GEORGE L. FETHEROLF, JR. Editor-in-Chief JOHN R. FLEMING Managing Editor JOHN W. HAGSTROM Business Manager DAVID L. HAIGHT Advertising Manager WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE WORCESTER. MASSACHUSETTS Worcester Polytechnic Institute 1944 We, the Class of Nineteen Forty-Four, respectfully dedicate this volume of the Peddler, to Lieutenant (j.g.) Albert James Schwieger, U.S.N.R., who was our willing teacher and friend in pre-war days. As Assistant Commander of the V-12 Naval Unit on the Hill, his understanding and ability make it pos¬ sible for the Navy and the college to work together smoothly. ‘During our four years on the Hill, how many of us have realized and appreciated its beauty ? ' Trobably very few, for our attention has been on its details and not on the campus as a whole. It is our belief that these pictures will ever stir and awaken the memories of Tech men.

The Trustees Francis William Roys DEAN OF ENGINEERING DEAN OF ADMISSIONS AND OF STUDENTS CHAIRMAN OF THE FACULTY Jerome Willard Howe This year, especially, we pay tribute to the administration of the Institute. It has been a challenge to lead a small college through the many changes that W. P. I. has met during these war years, but the administration has accepted the challenge and has carried on splendidly. In July, at the beginning of our senior year, the Navy selected the Institute for the instruction of about 325 students, enlisted and enrolled as engineer specialist candidates, V-12. To complete arrangements for this change and to carry on the administration of the college has been a mammoth task. Disturbance at Worcester Tech has been slight; there has been no infusion of new teachers or administrators and the civilian students have been able to continue on a par with the students of the Naval Unit. We have been very fortunate that the V-12 Unit came to Tech and fitted into the routine with a minimum clashing of gears. Most of the credit goes to the faculty people we call the administration. Francis Joseph Adams SECRETARY OF THE FACULTY Gertrude Rogers Rugg REGISTRAR Bonnie-Blanche Schoonover LIBRARIAN Arthur Julius Knight SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Arthur Justin Staples ACTING SUPERINTENDENT OF HEAT AND POWER William Willard Locke, Jr. SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DORMITORIES AND SUPERINTENDENT OF ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE Herbert Foster Taylor ALUMNI SECRETARY Paul Richard Swan DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PERSONNEL ACTIVITIES AND DIRECTOR OF PLACEMENT AND PUBLICITY On the shoulders of the department heads rests the work of planning the Institute curricula, one of the most important responsibilities in the college. A college is judged by the preparation of the men who graduate, and this depends very much on how well the courses of instruction are taught. However, a collection of well taught courses does not make a curriculum. They must be planned to give the widest breadth of view in the few years that potential engineers can give to formal education. Several of our heads of departments have been given leaves of absence. Being experts in their resepective fields, they have been required for special tasks. In leaving Tech for their important work, they have brought honor to the college. Meanwhile, other members of their departments have accepted the responsibility for carrying on. There are ten subject-departments, o f which five grant degrees. Those departments granting degrees offer the courses of professional and scientific training, while the other five departments provide supplementary training needed by a successful engineer. Charles Joseph Adams PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH Head of the Department Leland Leavitt Atwood PROFESSOR OF MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY Head of the Department Percy Robert Carpenter PROFESSOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Head of the Department Andrew Hall Holt (Leave of Absence) PROFESSOR OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Head of the Department Morton Masius PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS Head of the Department Theodore Harding Morgan (Leave of Absence) PROFESSOR OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Head of the Department Raymond Kurtz Morley PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS Head of the Department Francis William Roys PROFESSOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Head of the Department Albert James Schwieger (Leave of Absence) PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS, GOVERNMENT, AND BUSINESS Head of the Department Ernest Dana Wilson PROFESSOR OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND CHEMISTRY Head of the Department Long after we have left college, we will remember the Tech faculty. They have provided us with the education for which we came to W. P. I.; they have helped us in our choice of courses; they have supervised our extra-curricular activities; and they have been our main subject of conversation over the dinner table. In other years, the debt we owed the faculty was for guiding us down the groove of higher education. This year, however, they have not merely done that job well—they were called upon to do more. And they have done it. No great changes in the curricula had to be made. Worcester Tech, as it was, was adapted for training men for a place in a nation at war. Every instructor has been able to teach in his own field or in fields very closely related. True, some departments have been strained to meet an additional load, but the faculty has come through with flying colors. The disturbance at Tech has been small. The faculty needed no outside help to meet the new conditions; they simply adapted themselves and their facilities. Except for the appointment of the three Chief Petty Officers to help in the enlarged physical training program, the Navy has not had to add to the faculty. Among the few faculty changes which occurred last year were the resignation of Prof. William L. Phinney of the Mathematics Department, Dr. J. Carrell Morris and Dr. Walter Wagner of the Chemistry Department, and Mr. Edward T. P. Watson of the Economics Department. Mr. R. Miller Lewis, Instructor in Economics, Government, and Business, was appointed at the beginning of our senior year, but had to leave in October to accept a commission in the Navy. Mr. Karl F. Treckle has taken over Mr. Lewis’ duties. Mr. Treckle has been asso¬ ciated with Eastman Kodak Company and taught at the University of Maine. Also appointed to the faculty and still with us is Dr. Wilbur B. Bridgman, of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Bridgman came to Tech from the University of Wisconsin. He has planned and is teaching a new course in colloidal chemistry.

