I The 1943 3888 w(.«Wjti ! PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Editor-m-Chtef George F. Fairhurst Managing Editor James L. Loomis, Jr. Business Manager ... Behrends Messer, Jr. Advertising Manager .... T. A. Pierson, III Photography _ Bushong Studio Engraving _ Howard-Wesson Co. Printing _ The Heffernan Press Foreword This sixteenth edition of the Peddler is presented as a permanent record of the accomplishments of the Class of Nineteen Forty-Three and as a graphic representa¬ tion of college life on Boynton Hill. In this troubled period of international discord and domestic upheaval, the Past is relegated to the background, and every¬ one now looks to the Future. However, it is our sincerest hope that after the tumult of War has subsided and life returns again to normal that this yearbook will serve as a key to that particular door of Remin¬ iscence behind which are stored the mem¬ ories of life and associations at Worcester Tech. FACULTY ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENTAL HEADS PROFESSORS INSTRUCTORS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Although the work of the officers of Administration covers a great deal of territory and entails the grave responsibility of efficient operation of the school, they perform their tasks so well that we scarcely realize their presence. It is their duty to interpret and enforce the Institute rules, to see to the proper maintenance of the buildings, to record a multitude of data, and to guide our relations with the general public. We should be truly thankful, especially in these troubled times, for the excellent work they do.

The Class of 1943 is finally graduating and in appreciation and remembrance we dedicate this to the owners of the strong hands that guided us down the groove of higher education. Our story is written entirely in the spirit of fun and we hope it will be read in that light. Let it here be said that any faculty member who thinks he has grounds for a libel suit after reading this should just step around to the Peddler office. We haven’t a leg to stand on, and will gladly settle out of court. A student’s eye view of our faculty is not the best basis for forming an acquaintance—in too many cases it’s too much like a worm’s description of a robin. However, it is the only basis most of us have, and we must make the best of it. Let us remember that a robin is, after all, just a robin, and professors are really human.—We have it on good authority that some of them do not even beat their wives. For our four year glimpse of the chosen few who shaped our destiny, let us look through the eyes of the man who Charles Joseph Adams Professor of English Morton Masius Professor of Physics Theodore Harding Morgan Professor of Electrical Engineering (Leave of Absence) Raymond Kurtz Morley Professor of Mathematics 14 HEADS Leland Leavitt Atwood Professor of Modern Languages and History Percy Robert Carpenter Professor of Physical Education Andrew Hall Holt Professor of Civil Engineering (Leave of Absence) Francis William Roys Professor of Mechanical Engineering Albert James Schwiecer Professor of Economics, Govern¬ ment, and Business Ernest Dana Wilson Professor of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry 15 began his career at Tech as Oscar Zilch. Oscar got ninety-five on his final exam in high school physics, and he was going to major in physics at Tech, and show the world a thing or two. His first contact is at the dorm, with Daddy, whom he can’t quite figure out. How can anyone be so hospitable, busi¬ nesslike, affable, and firm, all at once? Next he is introduced to Cosine, and de¬ cides at once,— He’s okay, but he’ll bear watching. I can’t have a proctor doing me out of my dessert, just because I don’t like to make beds.” Oscar’s third contact is a blind date provided by the same Cosine, and he promptly decides that desserts aren’t so important after all. But that is another story. The array of wise men facing the fresh- Francis Joseph Adams Professor of Electrical Engineering, and Acting Plead of Department Frederick Raymond Butler Professor of Chemistry Charles Metcalf Allen Professor of Hydraulic Engineering Edward Choate Brown Assistant Professor of Mathematics Donald Graham Downing Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Harold Winthrop Dowes Professor of Mechanical Engineering Harry Benjamin Feldman Assistant Professor of Chemistry (Leave of Absence) Harold Edward Graves Professor of Chemical Engineering Engineering Carl Gunnard Johnson Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Stanley Herbert Fillion Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering Arthur Julius Knight Professor of Civil Engineering, Acting Head of Department Harold Joseph Gay Professor of Mathematics Leslie James Hooper Assistant Professor of Hydraulic Engineering Robert Philips Kolb Professor of Heat-Power Engineering (Leave of Absence) men is indeed imposing, and Oscar runs the gamut. First, he is scared so much by Dutchy that he gets nothing from the class; next he is lulled by Doc so that he can’t remember a word that was said in lecture, and finally he is almost complete¬ ly deafened by the man with the voice in Mechanical Drawing. Oscar soon learns once and for all that one simply does not fall asleep in math class. Nor does one cut, nor let assignments pile up. Doc and Happy and Bill see to this. In the spring, along with the flowers and trees, there blossoms a doubt in Oscar’s mind, the seed for which was sown in the ruins of the first physics exam. This scientific terminology stuff is probabl y okay,” says Oscar, but I’ll take mine in small doses.” The upshot of the matter is that he signs up for the M. E.

For the benefit of the unenlightened reader, Physicists are always called Oscar, and Mechanical Engineers are always called Joe. Civils and E.E.’s are apt to be called almost anything. But to get back to Oscar, or rather, Joe. With the new accelerated program, Joe is thrown into contact with a great number of new mentors in rapid succession. Hig- gie, after Pop, is an amazing contrast. Surveying, with Des Smith, is something to be looked forward to (at least until cold weather). And for another treat we have Sam, the flyin’ man, in physics. Jeepers Creepers! Black Mac turns out to be not nearly as bad as his nickname implies, and classes with Don are so clear that one almost en¬ joys them.

In the economics department, the Well, fellows” of Doc Schweiger, the witticisms of Ed Watson, convince Joe that these subjects would probably be pretty good, if there were more time to spare for them. In the E.E. department our friend meets Ripper and Cappy, and renews his acquaintance on a new basis with Daddy. Joe thinks It’s too bad they had to go wrong.—They ought to be teaching M.E.” At long last Senior year rolls around. No new faces now, but Joe’s old acquaint¬ ances become friends. He begins to un¬ derstand what these men have given him, almost in spite of himself. He realizes that it makes no difference what he does after graduation. These men have faith that he can do his job, and by gosh, he’ll surely try.

C. A. PUBLICATIONS MASQUE MUSICAL GROUPS CLUBS ENGINEERING SOCIETIES extra THE STORY The Tech Council is one of the most im¬ portant organizations at Worcester Poly¬ technic Institute. Its object is to further the interests of the Institute in all possible ways. Regular meetings are held bi-monthly; at these meetings the affairs of college life are thoroughly looked into by both the student and faculty members. This year the newly adopted constitution went into effect. Under this constitution the membership is divided into two classes, TECH COUNCIL Back row: E. Peterson, H. Swenson, H. Norige, H. Brautigam Front row: Prof. D. Downing, Pres. Cluverius, E. Lipovsky, Prof. H. Rice 26 OF A WAR YEAR AT W.P.I. ex-officio and elective. The ex-officio mem¬ bers are the President of the Institute and the presidents of the classes, clubs, and or¬ ganizations. The elective members consist of two faculty members and nine under¬ graduate members elected from the respec¬ tive classes, the president being a senior. As in the past, the Council serves as a guiding body and has control of many of the undergraduate activities. It possesses the power to regulate class elections and finan¬ ces, to control all Freshman hazing, and to control the purchase and design of the Col¬ lege jacket. It also may limit the extra¬ curricular activities of a student as stated in the Activities Eligibility Code. The Council, in sponsoring the Annual Sports Banquet and pre-game rallies, helps in promoting the athletic interest at Tech. The cheer-leading squad, under the new constitution, became a definite organization under the control of the council. Another important matter for which the new consti¬ tution provides is the council’s charge of the drafting of Class Constitutions. This year the Annual Sports Dance was again promoted by the Tech Council in col¬ laboration with the S.C.A. and proved to be one of the outstanding social functions of the year. The Tech Council stands as a connecting link between the faculty and the student body. In this way, all the student activities are brought under the control of a central organization. A cooperative and unified action is brought about by this combination of faculty and students when problems or questions are brought before the Tech Council. JULY 1942 - FEB. 1943 No one can foretell the future. What life at Tech will he like next year is a matter of conjecture which we could not even attempt. Even in the interim of publication changes may occur which would make any predictions, no matter how vague, look very foolish. This story is, in a sense, not a story hut rather a preface; a pref¬ ace to a chapter that will have to be completed by that gentleman with the long white beard, Father Time. We can only remind you of how it was in the beginning . . . On July 20 a class of 123 earn¬ est Seniors assembled in Boynton Hall. President Wat Tyler Cluver- ius welcomed the group with a brief address. In a concluding statement the President informed the seniors that new ' faces would be seen on the campus this year. Army and Navy men taking pre- flight training would appear on the Hill as well as extra (and “extra nice”) defense course trainees. The summer passed quickly for the seniors. Fall shop groups soon made their appearance ami in late Future Ensigns 27 Ensigns September a class of 209 Fresh¬ men filler! up the rest of the vacant campus space which harl been so noticeable during the summer. On October I a Joint Procure¬ ment Board composed of six of¬ ficers of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps addressed a volun¬ tary assembly of several hundred Tech men in Alden Memorial. Thirty-one members of the senior class already held probation¬ ary commissions in the U. S. Naval Reserve and another large group began applying for enlistment in the Army Air Corps. The first organization which students make contact with upon entering W. P. I. is the Student Christian Association. This unpublicized, energetic school group is com¬ posed of nine members, one from each fra¬ ternity and one from the city, and its very able supervisor, Paul Swan. Each member is placed in charge of a committee, and these committees function throughout the school year. The S. C. A. sponsors Freshman week so that the freshmen will really feel welcome and so that they may always have pleasant memories of their first days at Tech. A highlight in this week is Friday night, when the leaders of student organizations speak to the Freshmen. After the brief talks there are refreshments of cider, doughnuts and cheese. During the first week of school, the S. C. A. also presents every Tech man with a handbook and blotter. Each week throughout most of the year, a chapel period is held, with local notewor¬ thy speakers appearing. Despite the non- compulsory attendance, chapel period is well attended. During the last year, this organization sponsored an interesting, educational series of lectures by Dr. Magoon of M. I. T. It is hoped to continue this series bi-annually, for the benefit of Tech men. A book cam- Conducts chapel” Sponsors Tech Carnival” 28 STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSN. Back row: G. Fairhurst, C. Davis, G.

