is lent to the organization, in that it numbers many of the faculty among its members. With the executive body, this student organiza¬ tion controls class rivalry. The only public ceremony of Skull, the annual Spring pledging, is held in the auditorium of the Alden Memorial and is always well attended by both faculty and students. This “tapping” ceremony is deeply impressive. While every member of the huge audience waits in breathless silence, each member of Skull, dressed in a dignified black robe, descends from the stage in his turn and slowly, deliberately passes among the students in search of his pledgee. After seemingly endless hesitation, the member finds the honored man and firmly strikes him on the shoulder. He then escorts the new pledge to the stage, where, before the entire student body, he receives the coveted pledge pin from the presi¬ dent of Skull. “The Tomb’’ 100 “On Watch” Men selected for membership are chosen from the Junior class alone. “Outstanding personality and ability” are the sole qualifications for mem¬ bership, but the number of members can never exceed eleven. Many of the faculty hold mem¬ bership in Skull. Our Prexy, Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius, heads the list, which also includes: Dean Francis W. Roys, Dr. Albert J. Schweiger, Prof. Herbert F. Taylor, Prof. Donald G. Downing, and Prof. Edwin Higginbottom. Annually Skull awards a prize to the Fresh¬ man who, in the opinion of the Society, has done the most for the Institute. This Freshman’s name is added to the list of previous winners engraved on the Skull trophy. Although this is one of the highest honors a Freshman can receive, it by no means guarantees membership in Skull. Tapped by Skull for membership in 1942-43 were Robert Seaton, captain of football, Frank McNamara, captain of baseball, Edward Peter¬ son, a member of the varsity football team, Robert Montgomery, also a varsity football man, Arnold Jones, varsity basketball center, Beh- rends Messer, a member of the track and relay teams, Thomas Landers, star baseball pitcher, Bud Aubertin, varsity football and baseball player, Edward Lipovsky, member of the foot¬ ball and baseball teams, Harry Merkel, captain of soccer for the past year, and Arvo Saarnijoki, varsity football lineman. At the same time, Prof. Arthur J. Knight of the Civil Engineering Department was tapped. Prof. Knight is Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, Head of the Worcester Tech Air Raid Protection System, a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Thus, from the day he enters Tech, it is the supreme ambition of every Freshman to be deemed worthy to wear the distinguishing white cap of Skull. W. R. Lotz F. J. Oneglia R. G. Paige F. W.

Bendett, H. Crosier Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell University in 1886, as the engineering equivalent of the liberal arts honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. During its fifty-five years of existence, Sigma Xi has grown to a membership of over twenty thousand. The avowed purpose of the Society is to promote research in scientific fields of endeavor. The local chapter of the engineering honor society was established on the campus in 1908. Meetings are held several times a year, during which new developments in science are discussed. Speakers for these meetings are usually outside industrialists or visiting professors. Faculty members and graduates are eligible for full memberships, while seniors are eligible for associate memberships. At the fall pledging, Mr. Gregory Pincus was chosen for full member¬ ship along with thirteen seniors who were picked for associate memberships. Professor Stanley H. Fillion of the Civil Department was chosen Secretary of the Society, succeeding Prof. Willard E. Lawton of the Physics Department. Elections for the associate memberships are held on the basis of scholarship and general curricular achievement. While the associates are not full members, they receive most of the benefits of the society. 102 t 1AM 1A Tau Beta Pi was founded at Lehigh Uni¬ versity in 1885, while the local chapter was organized in 1910. Its aim is to honor those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and ex¬ emplary character as undergraduates in engi¬ neering, or by their attainments as alumni. The fifty odd chapters of Tau Beta Pi in the leading technical colleges in America form the largest undergraduate honorary engineering fraternity. Seniors in the upper fourth and Juniors in the upper eighth of their classes are eligible for mem¬ bership in the honorary society. Each year two elections for membership are held; one in the fall and one in the spring. One custom of Tau Beta Pi, which has been followed for several years, is the awarding of a prize to the member of the present Sophomore class who during his Freshman year has main¬ tained a first honor grade, and showed a definite interest in the many phases of campus life. This T B TT year, preliminary to the fall pledging ceremony, Philip P. Brown received a log-log deci-trig slide rule to signify that he possessed the qualities that, in the eyes of the members of Tau Beta Pi, were necessary in the character of a potential candidate for the society.