UNDERHILL, Secretary H. E. SWENSON, Treasurer R. A. HARDER, Historian It was way back on Wednesday, September 25, 1940, when the Class of ’44 received its official welcome in Assembly. With the Soph¬ omore dip in Institute Pond, the tea dance, and the S. C. A. reception, we were well started on our Tech career, one in which the Class of ’44 was to excel on the field and in the classroom. The first taste of class competition was a slapping defeat in the Paddle Rush and a pain¬ ful lowering of our flag despite the greased flag-pole and a desperate defense. Then we were dragged through the depths of Institute Pond in the Rope Pull by a firmly entrenched Sophomore team. With the track defeat, the Goat’s Head was almost in the hands of the Sophomores, and we were really the lowly men of the campus. Little did we know it then, but 1940 was to be the last year of effective hazing. Then came the memorable Bancroft Blaze which, without doubt, would have been said to have been inspired by Prof. Allen’s gas talk, if it had not happened three days earlier. Also about this time, the Class of ’44 very unoffi¬ cially conducted the first ground-breaking for the new M. E. building. In the two years fol¬ lowing that date we were to witness the great¬ est changes on the Tech campus: the new soccer field, tennis courts, Higgins Laboratories, boiler and stack for the Power House, and the Salis¬ bury additions. With a hard victory in the class football game and hands down win with Buddy Buys an Orchid” in the Tech Carnival, we had gained some prestige before rushing began. Automatically we became kings of the hill” each evening, and did the rounds for two weeks, when 106 of us pledged up. Although the basketball season was not out¬ standing that year, ’44 had put some top men on the court. Despite interclass basketball and swimming wins, the bowling defeat gave the Goat’s Head to the Sophomores. Early in the term the faculty presented their play, The Sleeping Car,” a laugh hit. The Junior Prom week-end came soon after, with the Masque presenting its first play in Alden Memorial, Ceiling Zero,” a notable success. Then May and June, with tennis, baseball, and drawing sessions on the hot afternoons. Even after a tough week of exams and a full summer ahead, we could not help but look forward to our Sophomore year as we watched the steel framework of the new M. E. building take shape noisily and methodically. Selective Service Registration and the general trend of world events made us a more serious group of returning Sophomores. But with most of our original number we were deter¬ mined to rule the Freshmen. The mud-slinging battle in Institute Pond resulted mainly in in¬ juries to the participants and a ruling that the park was off-campus. Hazing was rather damp¬ ened in spirit as a result, but was revived heart¬ ily with the pants-pulling” episode outside of Salisbury. Following from the consequent rev- elry was an order which left only limited haz¬ ing and little spirit. The fall sport set-up was radically changed. Coaches Stagg and Pritchard had replaced Pete” Bigler and Ted Budzyna, and due to the Freshman rule, the varsity teams were handicapped, and the season was generally unsuccessful. The Sophomores went down in crushing de¬ feats in the Paddle Rush and the dry-land” Rope Pull, won the track meet, but then lost the soccer and football contests. The most heartbreaking loss of all was the Tech Carnival skit, after an outstanding impersonation of Dr. Masius. With rushing just completed and the Inter¬ fraternity Ball approaching, a sombre note fell over Tech as it did over all America. Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, and the U. S. had entered World War II. Reorganization of schedules was apparent. The Seniors would graduate May 1, 1942; the Juniors on February 1, 1943; and we, simi¬ larly, in February 1944. Despite the many un¬ certainties due to the war, activities and clubs went on as usual, with a fair season in basket¬ ball. Time went quickly to the gala combined Prom, with Bob Allen’s orchestra, and the star Masque presentation, Through the Night.” With warm weather came graduation, and exams, and the term was ended. We left the campus to the Seniors, for our last real summer vacation before returning for the final grind. Back that fall, we found more of our ranks gone, largely to the services. The future was uncertain and the war was becoming closer to all. Blackouts, air-raid precautions, and the dimout, added to the war changes at Tech. Following the lead of the Seniors many under¬ classmen enlisted in the services, especially in the Navy. Defense classes lighted the campus at night, and Army and Navy pre-flight cadets were on the campus during the day. Faculty losses to war posts were felt in all depart¬ ments. Students in the Marine and Army Re¬ serves were called, but the Navy Men were still uncertain. Although college activities continued, with the Juniors officiating at interclass competition, there was not the whole-hearted spirit as in previous years. With the 1-A” added in¬ centive to study, hitting the books” was more important. With the Ball and the Masque production, Mr. and Mrs. North,” another season was ended. Five men were pledged to Tau Beta Pi and ten to Skull, just before the Seniors graduated. April brought naval qualification exams, and soon after the announcement that Tech had been selected for a naval unit. The second term was soon over and everyone left to enjoy the three short weeks allowed for campus alterations. Upon return, with pre-school rushing of the small incoming class, and the common sight of navy blue around the campus, Tech was a dif¬ ferent place. The novelty of the uniforms was quickly forgotten in the studying and swiftly passing summer weeks. Sigma Xi elected thir¬ teen Seniors to the society and six Seniors were pledged to Tau Beta Pi. Then summer had passed and football and soccer were here again—the best football sea¬ son in five years, with the special victory, Tech Trounced Harvard!” The civilians were hav¬ ing interviews, receiving a barrage of offers, and will by all indications be well dispersed over the country. Now, as Seniors, looking back and reviewing the class as a whole, we see, even though long of single spirit, how diverse our paths will soon become. However, a sudden realization of how much we have gained at Tech becomes a guide before us all. We can appreciate now if we have not before, the debt we owe the faculty at Tech for the training we have received, and the advantages freely given to us to utilize. We have seen others join us and know their respect for the school even in such a short time. No matter where we are or what we will be doing, Navy, Army, Marines, or civilian, we have a common heritage—Tech Engineers. And as it is now farewell at the parting of our ways, graduating at a most uncertain pres¬ ent, so may it be friendship and honor at every intersection of our paths, and gratitude and homage to our Alma Mater in the future. Skull, the senior honorary society on the campus, was founded in 1911 to promote Tech spirit and to stimulate an active interest in campus activities. Its membership consists of those men whose personalities and abilities make them outstanding in their class. Because of the prestige it carries, Skull influences the student opinion of the entire campus. The meetings of this select group are held in complete secrecy in Skull Tomb, the small building 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 at this cere¬ mony since the choice of candidates is a closely guarded secret, and remains so until the new members are tapped. Tapping usually occurs two months before graduation and is held at an assembly in Alden Memorial. The tapping ceremony is witnessed by all four classes, and the large number of students present show the great respect for Skull on the Hill. Each member, dressed in a long flowing black robe, descends in turn from the stage and slowly passes among the student assembly. After much deliberate hesitation, he chooses his man and indicates this by striking him firmly on the shoulder. The pledgee is then led before the president of the society and pre¬ sented a pledge pin. Every student at Tech, from the day he en¬ ters, aspires to the hope of someday wearing the white cap and gold pin that distinguish Skull members. Since membership is limited to eleven, only a small number ever attain this aspiration. It is this very same selectness that makes Skull not only the highest honorary society on the campus, but the most influ¬ ential. G. W. Collins I. J. Donahue, Jr N. N. Economou J. W. Gibson, Jr. A.

Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell University in 1886 for the purpose of rewarding college under¬ graduates for their work in science courses and to encourage work in scientific research. Since that time the society has grown to a membership of over 20,000. The local chapter, founded in 1908, holds several meetings each year at which new developments and general scientific subjects are discussed. Faculty members and graduates are eligible for full membership and Seniors are eligible for an associate membership to the society. The associates are chosen by the faculty on the basis of scho¬ lastic standing, extracurricular activities, and the promise they show for scientific research. Associate members are granted most of the privileges of the society. Mr. Kurt L. Mayer of the Physics department was awarded a full membership and thirteen Seniors were made associate members this year. At the annual initiation Dr. Allan E. Parker, Professor of Physics, gave an interesting talk entitled Some Industrial Uses of Optical Physics.” Tau Beta Pi was founded at Lehigh University in 1885, while the local chapter was organized in 1910. Its aim is to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor to their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering.” Since its founding it has grown into the largest honorary fraternity for undergraduate engineers in the country with over fifty chapters in the leading technical colleges. Seniors in the upper four the Juniors in the upper eighth of their classes are eligible for member¬ ship in this society. Two elections for membership are held each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. This fall six Seniors and two Juniors were initiated into the local chapter. Preliminary to the fall pledging ceremony, the president of Tau Beta Pi announces the awarding of a prize to the Sophomore who displayed outstanding scholarship and character during his fresh¬ man year. This year the award, a set of Mechanical Engineering handbooks, was made to Carl Simon of the class of 1946. Second Row, left to right : J. A. Bjork, F. C. Baginski, C. W. Highberg, E. C.