Holbrook paign was also promoted, with a large num¬ ber of technical books being collected for men in the armed forces. Annual duties of this group are the main¬ tenance of the Common Room in the dorm, subscription to a dozen popular magazines for leisure reading, supervision of the game room, obtaining board and room for Tech students, and small loans to the needy. The membership in the S. C. A. is com¬ posed of students who pledge during their freshman year. Almost all Tech students are members of this organization. In the fall, the Tech Carnival is present¬ ed; this year it consisted of plays given by the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors and Seniors. Since the faculty is extraordinarily busy, their play was regretfully omitted this year. A cup is given to the class which pre¬ sents the best p lay in the opinion of the judges and this year the Sophomores received the award. Tech Carnival night is con¬ cluded with dancing in the dormitory. About this time, the seniors (reversing the usual procedure) started interviewing personnel men representing the large, well-known companies. In November, Tech lost the ser- 29 Pre-flight trainees No tick.ee—no gassee vices of Coach Bob Pritchard to Uncle Sam.

Any sacri¬ fice is worth while if the book has no re¬ semblance to any previous edition. This year we have deviated from this un¬ written law of our predecessors. The better features of former books have been retained and added to our own innovations to pro¬ duce another progressive Peddler. The in¬ formal pictures of each senior and the semi¬ narrative style in the organizations section are tried and proven features. The colored story in the organizations section is an at¬ tempt to put on record a story of the epoch period 1942 -43. Time is a precious quantity, especially at Worcester Tech, and no doubt every year book staff has felt that the time allotted for preparing their book was very limited. This year, because of the accelerated schedule, the book had to be ready six months ahead of the usual time. Therefore if this Peddler fails to meet your approval in any respect, remember that the editors did the very best Big business Sunday A.M. 30 Back row: J. Pearce, D. Brown, M. Bartlett, G. Hill, T.

The early press date makes it possible to record only the beginnings of the basketball and swimming seasons; the spring sports will have to be covered by next year’s publica¬ tion. However, we are able to present the 1942 spring sports for the first time in a volume of the Peddler. The editors desire to thank the following for the help and cooperation which was so essential in the publication of this book: Prof. Albert Schwieger, faculty advisor; Miss Dorothy Cooper and Mr. Milton Fitch of Howard-Wesson Co.; Mr. Neil Heffer- nan of the Heffernan Press; the Bushong Studio; the staff of the Alumni Office and Miss Rugg and her staff; and the members of the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman staffs. ternity Ball that evening came under the heading of emergencies. A fuel oil shortage was made more acute by one of the coldest,, sustained freezing spells in Worc¬ ester’s history. When the tempera¬ ture reached 20 below zero, many shivering seniors looked at their large accumulation of text books wondering how many B. T.

The Christinas vacation finally arrived. The holiday traffic was terrific; trains were crowded with people who, in normal times, would have used automobiles for transportation; service men on furlough for the holidays also made up a large percentage of this u nusual traffic. On December 27 a radio broad¬ cast by Elmer Davis, director of War Information and Food Ad¬ ministrator Claude R. Wickard, announced the plan to ration two hundred kinds of food by the point system, starting in February. The seniors returned to college on December 30 for their final tussle with the text hooks. After Commencement on Febru¬ ary 11, the recently announced plan for an accelerated schedule will go into effect. The Institute will operate on a three-term year basis resulting in an over-all course of two and one-half years. Thus we come to the end of the narrative—“A War Year at W.P.I.” It may he only the prologue of a long story that must be written later; it may he nearly complete as it is. Time will tell. The Tech News Association was organ¬ ized in 1910, and is an outgrowth of the old W. P. I. Weekly. It has been in the past, and is now, the policy of the News to report the weekly social events, athletic contests, club and class functions to the students, faculty and interested alumni of Tech. It has attempted to keep pace with the times, especially insofar as present war conditions would allow, in presenting a true picture of the part that Worcester Tech has played and is playing in aiding the war effort. The editorial and business staffs of this organization have worked ardently to give W. P. I. a student publication of which it can well be proud. Unbiased student opin¬ ion was frequently expressed in the News feature column entitled, Letters to the Editor.” The editorial columns have tried to present merited praise and helpful criticism of college affairs in an attempt to influence Another issue on the -way 32 Back row: E.

In order to acquaint the students with campus activities of other American colleges and universities, each issue of the News included a rotogravure section pub¬ lished by th e.Collegiate Digest This added feature has been very popular with the stu¬ dent body, the chief point of interest being the co-ed snaps which highlight the pages. The Tech News is a member of both the Intercollegiate Press and the Associated Col¬ legiate Press, which are news agencies com¬ posed of the leading college newspapers in the country. Merit ratings, helpful criti¬ cisms and feature articles are services sup¬ plied by these agencies. Unsettled world conditions have upset many of the organizations on the Hill. In spite of accelerated schedules and increased demands, the Tech News staffs have worked ceaselessly, in their own quiet and unnoticed way, to give Tech a good college weekly. weekly student publication” 33 MASQUE Back row: C. Holden, E. Swanson, R. Russell, J. Durkee, G. Gregory, J. Fleming Front row: I. Gerber, L. Davis, J. Donahue, D. Fields, C. Cannon, H. Sheldon The Masque is Worcester Tech’s associa¬ tion for the expression of dramatic talent. This year the annual play was presented on the Saturday afternoon of the Interfrater¬ nity Ball weekend. The Masque was organ¬ ized in 1911 for the purpose of producing original plays; however, in recent years the Averill and Don trend of the association has been to present former Broadway successes. The nineteen-forty-two production was the popular three-act comedy Mr. and Mrs. North” by Mr. Owen Davis. The play was very successfully produced at the Belasco Theatre in New York by Alfred de Liagre, Jr. In the Masque’s version, the part of Mrs. North was ably taken by Aileen MacPhee, while that of Mr. North was played by James I. Donahue. Nimble-witted Mrs. North proves herself the best detective on the murder scene, as well as a loquacious, light-hearted wife. A devoted husband, Mr. North’s primary concern in life is his wife’s extraordinary abili ty to get into difficult situations. The presentation this year lived up to the high standard set by previous productions. Much of the success of the Masque’s plays can be attributed to the very capable direc¬ tor, Mr. Charles P. Rugg. 34 BAND Back row: S. Carney, A. Pearlman, L. Lidofsky, W. Conlin, R. Baharian, R. Merrill, C. Bosenhard, L. Nutting, K. Berggren, F. Levitsky, R. Allen, C. Richardson, J. McLay, L. Lentell, W.

Clarke Each year the Tech Band makes its first appearance at the opening assembly of the year and for the rest of the year entertains at all assemblies and at outstanding social events. One of the first major appearances the band makes is at the Tech Carnival. Here, they play some popular classics with march¬ es to variegate the program. Perhaps the most outstanding appearance of the band is at the Spring Concert. Dur¬ ing this occasion, the band gives more than one rendition. The pieces played are cele¬ brated classics and semi-classics. There are regular appearances of the band at all the home football and basketball games. One of the achievements of the band under the able direction of Conductor Wil¬ liam F. Lynch is stopping almost immediate¬ ly at the signal of the timekeepers. At the football games, the band is led by a group of drum majorettes under the supervision of Miss May I. Jacobson from Worcester. The officers of the band are president and student conductor, Carle Highberg; man¬ ager, Stuart Kearney; vice president, Jim Pearce; secretary, Roy Baharian; assistant student conductor, Malcom Hunt. Majorettes DEBATING CLUB The Debating Society was organized for the purpose of providing opportunities for public speaking to all interested Tech men. It was founded by a group of students who realized the need for practice in this non- scientific activity . . . another extra requisite which helps to make up the successful engi¬ neer. The club held its first meeting in 193 8 under the guidance of Professor Swan. This year the position of faculty advisor was capably filled by Professor Claude K. Scheifley of the Department of Modern Languages and History. Officers of the soci¬ ety were: President, Bruce Hainsworth; Secretary, Joseph Carrabino; a nd General Manager, Einar Eriksen. Edward Swanson was appointed temporary Freshman Man¬ ager. The first meeting of the year was held on October 13 in the Janet Earle Room. The feature of this meeting was an inter-club discussion on Post-War Peace”, led by George Uihlein and Frank Stableford. Both Prof. C. Schiefley, F. Kierstead, B. Hainsworth, E. Swanson, E. Eriksen, R. Brown, G. Uihlein, W. Grogan, S. Wetherhead. speakers spoke on the political significance of the Atlantic Charter, and also its bearing on post-war peace. Like all other college activities, the De¬ bating Society had transportation difficulties which limited the calendar of debates. In¬ vitations for debates were written to Clark, M. I. T., Bates, Holy Cross, Worcester State Teachers, and Rensselaer. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB n ' -, ■L ' r «p •. .-kyy 4 nfl jjyr ■ V • I . M rvi f s A Back row: A Pingalore, G. Laric, J. Fraser, P. Bloch, P.