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 fraternity. Entrance to this largest Catholic fraternity occurred in November 1935. “Bull Session’” “Hey, Fella’s” 121 Top Row: 1. “Have you heard this one?” 2. “W. P. I. or W.

You are going to say, “O.K. so I own it. Who would possibly want to buy it?” In asking that question you have us—just as the Chemis¬ try Department and the Physics Department get us whenever they desire to. Ah! An idea— your best bet is the government. It is very fond of projects, and W.P.I. would keep them busy for years (look at us). Oh, all right, you don’t want it (we knew you wouldn’t, darn it). It must be sold to someone. What? You say that you will sell it for us if you have to take no risks. Brother, the only risk you take is from men like us who, after they have bought it, wonder why. You want suggestions? The best prospects for future W.P.I. men (wrecks) are those who have never seen the place. To these you can describe the mildness of the climate, the beauty of the locality, and the excellence of the environment offered on the Hill. Be sure to praise the wide scope of the knowledge that it is possible to obtain from the sweetest of men, the professors. Tell them of Boynton Hall (skip the first floor with its Dean’s office and Bursar’s office). First describe the beauty of the building—built by the citizens of Massachusetts (are they bragging or complaining?)—and de¬ scribe its structural wonders (it’s a wonder that it stands up). If they seem to be concerned about the good of their fellow men, advise them to enlist in the Civil course—to help the rest of the civils hold up Boynton. Above all don’t forget the men who hold forth in this edifice. Be sure to mention the wonderful Doc Atwood, who speaks and in so doing causes Mayor LaGuardia to start running in search of a fire. A. J. deserves notice too—his beaming face at eight o’clock in the morning is unexcelled as an inspiration for higher learning. Now go on to the Physics and Chemistry Building and point out the wise thinking and foresight involved in planning the occupation of this masterpiec e. The Chemistry Department possesss the top two floors—this means that the whole building is not in danger whenever “Joe Chem” enters a laboratory. Doc Butler’s rosy cheeks and stirring lectures should be a great attraction. Don’t dwell on the Physics Department. Merely mention it and assure the innocents that the best place to catch up on lost sleep is one of Herr Doktor Masius’ lectures. Hurry on to the Electrical Building and dis¬ cuss the wonders here produced, Charlie Clark being one of them. It is a marvelous place— electrons buzzing all around, electricity flowing all over, move an inch in the wrong direction and you might as well lie down—you’re dead. (What am I saying?) Exalt Doc Morley to the skies as a lover of health, fresh air, and sleep. Tell of Wild Bill’s snap quizes—easiest and most liked on the campus. The new M.E. Building is your next stop. Give a dissertation on the art here reproduced, on the joyful hours spent in M.E. Lab., on Pinky and his red and blue pencils. Don’t for a second forget the senior abstracts that are given here (they can’t, so why should you?). Tell them of Dean Roys’ new panelled office, where those of us who are of sufficient mental caliber are called up on the carpet (I mean “called in to confer”). There is a lot that you could say about the muscle factory and about its guardian, Doc Carpenter, but you could never say as much as Doc can so keep quiet. Life in the Dorm (Is that life? It is? Oh, pardon me.) is the next subject. Paint a picture (Oh, you have to be VERY versatile to sell W.P.I.) of men seeking culture (Since when has culture been another word for women?) in the quiet halls of S.R.H. Make them see the ad¬ vantages of such a life—living with their fellow men (Who else is there to live with?), eating with their fellow men (I mean eating against their fellow men). The rest, the peace of mind, the fellow love all go to make up Dorm life (or death as the case usually is). That presents the case of W.P.I. pretty well to a man who has never seen it. If, however, your customer has cast his eyes on it, you had