Nine social fraternities—all of the fraternities on the campus—are represented on the council. The council strives toward a closer relationship among the chapters of the fraternities represented on the council, the faculty, and the student body. After many years of supervising a model rushing system on the Hill, the Interfraternity Council was called upon this year to aid the incoming freshman class by providing housing facilities, since the freshman dormitory had to be used for the trainees in the V-12 program. The council planned a quota rushing system which solved the problem and assured each fraternity a limited number of men. The council also planned the Christmas Ball on December seventeenth, together with the Round Robin Dance on the following evening. Members of the council this year are: Prof. Harold J. Gay, Chairman; Prof. Edwin Higginbottom, Secretary; Leon Rosenthal, Alpha Epsilon Pi; John Bayer, Alpha Tau Omega; Robert Edgerly, Lambda Chi Alpha; Clinton Hellig, Phi Gamma Delta; Gordon Sherman, Phi Sigma Kappa; Robert Neumeister, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Harold Krieger, Sigma Phi Epsilon; John Chandler, Theta Chi; George Uihlein, Theta Kappa Phi.

COMMANDING OFFICER Co t cL ommanaer %me6 px eu c4 ; M. C v U. S. N. R. MEDICAL OFFICER U.S.N.R. ASSISTANT COMMANDING OFFICER The Navy blue made its debut on the Tech campus on July 1, 1943 as a result of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s being selected for the accommodation and instruction of 320-odd students to be enrolled in the V-12 program, to take the curricula planned for engineer specialist candidates. At the suc¬ cessful completion of eight semesters of study, the candidate is eligible for a commission in the USNR after further training at a Reserve Midshipman’s School. The Navy V-12 unit at Tech is under the command of Captain Guy Davis, USN, who is also Commanding Officer of the Holy Cross V-12 and N. R. O. T. C. units. The assistant commanding officer of the Tech V-12 unit is Lieutenant (j. g.) Albert J. Schwieger, USNR, head of the Department of Economics, Govern¬ ment, and Business at W. P. I. on leave of absence. Broken bones, mumps, cat” fever, and the like are the responsi¬ bility of the unit’s Medical Officer, Commander James P. Lewis, USNR, and his right-hand men—Pharmacist’s Mates Archambeault and Chism. Many a sick man (and an occasional gold brick”) has longed for the attention of a Navy nurse only to find himself quartered in the Sick Bay in Sanford Riley Hall and in the hands of Archie and Pete. The unit’s main medical office is located in the gymnasium and has proven well-equipped to care for the majority of ailments. Gold bricks” unable to break into Sick Bay have been well taken care of by Ensign Robert Brown, new to the unit in October 1943- Ensign Brown’s chief duty has been in the maintenance of discipline and he has carried out this activity well. Located in the same office with the Ensign, Chief Specialist Cloyd Rogers has his desk and files from which he performs his work of assistant to the Personnel Officer. Chief Rogers in addition is responsible for a share of the work in the Physical Training program. Across the quadrangle in the gym is located the Chiefs’ Office where Chiefs Creeden and McNulty organize their daily torture periods. ' It would seem that in the time from July to January two chiefs as ingenious as Paddy and Mac could conceive some new types of calisthenics, but no . . . still those same old morale-builders—the jumping jack, back stretcher, push-ups, and the favorite of all trainees—squat thrusts. The greatest thing that the unit has had to be thankful for is the advent of the nice cold, dreary winter with its indoor gym periods and an end to cross-country jaunts, the obstacle course, and Paddy’s notorious grass drills. Quarters for the 300-odd V-12s at Tech are provided by two dormitories: Sanford Riley Hall, and the newly con¬ verted Stratton Hall. On the main deck of Sanford Riley is the Naval Office with Yeomen Stumpf and Sackerson in charge of much of the unit’s paperwork. On the main deck in Stratton Hall, the small stores bulk and issue rooms are found, with Storekeeper Vern Lovelady in charge. As a part of the military organization of the unit there is muster before each meal in the parking area in front of Sanford Riley Hall. Each dormitory com¬ prises a battalion of men and the two battalions alternate weekly in mustering first for chow. According to decks in each dorm, the two battalions are divided into companies, and the companies, in turn, into platoons. Platoon, company, and battalion commanders are student officers and their duties are to make these musters and maintain desirable study conditions during the evening. Each year a new and relatively inexperienced staff assumes the responsibility of editing and pub¬ lishing the Peddler. Each group has the same aim— to give Tech the best yearbook it has ever seen.” We have been no different. In spite of the difficulties impressed on us by the war, the staff aimed high. This aim was to achieve a clean, simple design that would present the material attractively and interestingly. Through¬ out the book, simplicity and attractiveness make themselves felt. Since a picture tells more than a paragraph, the emphasis in this Peddler is on the pictorial. The first section of the book was planned with this in mind. The result is a group of campus views unexcelled in beauty and interest. The treatment of Tech’s naval unit is also pictorial, with interesting shots of the men and their special activities. The candid section is a new treatment, for the Peddler, of that material. In grouping these photographs, their interest is heightened and an overall picture of life on the Hill is presented as a unit. To the student body as a whole little is known about the work that results in a yearbook such as this Peddler. Jack Fleming, as Managing Editor, directed the assignment and collection of all the written material. Responsible to Jack were the junior staff and the contributors, who wrote the articles. All the formal photography was supervised by Red Underhill. He directed the photography of all organizations, clubs and teams; he arranged for the photography of all senior students; and he collected the new faculty portraits. Red worked with the Bushong Studio and with Mr. Willard Gould. Their cooperation and willingness were indispensable to the staff. Norm Blodgett not only collected all the informal shots, but did much of the photography. Harold Kingsbury and El Smith both helped a great deal with their fine photographs of naval activities. Joe Gibson worked with Jack Fleming on the collection of copy; he supervised the athletic write-ups, which are more inter¬ esting to Tech men this year (for obvious reasons). Jim Donahue and Herb Sheldon assumed the responsibility of all personnel copy. They had to collect activity data on all seniors and tabulate it, as well as make up the directory of the rest of the student body. Business Manager Jack Hagstrom and his staff, the men who paid the bills, made the book a financial possibility. They were also the salesmen and distributors of the books. This Peddler would have been impossible if Dave Haight, Advertising Manager, had not done a superb job. He redesigned the advertising section and, with the rest of the staff, set a new record in the sale of space. Einar Eriksen and Erl Lagerholm worked hand-in-hand with Jack and Dave in the business end of this publication. Never before has so much credit for the success of a Peddler been due the business staff. The work of all these men was eased and advised by Mr. Russell C. Knight of the Stobbs Press. As printer and engraver of this book, the Stobbs Press, through Mr. Knight, has helped immensely in the planning and preparation of the material. The advice and assistance of Professor Paul R. Swan, our faculty advisor, was equally indispensable to the staff; his knowledge of W. P. I. customs and laws facilitated the work a great deal. The cooperation and helpfulness of the administration, faculty, and navy personnel on the Hill have made our work easy and pleasant. To name all to whom we owe thanks is impossible in this space; hence the omission is not meant to indicate a lack of gratitude. er First Row, left to right: E. A. Eriksen, M. H. Hunt, A C.