Offering a broadening influence in a highly specialized college, the Cosmopolitan Club is a pleasing feature of Tech’s system of social organizations. Founded to promote good will and better understanding among the students of foreign birth at the Institute, the club has been forced to give up its singu¬ lar purpose because of the scarcity of for¬ eigners enrolled at Tech. Now, with a varied program of lecture, it offers features which have proven attractive to many stu¬ dents around the campus. Even though it has few foreign-born stu¬ dents on its roster, the club’s initial purpose is still observed, that of acquainting every¬ one present with the beauties and a knowl¬ edge of foreign lands. This year, the talks 38 of Europe in days gone by have been promi¬ nent and well received by the members. The conditions existing this year empha¬ size the value of such a club. Living in comparative safety, we do not wish to lose the old-time beauty of countries which now present an awesome picture. Over their re¬ freshments and in a jovial group, the mem¬ bers have heard the never-to-be-forgotten stories of Germany related with all their gusto and robust appeal. NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club of Tech, a club of Catholic culture and Catholic action, is one of the many such clubs all over the country. Its purpose is to keep Catholic teachings before Catholic students in non-sectarian institutions of higher learning. The club meets monthly during the school year and talks by well known Catholic clergy and laymen are usually a feature of meetings. At the first meeting of the year, Rev. Daniel Cronin, chaplain of the club, took the floor and explained the purpose of Newman Clubs, and, since the following Sunday was Cardinal Newman Day, he re¬ lated the life and characteristics of the noted prelate. Each year the club holds a triduum in October, and also a Communion Breakfast in January, at which time some well-known speaker in the field of Catholic action is a guest. The annual club triduum was held this year on October 8, 9, and 10 at the Immaculate Conception Church. One big affair of the year is the annual Newman Club Dance which is held jointly with the young ladies of the Worcester State Teachers College Newman Club. This year, the dance was held at the W. S. T. C. and This year the faculty advisor was Profes¬ sor Claude Scheifley. A natural candidate, Professor Scheifley had had much experience along this line, being a member of similar societies in Worcester, and also having been with the club for several years. After the planned meetings the general policy of the club is to relax and partake of refreshments; in this recreation period there may be individual discussions and participa¬ tion in various types of indoor amusements. the large attendance of members of both clubs made it very successful. During this year the officers were: An¬ thony J. Yakutis, president; R. E. Fay, vice- president; J. D. Carrabino, secretary-treas¬ urer; F. P. Lucca, auditor. G. B. Hill, T. P. Landers, H. E. Sheldon, J. R. Fleming, A. A. Laverty, and G. V. Uihlein formed the board of directors. Each year, the club sends a delegate to the N ewman Club Convention in Boston. Last year, John Fleming was the delegate. Back row: A. Letourneau, J. Petrillo, W. Conlin, P. Gorman, F. Baginski, E. Massa, L. Hallisey Second row: W. Grogan, J. Clerkin, H. Matasik, W. Levitsky, H.

This year the Tech organiza¬ tion has combined with the Worcester Ski Club, which is one of the most active winter sports associations in the city. Under its president, Dayton Brown, the club holds regular monthly meetings, at which time interesting movies and talks about skiing are presented. During these regular meetings th e business and activities of the year are also planned, and with the promise of a good winter, many weekend trips to Mt. Wachusett are being looked forward to with pleasure. A member of the Intercollegiate Outing Clubs Association, the club is counting on having several meets with rival ski teams. Besides these contests, social affairs and out¬ ings will be held with Mt. Holyoke, Welles- CAMERA CLUB Back row: A. Pearlman, R. Ballard, D. Reed, F. Mueller, H. Durick, A. Talboys Front row: L.

Due to the increasing demands of college courses, and difficulty in traveling conditions, however, these activities are somewhat doubtful. In accord with the spirit of the times, the Camera Club has this year made the most momentous advancement in its long exist¬ ence. Always an active, progressive organ¬ ization at Tech since its inception in 1921, the club has, however, remained a purely local one up to the present. Now, the in¬ creased interest displayed by the members has resulted in an affiliation with the New England Council of Camera Clubs. Partici¬ pation in photographic salons, interclub meetings, timely bulletins on new develop¬ ments in the world of photography, and noted speakers on the subject are benefits to be derived by the club from this action. The first meeting in October included a 40 most informative lecture by Mr. Charles Wagner on Present Day Trends of Photog¬ raphy”. Made especially interesting by a display of the speaker’s own prize-winning shots, the talk provided incentive for the members to utilize the complete facilities available in the club’s darkroom to improve their own work. This year’s schedule of activities is again highlighted by that increasingly popular annual event, Model Night, and by a pro¬ gram of colored movies to be presented by a member. Also, in the near future, it is planned to exhibit any exceptional prints produced by the club in the Alden library for all to enjoy. During the year the club maintains a bul¬ letin board in Boynton Hall in order to give the members an opportunity to exhibit their Dark room work and create interest in the organization among the student body. NAUTICAL ASSOCIATION The Nautical Association began its activ¬ ities a few months ahead of schedule this year because of the interest of some of its members, who remained at school during the summer term. On July 4th Steve Porter and Jack Wholean piloted the Association’s Back row: C. Cooper, J. Wholean, R. Perry, R. Berggren, J. Breed, H. Bragdcn. Front row: L. Porter, G. Gregory, R. Foster, W.

This competition continued every Sunday throughout the summer, and when the sum¬ mer term ended they were leading the field by a comfortable margin. This fall the Association entered three meets against the toughest competition in New England. Listed among their competi¬ tors were such teams as Harvard, Dart¬ mouth, Holy Cross, Coast Guard Academy, Boston College, and M. I. T. Although they did not place among the leaders, they made a good showing, considering the relative size of the schools. As yet, the spring schedule has not been announced, but it will include most of the large intercollegiate meets in New England. The Association is looking forward to a good season, as none of its members will be lost by graduation, and there are several experienced skippers available from the Freshman ranks. 41 RADIO CLUB Back row: R.

Pearlman First row: W. Henry, W. Clapp, R. Allen, G. Lebourveau, Prof. Newell, V. Kohman This year marked the Radio Club’s thirty- second consecutive year of existence. The AERO CLUB membership of the club is made up of stu¬ dents from every department under the able faculty advisor, Professor Newell. All amateur radio operation has been sus¬ pended because of the state of war, and since this work had been the club’s primary in¬ terest, the activity was expected to be some¬ what limited this year. However, the mem¬ bers found new fields of endeavor. Interest this year centered about electronic projects with the members making up separate groups for work on chosen projects. At one meeting a discussion was held con¬ cerning the possibilities of wired wireless” as a means of intramural communications as a temporary substitute for radio short-wave communication. Officers for this year were: President, John Lebourveau; Vice-presi dent, George Hyde; and Secretary, William Clapp. Rich¬ ard Allen was chosen as Chief Operator. Back row: G. Williams, M. Quiejo, F.