better tell him, before using the above arguments, that we are not queer, we just act it. 127 AN OPEN LETTER ON RUSHING Dear Brothers, Whoever said that rushing freshmen was a burdensome task did not know the secret of rushing. After years of careful deliberation, we, the undersigned, have completed a program which is a sure method of getting your freshmen. The first step is to secure a list of names of all the “good” freshmen from the registrar’s office. It might be necessary to use the influence of a box of chocolates. Then have the registrar write these freshmen telling them all about your out¬ standing points. They should, by all means, fail to answer the letters which the registrar will not write. When the Freshmen Reception comes ’round be sure to send your scouts (eagle scouts if you have them) with their magnifying glasses to really look into these new “men” (this term is questionable). Have a notebook handy to record the make of chewing gum in which they indulge, kind of tobacco, and the color of hair of the blondes on which they have their eyes. Be sure to attend all Freshmen-Sophomore activities and root for the Frosh (when they’re looking). This will be an excellent opportunity to display your fatherly instincts by comforting the freshmen underdogs. In the Paddle-rush you have another opportunity to pound your points into them. It also offers a warming up for “Hell Week.” On the arrival of Rush Week make sure that all brothers arise from their slumbers no later than five in the morning. They will not have the sluggish feeling of too much sleep and will be prepared to withstand the “fun” offered by Rush Week. They should go into strict training which would include, of course, a nightly tour to all the night clubs in town including The Boynton. If they should close too early, a party of your own could be started. This extracurricular activity will certainly be interesting (If you can manage to stay in the Institute). The profs will be extremely moved by your different excuses for not attending classes. Don’t stand for any back- talk and if they insist that you attend, volun¬ tarily withdraw yourself from the Institute. It will be to your advantage to have your Packards, Cadillacs, and Lincolns on hand to transport the freshmen to wherever they wish to go. Be sure that the other fraternities do not see you doing this but a remedy is to have black curtains installed at all windows. Questions will be asked but tell the inquirer to mind his own business. Any action taken by the Interfrater¬ nity Council can be strongly opposed by your competent lawyers. When you arrive at the Dormitory at 5.30, break down the door and awaken your freshmen with a hearty shout. If they refuse to get up, use a little icewater as a persuader. They will love this for it will make them feel brisk and wide-awake. Dress them quickly and if they’re old enough to shave, do this with the straight¬ edge razor which is in your back pocket. This is the time to ask which house they plan to join. Do not scare them!! Patch all cuts with adhesive tape, adding a little extra here and there so that you may point him out as “the one who gave the wrong answer.” If he does not give an absolute negative answer consider him practically yours. Bring him down to your house for breakfast and fill his pockets with candy and chewing gum. Show him all the pictures of the pretty girls you have and tell him that you’ll fix him up with any of them. Do all this before breakfast for he probably won’t be interested anyway and it will work up an appetite. Have a variety of twenty or more cereals at his disposal but do not care if the eggs which are served are a little rotten. A fan in the corner of the dining room, blowing moth balls, will remedy any odor from the eggs. During the day have about five men with each prospective freshman and carry his books for him always. After school do his homework for him. It will not matter whether you do the problems right but do them with great speed showing him that you know something. At night have a ten-course dinner set before him. After you have forced him to eat everything set before him, take him up into a sound-proof room away from everyone.