The Tech Council, one of the most important organizations at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, performs many duties. Its primary object is the furtherance of the Institute ' s interest in all possible ways. At the regular bi-monthly meetings both student and faculty members thoroughly discuss all the affairs of college life on the Hill. The constitution of the Council provides for two classes of members, ex-officio and elective. The ex-officio members are the President of the Institute and the presidents of the classes, clubs, and organizations. The elected membership is composed of two faculty members and nine undergraduate members, elected from the respective classes, tbe President of the Council being a senior. The Council serves as a guiding body and as a connecting link between the faculty and the student body. It helps to promote athletic interest at Tech and has control over many of the undergraduate activities. This year, with the Navy on the campus, the Council has had additional duties in helping to coordinate the Navy and civilian programs. A new idea this year was the inauguration of a class ring, which the Council supported by paying for the necessary dies from the proceeds of the Fall Formal, thus enabling the students to purchase the rings at a lower price. As the student-faculty linkage, the Council has all of the student activities under the guidance of a central organization. This merger of student leaders and faculty representatives brings about a prompt, efficient, and cooperative solution to problems and questions brought before the Tech Council.

Since its origination in 1910, the Tech News Association has steadily grown into a paper of which we may be justly proud. The Tech News prints all news on social activities, sports, club functions, and any matter which may in any way present itself as interesting reading material to the students. The Tech News reports its news according to the general concensus of opinion of all the students on the Hill. Letters to the Editor’ is a column in which any student may express his views on pertinent problems on the campus. The editorials are written to present helpful criticism or earned praise in the campus activities. Two new columns, On and Off the Record, and Shavings From the Mill” are included in recent issues of the News. The News has been on a bi-weekly schedule the past two semesters, but it is expected that it will return to its regular weekly basis shortly. The Tech News is a member of the Intercollegiate Press and the Associated Collegiate Press, both of which are composed of the more active college newspapers in the country. The staff of the Tech News is to be commended on the wonderful job it has done during such trying times to give us a paper which rates among the highest. Third Row, left to right ' . J. J.

Despite a host of new problems brought about by the war and the accelerated program, the Glee Club has had a very successful program and looks forward to continuing it. Mem¬ bership and attendance have been good, so that rehearsals have been encouraging. After being disappointed over a proposed concert at Hyannis in July, the Glee Club sang an informal supper concert at the First Baptist Church in Worcester. Then there were several appearances at the weekly assemblies. The first concert away was at Hopedale. Here the octet gave an outstanding performance; several novelty numbers filled out the program. Following this by a few weeks was a joint concert with Pembroke at Worcester, for which the girls stayed over night at the fraternity houses. Although this rounded out the pre-Christmas season, Clifford Green, director, looks forward to another successful year in 1944. The Boyntonians this year are even better than they were last year, with several new men aug¬ menting the brass and rhythm sections. Never before in the history of Tech has the band ever been composed of navy men as well as civilians. An assembly program was added to the Gym dances, Glee Club dances, and Sport dances with music by the Boyntonians that have been the leading social activities on the Hill. Under the leader¬ ship of Mai Hunt the Boyntonians have kept up their widespread reputation by playing throughout New England. The boys in the band enjoy practices as well as jobs. This is perhaps due to wisecracking lead trumpeter, Charlie Richardson, or due to ever laughing Chet Snow, the man on the drums who needs but one bugle call to set him off. Dick Nietert on bass and Ed Polkabla, the football playing guitarist, are new additions to the band, having been transferred to Tech this year by the navy. The rhythm section is very capably rounded out by Mai Morrison, the only freshman in the band and a really fine piano player. Roy Baharian, the senior, does honors on solo trombone, backed up by Glenn Harman to form a good solid brass section. Mai Hunt, the leader and second tenor man, keeps the band to the orchestrations, but before practice his clarinet cuts familiar figures along with the other tenor sax, Lee Lidofsky, who takes pleasure in deep throated grunts from the baritone saxophone. Under a brown felt hat with a tiger colored band sits alto saxophonist Cush Bozenhard. Where Cush goes the hat is sure to follow. A toot and a couple of cracked notes on the trumpet probably means Bob Ballard is trying to improve his trumpet technique. He still has hopes of trumpet playing but until that time works full time at his job as lead alto sax. Einar Eriksen, manager, and Frank Mueller, assistant, spend most of their time working on the public address system so Betty Sprague can do justice to the vocals. Second Row, left to right: E. A.