At that time Professor Ken¬ neth Merriam was chosen as faculty advisor; he served in this capacity until last year when he entered the military service as a Major in the Army. Mr. Frank S. Finlayson, always an active member of the club, picked up the reins of leadership and competently filled the position of faculty advisor for the 1942-43 season. This year, because of the war, attention is focused on aviation and our Aero Club is one of the fastest growing organizations on the campus. It has expanded from a mem¬ bership of about fourteen men in 1940 to over thirty members in 1942 and now, in 1943, the organization has at least fifty active participants. The club has always endeavored to direct meetings that would be of interest to the average student, wheth¬ er he was a Mechanic, Electric, Civil, Chem¬ ist, or Chemical Engineer. At the first meeting of the year James Donahue, president of the club, introduced several student speakers who gave short talks on aeronautical subjects. Richard Whit¬ comb spoke about the wind tunnel, which is an important part of Tech’s Aero labora¬ tory; Everett Johnson’s subject was model airplanes; and John Bigelow explained the usage of the Link trainer, one of the lab’s proudest possessions. Only the club mem¬ bers and students of the Aero department are allowed to use this trainer on permission of the faculty advisor. The season of 1942-43 has found the club with a well developed schedule and with the largest membership in its history. SKEPTICAL CHYMISTS This year marks the twenty-sixth success¬ ful year for this society. The primary pur¬ pose of the Skeptical Chymists is to acquaint students with current advances and activi¬ ties in their field and to urge a reading of current literature. At each meeting students prepare discussions based on recent develop¬ ment s in chemistry. Faculty members and industrialists also deliver papers on current topics to the society. Before the war and the subsequent strict regulation of visitors to defense plants, the society conducted frequent inspection trips to give the students a true picture of how chemical industries operate. The organization chose for its patron Saint Robert Boyle, of the seventeenth cen¬ tury, to whom is credited the starting of philosophical reasoning and the discourage¬ ment of alchemical and medical ideas in re¬ gard to the subject of Chemistry. The Skeptical Chymists are affiliated with the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society. All students are privi¬ leged to attend the meetings of the larger organization. E. Lewis, E. Bennett, R. Dunn 43 A. I. CH. E. A. I. E. E. R. Brown, R. Smith, Dr. Wilson, R. Southworth, R. Twitchell Three years ago, students and faculty of the Chemical Engineering Department or¬ ganized a new club at Tech, the Chemical Engineering Society of Worcester Polytech¬ nic Institute. Last year this organization was recognized by the large national profes¬ sional association, and was accepted as a member in the American Institute of Chem¬ ical Engineers. As ted in its constitution, the main purpose of this club is to promote interest in the various branches of chemical engi¬ neering, and to introduce its members to the fine professional association to which they belong. In order to accomplish these aims, meetings are held once or twice every month. Well known engineers lecture, dem¬ onstrate, and show movies of the latest de¬ velopments in this field. In addition to the advantages of these discussions, members re¬ ceive a subscription to the Student Chapter Bulletin. Offering such an excellent chance for stu¬ dents to become acquainted with this na¬ tional professional organization and its ideals, the A. I. Ch. E. presents an oppor¬ tunity that no student interested in Chem¬ ical Engineering can afford to miss. The American Institute of Electrical En¬ gineers was formed to give men in the pro¬ fession an opportunity to keep contact with modern trends and with the work of their colleagues. The A.I.E.E. sponsors a student branch of their organization here at Tech. The purpose of this student chapter is to offer its members an opportunity to gain more than mere class room contact with the F. Mickiewicz, R. Boyce, W. Tunnicliffe, Prof. Siegfried electrical industry. The students are able to enter the professional life with a less limited background. With this purpose in mind the meetings are turned over to speakers, sometimes stu¬ dents, who enlarge on various phases of electrical engineering. Motion pictures are presented and, before the war, inspection trips also rounded out the program of the group. At the first meeting this year films were shown on The Inside of Arc Welding”; these films were in color and Johnny Magee, cartoon film character, illustrated what not to do when welding. Mr. Robert E. Pfief, Worcester represen¬ tative of the General Electric Company, gave a short talk beforehand to explain the picture. 44 CLASSES - ij —f CLASS HISTORIES SENIOR CLASS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS E. H. Peterson President H. A. Aubertin Vice-President HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1943 In the fall of 1939 when Worcester Poly¬ technic Institute resumed its college activi¬ ties, it found its campus inhabited by about 180 rather uncertain, somewhat bewildered lads who were to be henceforth referred to as the Class of 1943. Following the warm welcome by Tech’s new president, Wat Tyler Cluverius, we were acquainted with the campus activities at the annual S. C. A. reception. The re¬ ception we most vividly remember, how¬ ever, was the one following the S. C. A. reception. Institute pond was sure cold and Freshman Daze wet that evening and its water-line rose as many of us became suddenly aquatic. The annual rope pull resulted in a more formal introduction to the murky depths of Institute pond for the class of ’43 were the wetter of the 100 warriors. The air of hostility was suddenly filled with warm friendliness, as the fraternity rushing season commenced. We were wined and dined” for a whole week, which resulted in no sleep and no homework done, but well-lined stomachs. The fraternities succeeded in pledging up 108 of our num¬ bers. We lost the Goat’s Plead competition by a narrow margin, but varsity athletic teams were well decked with members of the class of ’43. Tech’s campus was being dressed with the building we now know as Alden Memorial. Alterations were also being made on the Salisbury Laboratories and in the Power House. Earle Bridge was constructed, thus connecting Boynton Hall with Alden Mem¬ orial. This was the final step in the building program. It was the class of ’43 which bore the brunt of the attack on the Institute’s new scholastic policies. We were acquainted 48 B. Messer, Jr. T reasurer H. M. Brautigam Secretary R. M. Beard Historian with the Physics department in our 2nd term which was heretofore unheard of at Tech. Also, the 3rd honor classification was discontinued. Thus we were branded as Tech’s guinea pigs from the very beginning. The C. A. A., in collaboration with Tech’s facilities, made flight training avail¬ able to interested students on their own time. Members of our class were hired by the score to guide the huge, inflated, rubber monsters in the first Worcester Christmas parade, sponsored by a local store. Dr. E. D. Wilson was made head of the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering De¬ partments. In March of 1940, the Institute mourned the death of Professor C. D. Knight of the Electrical Engineering De¬ partment. The annual Tech carnival was replaced by the Vember Varieties”. The Masque en¬ tertained us with their production The Torch Bearers”. The 1939-1940 athletic season, although not generally successful, was topped by the basketball team with 14 wins and 4 losses. The At Home Day” demonstration by all of the departments on the hill was the last big social event of the year, and was the last event of its kind, due to a change in the Institute policy. Our freshman year was topped off by a solid week of blue book battles” which took the measure of a few of our numbers. Upon our return to college in the fall of 1940, we found ourselves sophomores seek¬ ing wild revenge on the incoming freshmen for our treatment in that initial year. Our activities were carefully watched by the new campus cop who soon became the subject of much campus talk. Six and Seven- Eighths”, as he was known, sure looked and played the part. We made short work of the class of ’44 in the Rope Pull, completing the affair in less than three minutes. The remaining Goat’s Head competition was also very suc¬ cessful, and consequently, our class nu- Gas Talk 49 Roommates merals were engraved in that historical beast. The incoming freshmen were barred from varsity athletics by a Tech council ruling. In addition, it was decided that November 11th henceforth would be observed as Founders Day in honor of the Institute founders. Homecoming day found the alumni pres¬ ent at the dedication of Alden Memorial and at the ground breaking ceremony for the building of the Higgins Laboratory. Work was also begun on the addition to the chem¬ istry laboratory. Thus the campus was humming with carpenters’ saws and rattling with riveters’ rivets. The 1940 Tech carnival was the first pro¬ duction to be produced in the new audito¬ rium. The class of ’43 put on a sterling per¬ formance of Little Nell and the Mort¬ gage”, which rocked the audience into the aisles. Later in the year the Masque pre¬ sented Ceiling Zero”, and a bang-up excel¬ lent production resulted. The faculty pro¬ duction, The Sleeping Car”, was open to student attendance for the first time. Registration for the selective service made us realize for the first time the gravity of the international situation. Government- sponsored, night classes were started for men in defense industries. No reserve corps unit was formed, but faculty members with mil¬ itary backgrounds offered to serve as in¬ structors in the voluntary military training program. As juniors, we returned to be big broth¬ ers” to the incoming freshmen. We offi¬ ciated at the dry rope pull, which was neces¬ sitated by the lack of water in Institute pond. Hazing of the freshmen was reduced to a very mild form by the sophs”. Due to constant prodding by the class of ’43, the sophomores finally got around to making the freshmen toe the mark” and the old traditions of rivalry were not lost. Coach Ivan Pete” Bigler and staff were replaced by the new coaches, Paul Stagg and Robert Pritchard. Due to the freshman rule, the new coaches were severely handi¬ capped, and the resulting athletic season was not generally successful. December 7 changed the entire future outlook of the whole world. The Japs at¬ tacked Pearl Harbor and declared war on the United States. The senior class of ’42 was graduated early in May, due to the speed-up program, resulting from our participation in the war. We of the class of ’43 were informed that our senior year would begin July 20 and end Feb. 11 , 1943. This is the second time in the history of the college that a gradua¬ tion has been speeded up. Concentration 50 New equipment The Interfraternity Ball helped to relieve our minds as Hal McIntyre and his lads provided the musical setting for a glorious evening. The Junior Prom was combined with the Soph Hop and Senior Prom as one gala occasion. The Masque presented Through the Night” with marked success. Two members of the class of ’43 were pledged to Tau Beta Pi. We went into the final exams in 1942 looking forward to sum¬ mer classes and a winter graduation, and whatever changes the war was to bring about. After a short three weeks’ summer vaca¬ tion, we returned once again to the hill, this time as lordly seniors. ’43 was alone in at¬ tending classes during the summer period from July 20th to Sept. 23. The days were warm but they slipped by with uncanny speed and soon Tech was buzzing with ac¬ tivity with the return of the three lower classes in September. The war had made several changes in the Institute curriculum. Air raid precaution measures were taken around the campus with the fraternities assuming air raid war¬ den duties. A general dimout resulted in the Worcester area and the Boynton Tower illumination was discontinued, thus casting a dark shadow on Tech’s campus for the duration of the war. Several members of our class joined the naval reserves with probationary ensign’s commissions. Others became members of the army reserves. Interviewers came thick and fast and practically all of the class was either in the enlisted reserves or signed up for a job before the beginning of 1943. Twenty-two members of our class were pledged to Sigma Xi. Later on, in a special assembly nine members of the Junior class were tapped by Skull in their annual cere¬ monies; and nine seniors were pledged by Tau Beta Pi. It has been decreed that the accelerated program will graduate the freshmen in two and one-half years as engineers. We of the class of ’43, although more uncertain about our future than any other class that has graduated from Worcester Tech, look back upon a work well done. We deeply appreciate the many courtesies afforded us by the faculty and hope that we may some day repay them in some measure for their guidance in these troubled times. The opportunities and associations made possible by our Alma Mater are of immeas¬ urable value, and are regarded bv us as such. Whatever the future may hold for us we are determined to uphold her honor and to respect her teachings as the engineers she has made it possible for us to become. That rowboat problem 51 D.