Frederick Wheeler Myron Waldo Willard, Jr. John Edward Wood Pliny Williams Wood Robert David Wood Philip Clare Wright Paul Charles Yankauskas HISTORY —Continued from page 27 under way on the addition to the Chemistry laboratory, and the visiting grads were thus able to visualize the completion of the building program. The Tech Carnival was back in all its glory and was the first dramatic effort to be produced in the new auditorium. The versatility of the fine stage facilities lent much to the excellent production by the Masque of “Ceiling Zero,” and also to “The Sleeping Car,” the annual faculty play to which students were admitted for the first time. All the big dances of the year were held in this auditorium, but the best of all was, of course, our own Junior Prom, for which Little Jack Little furnished the music. As an innova¬ tion, the Tech Council sponsored a Depression Drag for the purpose of raising funds for the athletic equipment fund. As Juniors, we were eligible for the Peel Prize competition, and our approaching maturity was even more fully real¬ ized as Skull tapped ten and Tau Beta Pi initiated four of our number. Taking stock at the beginning of our final year as undergraduates, we discovered that a class that originally numbered 187 had been pruned by the ever cautious faculty to 122 potential graduates. We found ourselves a bit aloof from the heated inter-class rivalry that saw the rope pull taking place on dry land because of the lack of water in Institute Pond. In a very short time we were posing at Bushong’s Studio; interviewers began to appear on the campus earlier than ever before; thesis subjects were in the minds of many; and all this made us suddenly aware of the fact that soon we were to join the ranks of the Alumni. A representative number of our class¬ mates were pledged by Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi, and we noted with pride that the names of thirteen Tech men appeared in the collegiate “Who’s Who.” The new coaches, Paul Stagg and Robert Pritchard, took over the athletic reins under adverse conditions brought about by the fresh¬ man ruling. They did their best with the avail- Continued on page 132 130 (gLT- Manufacturers of Fire Arms Electrical Products Molded Plastic Products Dishwashing Machines COLT’S PATENT FIRE ARMS MFG. CO.

However, the events since December 7 have caused drastic changes not confined to the Department of Physical Education. Chief among these is accelerated program of the two upper classes, aimed at making graduate engi¬ neers available at an increased rate. We have also witnessed the establishment of the W.P.I. Emergency Auxiliary Corps, formed to provide air-raid protection for the buildings of the Institute, and we have taken part in practice blackouts. All this was certainly far from our minds in September 1938. Social life, though somewhat de-emphasized this year, was the presentation of the best Carnival acts of our four years, with no excep¬ tion. We look forward to “Through the Night” to be presented by the Masque and also to the first joint dance of the three upper classes. The Higgins Laboratory is now in use, as are the new soccer and tennis courts. The comple¬ tion of the ornamental drives and plots of the West Campus leaves only the relocation of the Department of Civil Engineering to complete the plan for a greater Tech, a development which we have been able to watch from the start. As we look back over the last four years, we realize how much Alma Mater has given us. In return we have given her our best, and as we leave the Hill, never to return as undergraduates, there is in our hearts a deep feeling of gratitude for the opportunities and associations she has made available to us and a determination ever to uphold her honor and to respect her teachings.

And so, one more revolution in the whirl of his education is spun off and Elmer faces his senior year full of en¬ thusiasm, the thirst for knowledge at last aroused in him. He is no longer the shy, awkward youth from Lower Cupcake Junction, Ky., who first set foot on Institute soil three years before. Worces¬ ter Tech has done wonders for him, and with a final year yet to go, should give him the much sought combination of education and worldliness. At last it has come! Yes, our Elmer is now a senior. He has reached the climax in his college career. Happily he strides through the last stanza of his Institute training. Hydraulics flow before him and are indented into his mind with a rare mixture of wit and philosophy by Charlie and Hoop—“Lotta hydraulics in those pages, fellows.” He masters business and graphics and law. Into E.E. he delves for awhile. A man shuffling along the halls of the E.E. building, face hidden beneath a green visor, approaches him, and lo!—he has seen Cappy. He dabbles a bit in electronics under Sparky’s care, and nearly meets disaster as he works with Vic and his high frequency generator. He has trouble, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. Setbacks he takes in his stride, and finally, after successfully completing a phenomenal thesis, the moment for which he has worked four years arrives—he is awarded his degree. And as it has gone with Elmer Corn, so it has been the same with our own graduating class. We are soon to reach the high spot in our lives as student engineers and then to take our place in fame’s spotlight. To the faculty we are indebted, both for teaching as professors and guidance as friends. AN OPEN LETTER ON RUSHING —Continued from page 128 form to “lead pipe” him, go to the nearest shop and secure a brass pipe. This, you will find, will stand up longer under the onslaught. If after a thorough beating he refuses to join up, throw him out onto the street and consider him a bad risk anyway. One freshman after another may be rushed this way and if you do not pledge at least five fresh¬ men after starting this plan, we will not be surprised. Fraternally yours, G. Ima Tekman Ohno U.