This year the band, as well as many other organizations at Tech, has run into many difficulties. However, the large number of musically minded men that did turn out, under the fine supervision of William F. Lynch, ag ain produced one of the most active organizations on the Hill. The band started to practice much earlier this year. This gave fellows who like to play instruments a fine chance to express themselves musically. In the earlier part of the year the navy and the civilian bands played in separate groups; however, toward the latter part of the year the bands merged. Everyone is familiar with the fine entertainment and quick stop on a dime” stops afforded attenders of basketball games. The band also played at all home football games, and puts in frequent appearance at essemblies. One of the outstanding social events of the season is a joint concert with the Tech band and glee club performing in conjunction with a visiting college glee club. The navy band unit plays at their weekly drills. With the seniors graduating, the civilian band membership will be further decreased, but it is hoped that the newcomers to the Hill, navy or civilian, will make up for this loss. With concerts and other public appearances being planned, the band will have, as in the past, a very successful season. Despite the war and its restrictions on amateur radio activity, there is still an active interest in electronic projects among members of the Radio Club. Wired wireless” is a much-talked-about means of communication around the Hill, and some independent experimenters are tinkering with possible circuits. Irving Versoy has been spending most of his recent spare time in the construction of a hi-fi” amplifier. Whenever any of the hams” get stuck on a problem, Professor Newell, Faculty Advisor, is always right there with some aid or advice. v ewman The Worcester Tech Newman Club is an orginization to promote Catholic culture and Catholic fellowship. Members meet monthly to hear talks on various phases of Catholic tradition and discuss questions of moral and religious significance. This year the club has presented a series of talks by Fr. Daniel Cronin, chaplain of the club, on the Bible and its place in church liturgy. Annually, the club sponsors a dance with the Newman Club of W. S. T. C. and a Communion Breakfast. ti ica The Skeptical Chymists Society is one of the oldest clubs on the campus. Named after the Skep¬ tical Chymist” of Robert Boyle, the society presents each year a program of broad scope related to the fields of chemistry and the chemical industry. This year famous chemists and selected subjects in chemical history were discussed by the society. All chemistry and chemical engineering students are eligible for membership. Robert Foster was President this year, and Arthur Lindros was Secretary- Treasurer. Dr. C. H. Stauffer is Faculty Advisor. ero The Aero Club was organized at the time that the Aeromechanics course was introduced 16 years ago. During the past two years Professor F. S. Finlayson has been the Faculty Advisor. Meetings were held nearly every month and included movies of the building and test flights of the Macon and a talk by Doctor Plimpton on the activities of the Civil Air Patrol. At one time an interesting course was given in the Link Trainer, with prizes for the best performances. Throughout the year instruction in radio flying in the Link was offered by J. E. Bigelow, President of the club. RADIO CLUB NEWMAN CLUB SKEPTICAL CHYMISTS AERO CLUB OUTING CLUB DEBATING CLUB COSMOPOLITAN CLUB CAMERA CLUB L Jutincf The Outing Club has been on the Hill for so many years that it promises to become a permanent part of the school athletic program. The interests of the club have always been in the direction of skiing and the Ski Team, which is under their auspices, is carrying a heavier and heavier schedule each year. Under its President, William Densmore, the club holds regular meetings where plans are made for activities and where entertainment consists of movies and talks on skiing. This year a new ski room was constructed by the club in the basement of Stratton Hall. At this writing, a full schedule of meets is being planned for the winter. As a result of last year’s work, the Ski Team received an invitation to the 23rd Annual Intercollegiate Ski Meet held at Lake Placid and a few men represented the school at that meet. The club plans to participate in a meet sponsored by the Scandinavian Athletic Association of this city, and a three-way meet is being planned with M. I. T. and Tufts. 2 , The Tech Debating Club, although organized only a few years ago, is already well established on the campus. The membership is not large, but the active members are intensely interested in debat¬ ing, and opportunities to take part in interscholastic debates and intra-club discussions are frequent. This year, Einar Eriksen is President of the club. Joseph Marcus is Secretary, and John Saunier is General Manager. Prof. Claude K. Scheifley is Faculty Advisor. bating CLl The Cosmopolitan Club, originally founded for greater fellowship of foreign-born students, has become a travel lecture-discussion group, including faculty and native students as well. The talks are always interesting personal narration, and are usually accompanied by unique pictures. Refresh¬ ments and general discussion follow each talk. The meetings are friendly, entertaining social gather¬ ings, devoted to a more cosmopolitan outlook for engineers. Max Krakenberger is President, Fong Zung Yih, Vice-President, and Francis Bliven, Secretary-Treasurer for the coming year, with Professor Claude Scheifley as Faculty Advisor. amera The Camera Club, started in 1921, has always succeeded in organizing a large number of Tech men interested in photography. Ideas on different phases of photography are cheerfully exchanged. With the help of the club members and noted speakers who visit from time to time, a camera fan can learn a great deal about his hobby. The theory discussed at meetings is put to practice on model night.” Here, with the help of the excellent lighting facilities of the Alden stage, pictures are taken of a professional model. The club, which is a member of the New England Council of Camera Clubs, also sponsors prize vanning photo contests during the year. P. N. KOKULIS J. R. FLEMING _4J CL € The American Institute of Chemical En¬ gineers, a relatively new club at Tech, was organized by the Tech students and faculty in the Chemical Engineering Department a few years ago to promote interest in the va¬ rious extensive branches of chemical engi¬ neering and chemical industries. Members on the Hill are given an excellent oppor¬ tunity to become well acquainted with the fine professional association of which they are members. They are given further ad¬ vantages by being able to attend meetings of the society and to listen to lectures given by eminent engineers. In addition to speak¬ ing, these well known men of industry dem¬ onstrate and show pictures or slides of the latest developments in their fields. Lec¬ tures such as F. N. Houghton’s talk on Chemical Patents and Chemical Patent Laws” give the members a chance to become better acquainted with chemical engineering of today. F. C. BAGINSKI J. W. GIBSON, JR. jure The American Institute of Electrical En¬ gineers is a national organization formed to give men in the profession an opportunity to keep posted on the modern trends and on the work of their colleagues. The pur¬ pose of the W. P. I. student branch, spon¬ sored by the national organization, is to offer its members more than a mere class¬ room contact with the electrical engineer¬ ing profession. The Worcester section of the A. I. E. E. holds many joint meetings with our stu¬ dent branch. Recent programs at these meetings have consisted of a demonstration lecture by Professor Newell on Ultra-high Frequencies, and a General Electric film on Lightning, followed by a lightning demon¬ stration by Professor Siegfried. F. J. MICKIEWICZ R. P. BOYCE R. M. BUCK E. G. BALDWIN A. W. ROTHWELL H. E. SWENSON _AS.CC. The Student Chapter of the American So¬ ciety of Civil Engineers sponsors meetings at which various phases of civil engineering are discussed in order to give students in that department a broader view of their field of engineering. Joint meetings with the professional branch of the society are held occasionally. This year Philip P. Brown was Presi¬ dent, J. Larry Stewart was Vice-President, Alfred Rothwell, Secretary, Howard E. Swenson, Treasurer. Prof. Carl F. Meyer is faculty advisor. J. L. STEWART P. P. BROWN F. S. MOULTON N. S. BLODGETT The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is comprised of the faculty and students of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The society holds regular monthly meetings, at which its members enjoy discussions and talks by engineering leaders. Throughout the semester the reg¬ ular meetings are supplemented by several feature lectures and movies. The members of the association also receive the monthly publication of the Mechanical Engineering Magazine. The elected officers of the asso¬ ciation for this year are: President, Fred Moulton; Vice-President, Warner Sturte- vant; Secretary, Sherman Cambell; Treas¬ urer, Norman Blodgett. W. C.