Brown (Sec.-Treas.) CLASS OF 1944 As this college year officially opened, we, • the class of 1944, found ourselves as juniors, now with a standing as really adult college men, theoretically above all action in un¬ important contests such as the freshman- sophomore rivalry. In fact, we stood as the protectors and counselors of the frosh. However, during the first weeks of school, it was not uncommon to see the redcoats” on guard to see that class rivalry did not rise too high (or sink too low, either!). We were also in charge of the rope-pull and paddle rush. (After the rope-pull, Jim Donahue kept an armed guard with him whenever sophs” were near.) In the fact that the faculty members were too busy to give their customary skit for the Tech Carnival, the class of ’44 found a new outlet for its talent. A committee of juniors and seniors gave an unusual (to say the least) skit under the direction of our able Leon Rosenthal, ’44. What are we of the class of ’44 doing for the war effort? Many of the class are in the reserves of the armed forces, and others of the class, no longer with us, are now in active service. The class of 1944 will be the second class to be really affected by the new speed-up program of courses. Because of this, Skull, senior honorary society, and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, held pledg¬ ing at a special assembly on December 16, earlier than usual. Members of the class who were tapped by Skull were Sidney Stayman, Nicholas Econ¬ omou, Whitton Gibson, Clinton Hellig, Raymond Herzog, George Collins, Howard Swenson, Irving Donahue, William Stone, and Robert Twitched. These men from the class of ’44 were pledged to Tau Beta Pi: Philip Brown, Nicholas Economou, Whit¬ ton Gibson, Bruce Hainsworth, and Allan Harder. 84 JUNIOR CLASS LISTS Matthew John Achramowicz Worcester Electrical Engineering Sumner Norman Alperin Fitchburg Physics Gordon Cogswell Anderson Worcester Civil Engineering Herbert Asher Worcester Chemistry A.E.Pi Roy Essaye Baharian Worcester Mechanical Engineering Louis Joseph Baldini Shrewsbury Electrical Engineering Francis Leo Barry Worcester Electrical Engineering David Vernon Bassett Leominster Chemistry John Spencer Bateman Worcester Civil Engineering S.A.E.

Edgerly (Vice-president) CLASS OF 1945 The Class of 1945 returned to the Insti¬ tute with fewer men than usual for sopho¬ more classes. Perhaps this goes to show what superior fellows are we who are still here. Unlike previous sophomore classes, our class entered its second year at Tech when war was in the mind of everyone. Freshman hazing, usually so important a part of our class activity, reached a new low at the be¬ ginning of the term. (Probably because the new frosh hats were too conservative.) However, when the paddle rush was held, with George Kennedy as the brain”, our side, with its indomitable spirit, won from the frosh, 50-19; overconfident from this upset, we were dragged through Institute Pond, as the Rope Pull was again held in the traditional place. This year, for the first time in four years, the Sophomore team defeated the Freshmen. Varsity fullback, Hugo Norige, and Guy Nichols, triple threat of last year’s Freshman team, starred for the Sophs. The Freshman-Sophomore soccer game wound up in a tie, 1-1, even after a ten minute overtime period. Phil Tarr, Al Green, and Howie Dember played well for the Sophomores. When Tech Carnival time came, our class talent showed itself at its best. Easily taking the cup (since the judges could not decide where to pass the cutting plane” to divide it) our class rode on to greater victories, and some defeats. Among these were the results of the eternal struggle with home draft boards. Then came rushing—and many of us found that it was harder on sleep and studies to rush than to be rushed. Then came the Interfraternity Ball weekend, and we flocked to the Ball—realizing that it might be the last formal for the duration. Now we learn that when the seniors leave, our schedule will be accelerated to three semesters per year—but at least we may graduate. 89 SOPHO¬ MORE CLASS LISTS Richard Warren Allen Moorestown, N. J.

Holby (Historian) CLASS OF 1946 On Monday, September 28, we assembled for the first time, as the Class of 1946. During Freshman Orientation Week which followed we were acquainted with the ac¬ tivities and men of Tech. Less formal ac¬ quaintances were made during the tradi¬ tional hazing which followed. Still agog at the wonders of our new campus, we were barely edged out of victory in the Paddle Rush (by a score of 50-19). This defeat jarred us into really concentrat¬ ing on the Rope Pull which we won in the very good time of four minutes. A powerful Freshman team emphatically won the interclass track meet by a score of 97-20. Al DeLoid, freshman, was individual high scorer with a total of 20 points. Versoy and Ross, both of ’46, tied for second honors, each scoring a total of 16 points. CLASSIFIED FRESHMEN William Minot Clapp Middleton Bradford Frank Dunbar Worcester Arthur Guy, Jr. Worcester Louis Joseph Hallisey Worcester On November 14 the Freshman-Sopho¬ more soccer game ended in an unbreakable tie, 1-1. Dave Flail scored the Freshman goal. During the same day, the Soph foot¬ ball team was able to squeeze out a hard- earned victory from the Frosh, 12-6; the first year men were well on the way to tieing up the game when the final gun went off. No one knew, until the Tech Carnival was presented, what pretty girls” there were in the Freshman Class; due to some complicated descriptive geometry our act, Poly Was a Lady,” took second place in this phase of the Freshman-Sophomore rivalry. Interclass competition was laid aside for a while when fraternity rushing started. When the smoke had cleared away we found that 131 members of the Class of ’46 had been pledged to the various houses on the Hill. Philip Bushnell Jones Waitsfield, Vt.

McNamara, H. Swenson, W. Matzelevich, Prof. Higginbottom Front row: Prof. Carpenter, N. Economou, R. Seaton, Prof. Knight The Athletic Council is the governing body which has general charge of athletics at the Institute. Its fine work is responsible for our wide athletic program which puts teams on the field on all major and most New captains and guest speaker minor sports. It is no small task to organize, equip, manage, and arrange schedules in every sport but the Council has always suc¬ ceeded in doing an excellent job. The Council is designed to give the stu¬ dents a voice in the athletic policy of the Institute. Every year four student members from the three upper classes are elected to the Council by the student body. One more student member is appointed by the Presi¬ dent of the Institute. The rest of the Coun¬ cil is made up of two faculty members, two alumni members, and the head of the Ath¬ letic Department, who acts as chairman. In case of vacancy among the student mem¬ bers the remaining members choose a repre¬ sentative to serve until a new member can be elected in the usual manner. The Council holds regular meetings dur¬ ing the year. At these meetings, matters pertaining to policy and program are dis¬ cussed, the names of those to whom letters 100 shall be awarded are approved and mana¬ gerial staffs for each sport are elected for the following season. At its Fall meeting this year the Council approved a new rule regarding participation in Interclass athletics. The new rule stated that a student must take part in Interclass contests with the class with which he enters college. In case a student is absent one or more semesters he must take part in Inter¬ class contests with the class in which he re-enters college. No student may partici¬ pate in Interclass athletics more than four years. A highly successful Fall Sports Banquet was held by the Council on December 16. There were several guest speakers including Coach Lamarre, assistant coach at Harvard. In his speech Coach Lamarre stated that he believed athletics are a necessity during war time. He summarized an entertaining talk by enumerating several principles in war¬ fare which are also essential in athletics. On November 27, Professor P. C. Car¬ penter represented Worcester Tech at an Jim and Ed all day conference of the Association of New England Colleges on Athletics. The guest speaker at the conference was Captain Lester Ayers, officer in charge of the New England area of Recreation and Athletics for the Enlisted Man”. In his talk, Captain Ayers stated that the Army authorities wanted the colleges to continue their Inter¬ collegiate Athletics as much as possible.