The Student Christian Association at Worcester Tech is a service organization operating with one principal objective—service to all students at the Institute regardless of their religious beliefs. The S. C. A. functions through an appointed cabinet of ten men. The four senior members of this cabinet are its officers; juniors are committee heads—committees devoted to Campus Service, Community Service, Social Activity, and Chapel. The permanent treasurer and faculty advisor to the cabinet is Professor Paul R. Swan, on whose shoulders falls much of the routine work of the S. C. A. Each week, the S. C. A. presents for the entire student body an assembly in Alden Memorial. These gatherings have a three-fold purpose—to inform, to entertain, and to give to both students and faculty the opportunity for Christian thinking. Local clergy welcome the chance to speak at Tech, and in so doing they afford the S. C. A. its best opportunity to accomplish its primary aim— the furtherance of Christian ideals. With funds contributed by all students through the Activities Fee, the S. C. A. maintains the pool and ping-pong equipment and keeps an up-to-date assortment of magazines in Sanford Riley Hall. At the start of each college year, the association distributes the Tech Bible and blotter, and it sponsors annually the Tech Carnival which features dramatic competition between the freshman and sophomore classes. As the occasion arises, the S. C. A. sponsors such activities as polls of student opinion, drives and collections for charity organizations, entertainment in the form of movies or lectures, and discussion groups in the fraternities. The local S. C. A. is affiliated with other student Christian groups in New England and all over the world, and its operation is guided by these larger organizations. In spite of war conditions which have made sports at many colleges non-existent this year. Tech so far has been fortunate in being able to carry a full athletic schedule in both major and minor sports. One reason, and probably the chief one, is that the Navy allows its V-12 students to participate in intercollegiate athletics. This year, with the most promising football team in recent years, the question of scheduling games was the all-important one. Several of our regular opponents had been forced to abandon football and new teams had to be found to take their places on the program. The Athletic Coun¬ cil was faced with one of the toughest jobs in re¬ cent years in getting the fall season under way. With the largest football squad in Tech history reporting for fall practice and an unusually large number of soccer hopefuls, the problem of out¬ fitting the teams was no small task. In pre-season practice games with Holy Cross, the football team showed up so well that Tech men, most of whom had never seen a Tech victory during their stay here, began to see a light shin¬ ing through the fog of defeat. That light turned into a blaze of glory as the season ended with four wins and two losses after two victory-less seasons. The crowning achievement of the season was the 13-0 victory over the Harvard informals” in the Harvard Stadium. That game put Worcester on the map. An alumnus in China, in a letter to the alumni Journal, congratulated the team. The news had even reached to the opposite side of the globe. At the time of this writing, the Engineers have just won the first basketball game of the season and from all indications, there is a bright future ahead for the hoop squad. The starting team is made up of last year’s regulars and there are plenty of good reserves from last year and from the Navy transfers. The aim of the Athletic Council is to decide matters of policy concerning athletics here on the Hill. All new sports must first be recognized by the Council before teams can represent Tech in those sports. Letter awards are one of the chief items of business at the bi-annual meetings. Since the Council is made up of both student and faculty members, its decisions of necessity represent a cross section of opinion of the two factions here on the campus. At the fall meeting of the Council letters are voted members of football, soccer, and cross country teams and the managers for the following season are elected. Following the fall meeting, a winter banquet is held for members of the fall sports teams. A prominent speaker is always on hand to say a few appropriate words. Captains for the coming year are elected by the team mem¬ bers at this time. Another feature of the winter banquet is the awarding of letters to players earn¬ ing them. During the second semester, the Athletic Coun¬ cil holds an assembly for the entire student body. At this time officers of the Council for the coming year are elected by the student body. Four of the officers are elected and the fifth is appointed to office by the President of the Institute. Members of the Athletic Council this year are Prof. Percy R. Carpenter, Chairman, Prof. Arthur J. Knight, Prof. Edwin Higginbottom, and Coach Paul Stagg of the faculty. Student members are Nicholas N. Economou, President; Hugo L. Norige, Vice-President; Nestor Brown, Secretary, and Howard E. Swenson. First Row, left to right: Prof. H. F. Taylor, Prof. A. J. Knight, Prof. P R. Carpenter, Prof. E. Higginbottom, N. N. Economou.

Pendleton This season our grid men came through with four wins out of six starts to place football on a level with basketball at Tech. The new Tech team, not so much in men as in spirit, showed they really had the stuff. Where all the power came from is still a mystery but to those that played, it isn’t too much of a surprise. Under the very able direction of Patty Creeden (one of the Navy chiefs), the men on the team went through some of the most vigorous calisthenics that had ever been handed out. However, no matter how hard it was, it certainly did the trick. The condition of the players was tops and this season there wasn’t any petering out in the second half which in the past was one of Tech’s worst faults. Coach Stagg was assisted by three invaluable men: Chiefs McNulty, Rogers, and Creeden. Voluntarily they worked with the fellows every afternoon and were on hand at every game to pick out the defects in Tech’s playing. Several times they spotted a weakness in our playing during the game in time to correct it before any great damage was done. To these men go the thanks of the school and the team since there is no doubt in our minds that they had a tremendous part in mould¬ ing the great team that Tech put on the field this season. Sparked by the old reliables Walt Matzele- vich, Capt. Nick Economou, and Marty Pierson, a Navy transfer who played a bang-up game of foot¬ ball, Tech held their opponents to a minimum of First Row. left to right ' . C. F. Schmit, A. C. Fyler. R. E.

Included in these were two prac¬ tice games with the powerful Holy Cross eleven in which Tech showed the sterling defensive play which marked its games all season. Offensively led by the ace triple threat back, Charlie Schmitt, and the power¬ house Hugo Norige, Tech ripped the opponents’ line apart and when they weren’t doing that, Schmitty was passing over their heads. In the latter part of September the season opened against Bates whom we steamrolled for twenty-one points while they man¬ aged to get a lowly seven. This was the first exhibi¬ tion of Tech’s power to the school and to the public and both were amazed. The expressions on the play¬ ers’ faces after the game were indescribable, but to the men on the team it was the first taste of victory and they loved it. The next battle was with R. P. I. and this ended up with a score of R. P. I. 7, W. P. I. 6, which was a tough one to lose.’’ However R. P. I. admitted that our power was terrific and very unex¬ pected. Football history was made on the following week-end when Tech whitewashed Harvard—yes, Harvard—13 to 0. Playing for the first time in a closed bowl, the team outplayed and trimmed a Har¬ vard team. A week later amid a drizzling rain and a muddy field Tech tasted defeat once more at the hands of a husky Tufts eleven. This only proves that a team can’t ease up because it might pick the wrong time as Tech did. We really should have won this game, but Tufts came through with the victory 6 to 0. After a brief vacation Tech came back and walloped a team that outweighed them by at least fifteen pounds per man. This was Camp Edwards, and we won 21 to 6. In the final encounter for the season we played a much favored Coast Guard team. This was the prime test of Tech’s ability and they came through, blasting with both barrels.” Tech not only equaled Coast Guard but they beat them 19 to 12, which is a bright feather in Tech ' s hat. The final tally was four wins and two losses. Not a clean sweep, but on Tech’s ledger, a terrific season. H. E. Swenson, Captain E. Higginbottom, Coach D. M. Field, Manager Entering the season with what seemed to be a star-studded team, the Engineers, for some inexplic¬ able reason, did not turn in the undefeated season which was predicted for them. With a forward line composed of Krakenberger, Flink, Hall, Baginski, and an excellent freshman, Zink, it seemed incon¬ ceivable that the team could be beaten by anyone. But the record shows four games won and three lost. Injuries and the calibre of the opposing teams were responsible for things going as they did. R. P. I. boasted four all-American players and consequently defeated Tech. But, here Tech’s strong team was in evidence because our boys scored the only goal against R. P. I. in their entire season. Another item which should go on the record in favor of our team is the fact that our players were forced to play this game immediately after arriving in Troy after a vary tedious trip by train and bus from Worcester. Our boys did a good job in rendering a score of R. P. I. 3, W. P. I. 1. Another highlight of the season occurred when Tech took the field against Coast Guard. Beaten by Brown, a team later given a very severe drubbing by Tech, Coast Guard, playing on a very muddy home field, defeated the favored Engineers by a score of 3-2. The field was literally a sea of mud and the Wf 1 ■ Uk. 1 J W s, ■ Mr ’4 ■ MM |- First Row, left to right ' . A. C. Hellig, R. F Petersen. A. E. Green. H. E. Swenson. Captain. E. Lagerholm, F S.

This is one for the books: Coast Guard, beaten by Brown 2-1, defeated the En¬ gineers, while our team defeated Brown by a score of 5-0. Another interesting feature of this year’s soccer season was the series of games with the British Sailors—teams comprised entirely of British sailors on leave in the United States. These teams came to Worcester to play Tech. In both games, these teams demonstrated remarkable finesse as regards ball¬ handling. The first game was won by the English¬ men with a score of 5-4. This defeat, however, can not be held against the Engineers because, although scheduled as a season game, it was treated as a scrim¬ mage to give the entire team the advantage of partici¬ pating in an actual game. The second game had a different ending however. This new score was Tech 5, Sailors 2. The change in score was not due en¬ tirely to the change in the opposing team for they were as accomplished as their predecessors; rather, it was due to the fact that the game was played to be won by Tech. Harvard’s team came to Tech and was soundly trounced 7-2. This was Tech’s leading score and Harvard had the questionable honor of being de¬ feated by the biggest margin in Tech’s entire season. Either one of two conclusions may be drawn con¬ cerning this game and they are as follows: Harvard did not want to risk her reputation by playing a school which has never officially been in the Ivy League and consequently sent her scrub team, or Tech was, in comparison, a far better team than the 1943 New England soccer champions. In the Tufts game, our team didn’t get rolling until the opponents had already scored what was to be their first and only goal of the game. The final score was 5-1. The season’s record was four wins and three losses while the schedule of goals scored was 29 for Tech as against their opponents’ 15. Tech’s 1942-43 basketball team proved to be one of the greatest combines that has ever represented Tech, as it amassed a grand total of 810 points, while holding the opposition to but 704. In spite of the fact that the team had to be completely re¬ vamped in the middle of the season, due to gradua¬ tion and armed services losses, Coach Stagg’s boys turned in a record of thirteen wins and only two defeats. Although only four veterans answered the opening call, a bumper crop of freshman and sophomore tal¬ ent laid the foundations for a strong outfit. Bates, opening the Tech season, came to Worcester boasting an undefeated record and featuring a local boy, Joyce, as its star. With Howie Swenson leading the attack, Joyce and his mates never threatened, and Tech cake- walked home to an easy 54-33 win. The following week, Tech extended its winning streak to three straight as it toppled the Brown Bears at Providence, and edged out Boston University. At Providence, paced by Billie Stone and freshman Charlie Schrnit, the Techsters won a hard-fought 49-45 victory. The Boston University game was probably the most thrilling and best played game of the season. With Tech trailing in the closing min¬ utes of the game, Capt. Stone turned on a withering blitz of set shots that tied the score at 48-48. In the overtime that followed, Tech connected three times while B. U. scored but twice and Tech walked off with a hard-earned victory, 54-52. Arnold Jones was the big gun in the victory, while Captain Joe Silva led the visitors’ attack. St. Anselm and Wesleyan were the next two vic¬ tims of a Tech team that was now in full stride; the former falling by the wayside 55-37 and the latter doing no better as it lost 61-41. The following week Tech put its five-game win¬ ning streak at stake when it played the powerful Springfield College Indians, a team that had lost only to Long Island and to Dartmouth. The old Spring- field jinx continued, however, as the Techsters, start¬ ing slowly, never reached their usual game and lost, 69-44. Freshman George Jones provided the only Tech bright spot as he rang the bell for thirteen points and thus became runnerup to Springfield’s set shot artist, Merrick, who scored eighteen points. Bouncing back to victory, Tech, with Stone and the Joneses closing out their basketball careers at Tech, edged out a strong Northeastern team 60-52. Big Arny Jones turned in his season’s high by loop¬ ing 24 points to pace the team’s attack. After mid-term, a brand new Tech team drew the difficult task of stopping the powerful Coast Guard Academy team, one of the strongest to ever represent that institution.

Hal Fleit, paced the visitors at the half 22-18, and, by turning in one of the season’s finest defensive jobs in holding the Guardsmen to but four field goals in the second half, walked away with their seventh victory of the season, 45-29- After holding themselves on even terms with Rhode Island State for the first four minutes, the locals fell before the blistering pace of the Keaney men and dropped their second game of the year, 89-52. Mearns of the Staters turned in the highest point total scored against Tech all season as he swished in 26 points, while Howie Swenson and Bob Twitchell were high men for Tech. Bouncing back hard after the Rhode Island game, the boys went on to win their next six games in a row. Jack Laffey pacer the team to two thrilling vic¬ tories over Mass. State, 54-47, and Tufts 58-53. In the Tufts game, Tech fans were given a real basket¬ ball treat by Spud Shapiro, who in this game branded himself as one of the finest players that Tech opposed all season. With Hal Fleit dropping in 17, and Laffey scoring 19, Tech swept to a 56-45 victory over their rivals from across the town, Clark University. Little Walt Basuil gave the Techsters something to worry about, however, as he dropped in sixteen points and thus kept Clark within hailing distance. Tech closed out its great season by romping through its next three games over Colby, 45-34, Boston Uni¬ versity, 72-41, and Rensselear, 51-37. Howie Swen¬ son and Charlie Schmit led the Tech assault in the first two of these games and Jack Laffey starred in the win over R. P. I. With the entire team that had finished the 1942-43 season with seven wins and only one defeat returning for the 1943-44 season, Tech fans looked forward to still greater records. Featuring a smooth working offense and an airtight defense, the Techsters made their debut against Lovell General Hospital. With Charlie Schmit opening up the Soldiers’ defense with beautiful push shots, Tech easily walked away with the game, 59-48. Hampered by the local Navy ruling, a Tech team that was short on reserves lost a heartbreaker to a strong, high-scoring Connecticut team. Fouls and a beautifully set up zone defense bothered the boys no small amount. Art Stowe played well for the losing cause. Playing their third game before a Prom Weekend crowd, the Techsters lost a rough and tumble con¬ test, 44-40, to Trinity. Tech’s twenty-one fouls helped the cause none at all. Trinity, using a fast¬ breaking offense, and a hard-to-get-into zone defense, led all the way and held off the only Tech threat in the closing minutes of the game by matching our boys basket for basket. Christmas vacation brought a close to the first quarter of the schedule, and brought forth the firm desire of Tech fans that the team would soon start playing the basketball that they were really capable of playing.