Matzelevich, D. Buser, R. Montgomery, E. Peterson, N. Economou, R. Herzog, A. Fyler, H. Norige In so far as team records go, this year’s Football Team showed immense improve¬ ment over that of the previous season. The record for the 1942 season is no wins in six games, but there was no whitewashing this year. Tech scored in every game except the opener against Coast Guard. The Staggmen were up against more experienced teams in every game and the first two games were with teams who already had one or two games under their belts. Although we lost four lettermen by grad¬ uation Coach Stagg expected at least eleven varsity lettermen to return this last fall. With the opening of school only five letter- men turned up with suits on. Jack Fleming and Bert Marsh were out due to injuries re¬ ceived in a previous season, George Vogel and Bob Hankel had joined the Air Corps, and Bob Seaton and Bud Aubertin did not report. Don Buser, Nick Economou, Ray Herzog, Ed Peterson, and Bob Montgomery were lettermen who were topnotchers this season. It was fortunate that, due to the war, the Freshman Rule was suspended, for freshmen like Marvin, Meldon, Borg, and Schmit added much to the team’s effectiveness. Several Sophomores who also did well were Matty Matzelevich, Bob Scott, Andy Fyler, Hugo Norige, and Phil Sheridan. One thing the team showed this year was more fight and as a result Coach Stagg’s charges gained quite a bit of ground, but in 102 f each game there seemed to be a third period letdown. There were turning points of in¬ tercepted passes, blocked kicks and the like, which took the winning edge off of our team. The Tech men again faced a tough opener against Coast Guard Academy on Alumni Field, losing by a score of 40 to 0. Dorsey of the Guardsmen passed and ran all over the field while Hugo Norige, piledriving Tech fullback, gained much yardage. Tech then journeyed to Northfield, Ver¬ mont, to oppose a powerful Norwich U. eleven. The Staggmen were supposed to have been overwhelmed but our boys fought on even terms for the first two periods, Norige having run the opening kick-off 90 yards for a score. Nevertheless the superior reserves of Norwich wore down our men and Domina of Norwich romped in the second half. The final score Norwich 44, W. P. I., 6. The Homecoming Day crowd at Alumni Field saw Tech drop their third game 27 to 6. With a new Freshman backfield star, Charlie Schmit, triple threat, along with Hugo Norige, Tech outplayed Trinity for Back to work more than half the game. A blocked kick on Tech’s twenty in the third period turned the tide. The team then traveled to Kingston, R. I., and suffered a 66 to 13 setback at the hands of a strong Rhode Island State com¬ bine. In the final game of the season it looked as if Worcester Tech would pull a repeat performance of its 1940 victory over R. P. I. Worcester scored in the opening minutes of play after Bob Scott blocked a Rensselaer punt. In the second quarter, a safety result¬ ed in two more points for our side; R. P. I. scored a touchdown in this period making the score at the half 9-6, with Worcester leading. In the third quarter W. P. I. com¬ pleted a long march with a touchdown and really got out in front: 15-6. In the final quarter Rensselaer began to roll. They marched down the field and scored with a 12 yard pass over the goal. Then, starting from their own 40-yard marker, they began another parade which was culminated in an 8-yard touchdown pass. Final score: Rensselaer 19, Worcester 15. Through the middle 103 SOCCER C. Handforth, E. Campbell, Managers; Coach Higginbottom Back row: H. Dember, E. Lagerholm, A. Green, W. Fitzer, W. Willard, R.

Hellig The Tech soccer team took the field early in the fall, the strongest team in New Eng¬ land by repute, and the hooters finished the season tallying five wins against three losses. In only one game was this team evenly matched. Rensselaer, Tech’s age-old rivals, put a team on the field which at some times outplayed the Tech men, but never out¬ fought them, to win 1-0. Under the leadership of Capt. Glenn Hill, Tech’s powerful fullback, the team met the Coast Guard Academy players in the open¬ ing game of the season. Even though the Coast Guardsmen were considered a strong team, the Tech men outplayed them to the tune of 3-2. Overconfident because of their win over Coast Guard, the Tech men were swamped by powerful Trinity. Confronted by a Trinity goal early in the game, the Engineers fought hard to regain their organization but failed, as the boys from Hartford pounded home two more goals and won easily. The following week it was a wary team that faced the highly-touted Brownians as the whistle blew for the game to start. Tak¬ ing command of the play at the start, Tech’s soccer players controlled the course of action until the very end. But, lacking in scoring punch, they were only able to score one goal and were beaten 2-1. Tufts was the next team to fall victim to the superior play of the Tech team. As the game progressed, the Engineers booted home three goals while Arnie Jones, Tech goalie, frustrated every attempt by Tufts except one to score. Similarly, Clark and the Fitchburg State Teachers suffered defeats at the hands of the Tech men. 104 Boot it, ’Arry The game with Connecticut University was the thriller of the season. The losers until Max Crackenburger tied the score for Tech, the Engineers took possession of the ball until the team managed to score again just as the whistle blew and the game ended. Tech emerged the victor with a score of three goals to Connecticut’s two. FROSH SOCCER Hampered by a decided lack of experi¬ enced players, the freshman soccer team had a fairly good season. Out of their six sched¬ uled games, they lost three, won two, and tied one. Sparked by Dave Hall, who drove home the three goals by which they downed Wor¬ cester Academy in two games, the freshmen fought every game with indomitable spirit. They lost their first three games because the game was new to the majority of them; and another explanation for the losses early in the season was that the team lacked scoring punch in the front line. In spite of the smashing play of center halfback Jack Brown, there was no coordination between ' the halfback and forward lines. This defect in their teamwork was recti¬ fied, however, before the Sophomore-Fresh¬ man game and they were able to hold the soph-star Baginski and his team down to a 1-1 tie. Back row: D.

Laffey Front row: H. Swenson, A. Jones, W. Stone, R. Twitchell, A. Stowe, C. Simon As this issu e of The Peddler goes to press, the Tech hoopsters are found to have three wins chalked up to their credit. Bates, Brown and Boston University have fallen in quick sucession to give the Techmen a basis for an undefeated season. The men from Lewiston were riding the crest of a two game winning streak when they hit the Hilltoppers. The two teams matched shot for shot the first half, and the start of the second half showed us with a 22-20 advantage. Swenson, Twitchell, Stone and Dick Little” Jones then let loose with a withering eight minutes of play that left the Maine men trailing by a score of 43-23. Both teams came through with a steady last quarter, and the final count showed the Tech cagers to be on the big end of the 54-33 score. Worcester then traveled to Providence to meet the Brown Bears at Marvel gymna¬ sium. In the first moments of play, Brown barged ahead and the score was soon 10-3. Capt. Bill Stone then began an attack which became a scoring spree, and in short order the team had scored seventeen points to the opposition’s six, leaving the Worcester men in possession of the lead. Then, due to spotty opposition and the eagle-eye foul shooting of the team, the Techmen kept the lead until the final gun; they left the floor with the score set at 49-45. A highly touted B. U. team came to Alumni gymnasium with sincere expecta¬ tions of taking over the W. P. I. underdogs. The game was the climax of the Interfra¬ ternity Week-end, and the excitement of the crowded gym was held at fever pitch throughout the whole rough and tumble game. Arnold Big” Jones and freshman 106 Charlie Schmidt proved to be the big guns in the first half, and with the help of Twitchell, Stone and Swenson, the half end¬ ed with Tech leading their opponents by a slight margin. The Hilltopper’s offense bogged down in the beginning of the second half, and the boys from B. U. took advan¬ tage of the situation by running up an eight point lead. This advantage was held until the last five minutes of the final quarter, when Stone pumped in four floor shots from quarter count to make the score 46-48. Then, with the gun raised for the end of the game, Capt. Stone kept the team in the running by swishing a shot from far mid¬ court. The gun went off with the score 48 all. The overtime period started with Big” Jones dropping one in, quickly followed by another. Stone put in the clincher against the two goals scored by the opposition, and the final gun showed Tech the victor by a 54-52 count. It is seen that Coach Stagg has an excel¬ lent team, and with conditions pointing to¬ ward no more basketball for the duration, Howie sinks one let’s hope that the hoopsters will be able to finish the season with a fine record.

Holden, C. Peterson, R. Lotz, Coach Grant, S. Coes, A. Mandelin, H. Sandberg Front rote: P. Kempf, G. Kennedy, R. Russell, G. Gregory, G. Sargent, R. Perry The swimming team is entering its 1942- 43 season with some handicaps. Graduation has taken some of the best performers of last year’s team—Paige, Jackson, and Ship- pee. This year we find Dick Russell, Coes, Sandberg, Kennedy, and Petersen taking the places of last year’s stars. They will be assisted by such strong swimmers as Mande¬ lin, Sargent, Lotz, Willard, Kempf, Holden, and Gregory. Due to a new ruling for the duration, the frosh will be allowed to swim with the varsity and, since there are some very good swimmers among the yearlings, this help will be considerable. As in former years, the team is tackling a very tough schedule. They will pit them¬ selves against the finest swimming teams in New England when they meet such schools as Mass. State, Amherst, Coast Guard Acad¬ emy, and Williams. The first meet of the season was lost to a strong Rensselaer team by a score of 15-19. Perhaps the only bright spot in this defeat was the winning of the 300 yard medley re¬ lay by Messrs. Metzger, Russell, and Sand¬ berg. They covered the course in near¬ record time and Coach Grant is hoping that before the season is over this combination will lower the present pool record for the medley relay race. The Tech mermen lost their second meet, with Mass. State, by a score of 57-18. The feature of this contest was the breaking of two New England Intercollegiate records by Bud Hall, ace Mass. State free-styler. He first set a new record of 29.2 seconds for the 60 yard free-style and returned later in the 100 yard event to set another record of 52.4 seconds. The only Tech man to score a first was Captain Dick Russell, who won the 220 yard breaststroke event. 108 Backstroke The time that the team spends every afternoon in the pool is indicative of their fine spirit and all the evidence points to much better scores throughout the season. Our team certainly has the ambition and the ability to make them so. FROSH SWIMMING The purpose of the freshman swimming team has always been to unearth new talent and to furnish a means by which the new men can gain experience needed for varsity competition. Even though some of this year’s crop will enter meets with the varsity because of the new ruling on freshmen during the emer¬ gency, this policy will still hold. Coach Grant has arranged meets with Worcester Academy, the M. I. T. frosh, and the Boys’ Club. These races should provide plenty of competition. The boys will also have a chance to try their powers on the sophomores in the interclass meet. The work of Metzger, Laric, and Olsen is particularly good at the start of the season and they are backed up by a promising group composed of Marvin, Holby, Barnet, R. Chase, Loo, Hall, and Ferguson. These boys are also displaying a capacity for hard work, and if spirit means anything a successful season is unavoidable. Back row: F. Holby, E. Barnett, Coach Grant, R. Olson, R. Chase Front row: R.

Sanderson, B. Hinman, R. Matthews, T. Landers, Capt. F. McNamara, FI. Aubertin, W. Stone, G. Nichols, W. Wheeler, Manager The 1942 baseball season was not a suc¬ cessful one; the team came out victorious in one of the seven games. However, they showed the fighting spirit and good sports¬ manship that is characteristic of Tech teams. The season opened at Alumni field against a strong Trinity nine. Trinity jumped to a three run lead in the first inning which they never relinquished as they went on to win, 18-6. Highlight of the Tech attack was McNamara’s four run homer in the eighth. The second game was played against A. I. C. at Springfield. The opponent’s power was too much for Tech and they lost 16-2. Capt. McNamara had two of Tech’s four hits. Clark was the next opponent. Tech scored three runs in the second, but Clark rallied and scored three runs to tie the score. In the seventh, Lipovsky doubled for Tech, took third on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Gibson. Another run was added in the eighth to give Paul Kokulis a well earned victory. The next game at Amherst, against Mass. State, was a nightmare as Tech lost, 14-0, in seven innings. Only two hits were col¬ lected off Herb Gross of Mass. State. The second game with Clark saw the home team defeat Tech, 5-0, Tech’s second straight whitewashing. Gudzinowicz was complete master of the situation giving Tech only five hits. Rhode Island edged out Tech, 5-2, in a close pitching duel between Kokulis of Tech and Conti. Gibson and Kokulis led the Tech attack with two hits apiece. W. P. I. closed its season by losing to the strong Northeastern aggregation, 11-2. Ray Matthews pitched a nice game against one of the strongest teams in New England. Nichols paced the Tech hitters with three hits. 110 TENNIS Last year’s tennis team was the first to represent Tech on the new Boynton Hill courts. Captained by Ed Peterson and tutored by Coach Stagg, the team made a record of two wins and five losses. The record is unimpressive, but does not show the true strength of the team. Most of the matches were very close, with the final out¬ come depending upon the doubles. To summarize, matches were lost to Trinity, Rhode Island State, Tufts, Coast Guard Academy, and Springfield. The two wins were scored over M. I. T. and Clark. The personnel of the team included Cap¬ tain Ed Peterson, Phil Brown, Lee Cordier, George Kennedy, Bud Dember, Tom Cross- ley, and Stew Dalzell. Playing in number one spot, George Kennedy, a freshman, fin¬ ished the season with four wins and two losses. Captain Peterson played number two man, and was a constant threat with his well balanced court-covering game. Along with Tom Crossley, he will be lost to this year’s team due to early graduation. Their absence will be felt greatly by the team in this year’s campaign. Due to lack of transportation, the team may be forced to play an abbreviated schedule. If at all possible, they will meet the same teams as last year. At the present it has been reported that a few of the schools are discontinuing all sports for the duration. The co-captains-elect for the coming sea¬ son are Phil Brown and Lee Cordier. Both men have been varsity lettermen for two years. Because of their experience and abil¬ ity, this year’s team should be one of the strongest to represent Tech in many years. They will be supported by lettermen George Kennedy and Bud Dember. The remainder of the team will probably be from the Freshman ranks, where several likely pros¬ pects have made themselves known in the Freshman tournament. Back row: R. Maass, H. Dember, L.

Norige One of the highlights of the 1942 season was the final outdoor meet, held with Boston University at Nickerson field. Tech’s team showed its balance and power when they walked off with everything but the fence that goes around the place. The final score was 94 to 41; the Engineers captured eleven first places and tied for two others. B. U. was able to win only the hammer throw and the two mile run. Sid Stayman was one of the two triple winners for Tech, coming home first in the 100, 200, and 440. Hugo Norige also cap¬ tured three firsts, the discus, shotput and javelin throw. Lou Hallisey counted for two more firsts with wins in the half mile and mile runs. Tech made a clean sweep of the broad jump; Lee Larnsworth, Lrank Baginski, and Steve Porter finishing in that order. Track for the coming season is practically an unknown quantity, as a result of the limited transportation facilities available. However, we are making preparations for triangular meets with Mass. State and Tufts, and with Amherst and Springfield, besides a dual meet with Mass. State. Prospects in most track events are very encouraging. The relay team should be par¬ ticularly strong, having those superspeed¬ sters, Stayman and Messer, as a nucleus upon which to build. A freshman, Ross, and Sherman, last year’s substitute, now appear likely to round out the first string team. New men being developed for pole vault¬ ing, broad jumping, hurdling, and high jumping are showing much promise, and in the weight throwing department, profi¬ ciency is assured by such proven stars as Norige, Matzelevitch, and Borg. In past seasons, Tech’s handicap has been a lack of balanced power; this weakness is not present in the 1942-43 team and a good record is indicated. 112 CROSS COUNTRY Although the team had some fast harriers, a lacking in balanced team strength allowed Worcester Tech’s harriers to win only one of the five meets this year. The race with Boston University was canceled. In the first contest with the Coast Guard Academy the team discovered a new star, Lou Hallisey, who romped over the three and a half mile course in 20 minutes and 5 5 seconds. Lou’s first place, 21 seconds ahead of Grossjean of the Guardsmen, helped to compensate for the first defeat, 21-37. On the following week the team traveled to Storrs, Conn., to take on the University of Conn, and although Sophomore Hallisey again captured first place, the Engineer team was outclassed by a score of 22-3 3. In the meet with Springfield College, Crane of the visitors broke the Bancroft- Newton Hill course record established last year by Ken Hunt, ’42. T he new record: 19 minutes and 50 seconds. Five more Springfield men crossed the finish mark in a second place tie before Cliff Kinne of Tech finished. Three of Worcester’s runners, Hallisey, Mai Hunt, and Gordie Sherman, were on the injured list and did not compete in this race. The meet next week at Amherst our team pounded out a 27-29 victory over the Mass. State hill-and-dalers. Lou Hallisey captured a first, Cliff Kinne ran his best race of the season to finish in third place only a few yards behind the leaders, and Alan Gault and Dave Brown followed in fifth and sev¬ enth places respectively. In the last meet of the season, the Engi¬ neer’s new course record was again equaled. Davis of the Rensselaer harriers turned in an excellent race and covered the course in 19 minutes and 50 seconds. The Worcester team was defeated by a score of 2314 to 3214 in this race. Coach Johnstone, L. Gray, G. Sherman, M. Hunt, D. Brown, C. Kinne, It. Dyer, L. Hallisey, F.

Hellig Worcester Tech’s 1942 Golf Team, al¬ though managing to gain but one tie in five matches, can boast that all of the individual matches were closely contested. Due to the early graduation the team lost two veterans, Here it goes —I hope” Ken Hunt and Vic Thulin, and started its season with only two experienced perform¬ ers, Jack Durkee and Clipper Hellig, along with five freshmen, Ed Berndt, Jim Clerkin, Bert Mills, Bob Duffy and Marty Flink. Fortunately, the Freshman rule which had been formulated early in 1942 was soon re¬ voked, and our Freshmen were able to play an important part in Worcester Tech’s 1942 Golf season. For its opener, the team traveled to South Hadley to meet a very good Amherst team and were defeated. Playing the second en¬ counter at Worcester Country Club, the golfers were edged out by Boston College 3 z to 2 2- Again playing on their home course they deadlocked with Boston Univer¬ sity 3 to 3. The next match, played at Brown ended in a defeat and the team closed its season by losing to a very good M. I. T. aggregation. The five men receiving letters were Durkee, Hellig, Berndt, Mills and Clerkin. 114 RIFLE TEAM Back row: F. Yih, J. Longworth, J. McMaster, H. Hoyt, R. Ure, S. Wetherhead, A. Farnsworth, W.

Last season was the team’s fourth year in the New England College Rifle League and they shot against some of the best Eastern College Rifle Teams. Although their record is not im¬ pressive, most of the matches were very close and the high scores show that their shooting was of a high caliber. The five men receiving letters were Clark, Rogerson, Parker, Fondahl and Merriam.

The sport of rowing was organized last spring for the first time in the history of the Institute and although the crews are not officially sanctioned by the college, the name Str-r-roke of Tech was carried first across the finish line in more than one race. Tech men be¬ came quickly acquainted with the eights, fours, singles and wherries and the talk around the campus changed from math and physics to riggers and shells during the row¬ ing season. The Boating for Tech was as follows: first crew—Baldini (bow), Laverty (2), Dimi- troff (3), Weber (4), Brown (3), Neuman (6),Lindroos (7), Donahue (stroke). Sec¬ ond crew—Rice (bow), Howard (2), Cross (3), Blodgett (4), Alperin (5), Ericsen (6), Gwiazdowski (7),Robertson (stroke), Coxswains, Woodbury and Lewis. At the close of the rowing season, Tech’s time was improving rapidly and the pros¬ pects for the coming year are brighter than ever. An attractive schedule is being planned and rowing seems to have set itself as a permanent sport at Worcester Tech. 116 CHEERLEADERS J. Hegeman, W. Williams, F. Kierstead, H. Sheldon, E. Page, E. Lipovsky This year finds the cheerleading squad operating as a definite organization. Under a new set of rules, it is now supervised by the Tech Council in cooperation with the Athletic Council. There is a Senior squad of three members, a Junior squad of five members, and an unlimited Sophomore squad. The five Jun¬ ior members are elected each year by the Tech Council upon recommendation of the retiring Senior members. Two Senior mem¬ bers and the Captain-Manager are elected by the entire squad. This position of Cap¬ tain-Manager was held by Ed Lipovsky in the 1942-43 season. The Senior squad goes on all football and basketball trips; at the end of the season this squad receives sweaters in reward for their services. At home games, the cheerleading is done by the three Senior members, two Junior members, and one Sophomore. Letters are awarded to the Junior squad. The new rules also provide that a special uniform of white sweater, white shirt, and maroon trousers shall be worn by the cheer¬ leaders. Practice sessions are held at least once a week during the football and basket¬ ball seasons. Boom! Rah! Team! 117 FRATE RNITIES INTERFRAT COUNCIL SKULL TAU BETA PI SIGMA XI GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL Back row: I. Gerber, A. Keith, L. Rice, E. Lipovsky, J. Pearce Trout row: H. Brautigan, R. Bonnet, Prof. Gay, R. Painter, B. Messer The Interfraternity Council is, in effect, a clearing house for all fraternity matters of a general nature. It consists of two rep¬ resentatives from each house, a delegate and Retired an alternate, and two representatives from the faculty. These men meet once a month and agree on rushing rules, supervise inter¬ fraternity sports, and plan and present the Interfraternity Ball. Many feel that the rushing system here at Tech is one of the best in the country. It does away with the horrors of the meet-’em- at-the-train-sign-’em-up system, still used in many colleges. The rules as presented by the Council prevent the freshmen from be¬ ing rushed blindly into anything. Fraternity men are given ample time to meet and to get to know the new men. At the same time, the freshmen can carefully consider the relative merits of the various fraternities and of their members. There can be no off campus rushing and the freshmen are allowed to accept invitations to the different houses only for times specified in the rules. This prevents the cost of rushing from ris¬ ing too high, and at the same time gives the 120 men being rushed a truer picture of frater¬ nity life. Each year cups are presented to the house winning the competition in tennis, relay, bowling, swimming, basketball, and base¬ ball. This competition helps greatly to fos¬ ter the good spirit found on the Hill among all fraternity men. This year President Wat Tyler Cluverius made a personal gift of a silver trophy which will hereafter accompany the cash award for General Excellence and will be presented each year to that fraternity which attains the highest number of points toward this award. Each chapter which wins the award will have its letters and the date of presenta¬ tion engraved on the trophy. It will then be held by that fraternity until some other chapter exceeds it in General Excellence.

The Interfraternity Ball had an added significance to all of us here at Tech this year, for it was our only large dance of the year. As everyone else, we here at Tech had to give up a few luxuries, but the one that we chose to keep was the Ball. Although expenses were cut, the affair was as good as, if not better than usual. It was, of course, held in Alden, the decorations consisting of the crests of the nine fraternities represent¬ ed. The rolling styles” of Reggie Childs were featured and provided good danceable music for the revelers. In spite of sub-zero temperatures, the attendance was large and the enjoyment tremendous. President’s Trophy 121 SKULL H. Aubertin A. Jones T. Landers E. Lipovsky F. McNamara Skull, the school’s own senior honorary society, was founded in 1911 to organize the campus leaders in a planned effort to further the Tech spirit and stimulate inter¬ est in campus activities. Its membership consists of men whose personalities and abil¬ ities are outstanding; consequently Skull members do much toward influencing stu¬ dent opinion. Skull is distinctive among Tech institu¬ tions in that it is strictly a local organization made up of a select group of members and because it is fundamentally a student organ¬ ization with considerable influence. The meetings of this group are secret and are held in the Skull Tomb located on the southeast corner of the campus. The only public ceremony of Skull is the pledging of new members. There is a terrific element of suspense present at this ceremony since the choice of candidates to the society is kept secret until the pledgees are actually tapped.” The tapping ceremony occurred this year at a special assembly on December 16 in Alden Memorial. The respect which Tech holds for this group is shown by the large but silent assembled body witnessing the tapping. Each member of Skull, dressed in a long, flowing black robe, descends in turn from the stage and slowly, deliberately pass¬ es among the students in search of his pledgee. After considerable deliberate hesi¬ tation he finally chooses his man and strikes him firmly on the shoulder. The new pledgee is then escorted to the front of the room where he is presented a pledge pin by the president of the society. H. Merkel B. Messer 122 The Tomb ” The new men are chosen from the active membe rs of the Junior class; the number is limited to eleven, no more than three of whom can be from the same fraternity. The choice is based on the qualifications of out¬ standing personality and ability. The following Juniors were tapped for membership in Skull for 1943-44: Sidney Stayman, Nicholas N. Economu, J. Whitton Gibson, Jr., Alfred C. Hellig, Raymond E. Herzog, George W. Collins, Harold E. Swenson, I. James Donahue, Jr., William E. Stone, and Robert M. Twitched. Many of the faculty hold membership in Skull. These members include Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius, Dean Francis W. Roys, Dr. Albert J. Schweiger, Prof. Herbert F. Tay¬ lor, Prof. Donald G. Downing, Prof. M. Lawrence Price, Prof. Edwin Higginbottom, and Prof. Arthur J. Knight. Every year, in order to stimulate the in¬ terest of the Freshman class, Skull awards a prize to the man who has done most for the college in his Freshman year. The name of the recipient is added to the list of previous winners engraved on the Skull trophy. This custom was started in 1926. Although this is one of the highest honors that a Freshman can receive, it does not guarantee him future membership in Skull. This year the award, a slide rule, went to Hugo L. Norige of the class of 1943. Every Freshman, from the day he enters Tech, aspires to wear the distinguishing white cap and the distinctive gold pin that indicates a member of that highest honorary society, Skull. R.

Its purpose is to show respect to those who have brought honor to their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and com¬ mendable character as undergraduates in engineering colleges, or by their personal accomplishments as alumni. Over fifty chapters of Tau Beta Pi, established in the leading technical colleges of our country, form the largest honorary fraternity for undergraduate engineers. Membership in this society is open to Seniors in the upper fourth and Juniors in the upper eighth of their classes. Elections for membership are held twice a year; one in the fall and one in the spring. A formal initiation banquet of Tau Beta Pi was held in November, at which time nine Seniors and Mr. Robert Adams of the class of 1904 were initiated. After the ini¬ tiation was over Mr. Adams spoke on and demonstrated a golf swing timer, which he has developed during the past ten years. During the last several years Tau Beta Pi has awarded a prize to the member of the present Sophomore class who during his Freshman year attained first honors in studies, and showed a definite interest in many other phases of college life on the campus. 124 SIGMA XI Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell Univer¬ sity in 1886 with the purpose of recognizing and rewarding college undergraduates for excellence in scientific fields of research. Since 1886 the membership of the Society has increased to over twenty thousand. In 1908 the local chapter made its appear¬ ance on the campus. Several meetings are held during the scholastic year, in which new developments in science are considered. Speakers for these meetings are usually in¬ dustrialists or professors from other colleges. Nominations of members to Sigma Xi are made by the faculty. Faculty members and graduates are eligible for full membership, while associate memberships are open to Seniors. Ordinarily elections take place twice during the school year, but this year, due to the accelerated program, these two elections were merged into one which took place the last pa rt of November. Mr. Ran¬ dolph H. Bretton, Graduate Assistant in Physics, was elected to full membership, and twenty-one Seniors were elected as associates to the Society. Associate memberships are based on scholarship and general achieve¬ ment in extra curricular activity. Although not full members, associate members enjoy most of the privileges of the Society.