Suffering through a mechanical breakdown in the pool and an epidemic of flu, the Tech mermen, clutching a set of noseplugs in one hand and a pair of waterwings in the other, hit the water for a rather belated start this year. Unflinchingly they went to work loosening up their hardened swimming muscles only to be delayed further with physical fitness tests and rigorous morning exercises. Still not discour¬ aged, and with the first meet only a week away, the floaters and sinkers are hard at work try¬ ing to get into condition. Under the assistance of Frank Grant’s able stop watch and coaching the tanksters are trying every conceivable new kick and stroke to hack previous seconds off their times. There are five lettermen returning. They are Co-captains Harry Sandberg and George Ken¬ nedy, Sam Coes, Dick Russell, and John Metz¬ ger. Going down the list by events we find Sandberg, Harrie Rowe, and Coes leading in the free-style field with W. Miller, Martin, Halttunen, Ferguson, and Riggs following them in. In the back-stroke niche, Metzger still takes the bows with freshman Dave Wilcox closing in just behind and Morgan and Gregory closely thereafter. Russell has a good claim to the breast-stroke laurels. He is ably supported by Lotz and Lee. Kennedy has his regular place on the diving board which he will have to share with Polkabla who looks like he is cap¬ able of some pretty fancy plank prancing. The shorter schedule this year sees Coast Guard and M. I. T. invading the Fuller pool and trips to Williams and Trinity. All of these schools usually turn out powerful com¬ petition. It is hard to tell, from past experi¬ ence, just what is to be expected of the team since in the last three years the Tech mermen have won but two meets out of twenty tries. Only one thing is certain, there will be Tech men fighting and there will be Tech men scor¬ ing. The Tech men are good, so if this year’s team does not turn out better scores than the former teams, it will be no one’s fault; but if it comes through with a good record, as we think it will, there will be much credit due to the coach, Frank Grant, to the manager, Char¬ lie Cannon, and to every last man on the squad. Baseball, for the spring season of 1943, was fairly successful, as the varsity emerged victorious in three of its six games. Under the leadership of Coach Paul Stagg, the team played a much better brand of ball than in the preceding year. The season opener was played at Hartford, and Tech lost a close one, 4 to 3, to Trinity. One sad note was the loss, for the season, of Anson Fyler, out¬ fielder, as he broke his leg sliding into second base. For the second straight game, Tech helped to close the season for the opposition, but this time W. P. I. came out on top, 4 to 1, over Boston University at Boston. The team collected a total of thirteen hits and Kokulis pitched a masterful game as he fanned eight opponents. The Boynton Hillers travelled to Kingston, Rhode Island, but they couldn’t get rolling, so they lost, 10 to 5. In Boston for the second time, W. P. I. was again victorious, defeating Harvard R. O. T. C. 10 to 3. It was a loose game as Schmit and Gibson each stole four bases; however, the game wasn ' t clinched until the eighth inning, when Tech scored five runs. The only home game of the season was played against a strong Northeastern team. Tech got off to a fast start as Captain Gibson walked, Schmit was safe on an error, Nichols walked, and then Lafifey slammed a long double to left, scoring all three run¬ ners. Northeastern came back strong, and the score was 5-all going into the last half of the eighth inning. Kokulis then won his own game when he hit a double, and scored on a wild pitch. The season came to a close as Tech lost at Spring- field, 9 to 2. Kokulis struck out five and Captain Gibson had two of Tech’s six hits. Much credit goes to Paul Kokulis, who did the iron man” stunt of pitching every inning of the season. The starting line-up had Carlson at third, Schmit at shortstop, Lafifey at second, Nichols as catcher, Captain Gibson in left, Simon on first, Econ- omou in right, Buser or Bjork in center, and Kokulis as pitcher.

Chase, The 1943 season opened with a dual meet with Connecticut University on Alumni Field. Tech cindermen showed their mettle in a hotly contested meet all afternoon. When the final score was totaled it gave Tech an edge in a 70 to 65 score. Tech’s strength was in the field events where Hugo Norige took three firsts—shotput, jave¬ lin, and discus. Wotton and Frank Baginski took second and third to make a clean sweep in the javelin. Honors were shared with Sid Stayman who broke the tape in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Bob Blouin and Mai Hunt tied with Connecticut men for first places in the pole vault and high jump respectively. Lou Hallisey won the mile and Frank Baginski made his first place by topping the broad jump. A close battle was forecast for the follow¬ ing week as Tech faced Springfield College who had beaten the Uconns 71 to 64. After the Gymnasts had come and gone the score board showed a disappointing tally of 70 5 6 to 64 1 6 in favor of the visitors. The defeat was partially laid to the fact that Sid Stayman, hampered by a pulled ten¬ don, dropped both dashes to Springfield’s sprint star, Booth. Tech’s power was again felt in the field events, where Hugo Norige and Frank Baginski took a pair of victories apiece. The fellows who cleaned up in the javelin throw against Connecticut repeated their performance. Other first place winners C Baginski, S. Stayman, L. Hallisey, H. L. Norige, Captain, Petersen, R. E Herzog, M. D. Lacedonia, E. Lagerholm. J. R. Row, left to right : C. B. Hathaway, F. S. Holby, F. H. Wotton, R. C. Staples were Malcolm White, who came up with a powerful finish to whisk off with the 120 yard high hurdles; Bob Petersen, who won the 440; and A1 Gault, who ran off with the two mile grind. Other point getters were Hallisey, Sherman, Herzog, Matzelevich, Blouin, and Hunt. With reasonable luck on new material from the two entering classes, the prospects for the coming season seem bright. Hugo Norige re¬ turns as Captain and will resume his position in five field events. Seven other returning point getters should be a nucleus of a well balanced team. It is still too early to have the season’s meets planned, but the schedule will be simi¬ lar to those of previous years. Already one meet has been booked with Trinity College and another promised by Tufts College. Worcester Tech’s harriers had a good season this year, winning three out of six meets. With Gault, White, and Lacedonia starring, this team was one of the best the school has had in the past few years. The good supporting men should not be forgotten, either. The season opened with Worcester taking the meet at Union College, 23-34. Mac White came in first, doing very well in 20 minutes 5.2 seconds. Captain Gault followed soon after in third place. Then at Troy, the Worcester men were badly trounced, 16-44. Tech’s first man was Gault, run¬ ning fifth. Such a defeat was probably the result of a too confident team, although the fact that White and Lacedonia had cramps didn’t help any. A lighter side to the meet was watching Mac White slip off his shoe and finish barefoot because of a blister. But the Troy episode was avenged. The North¬ eastern harriers were completely shellacked by the Worcester men, 15-56. White and Gault tied first place at 20:20.4, with Lacedonia and Staples next in order. Perhaps all that can be said about the M. I. T. meet is that the Boston school had an excellent team, which simply outclassed Worcester ' s, 20-39. How¬ ever, Tech took the third, fifth, and ninth places. The team as a whole showed up best at Connecti¬ cut, making a score of 22-37. The second through seventh places were taken by Worcester’s men: Gault, White, Lacedonia, Whitney, Staples, and Hunt. Then, after losing next place, Holby and Chase followed. Because the team came in as a unit, the meet went to Worcester, although a Connecticut man finished first. The last meet, with Coast Guard, was lost, 24-35. Captain Gault, running his last race for Tech, came in first in 24:44. Mac White followed in third place, but then Coast Guard, like Tech at Connecticut, came in all together and took the meet. Wayne Garrison and Dan Rice, Navy freshmen, deserve mention for running their first race then and showing promise for next season. TECH 1 V “ rrrru 7 „ ce TECH Johnson. Coach, R. S. Chase, M K.

Four returning lettermen appeared at the qualifying rounds to substantiate the team’s high hopes. The veterans returning were Captain Clipper Hellig, a very consistent golfer with two years previous experience on the team; and three sophomores who had made the team in their freshman year and had played in most of the 1942 season’s matches, Ed Berndt, Bert Mills, and Jim Clerkin. In addition, Bob Duffy and Marty Flink, two holdovers from the previous year’s squad, and several freshmen were competing for positions on the team. For its opener, the team played host to the Boston University team at the Worcester Country Club. The match was very well played and ended in a 3-3 tie with Tech garnering three points in the first foursome and losing three in the second. Again playing on its home course, the team deadlocked with Brown University up from Providence, Rhode Island, at 3-3. In the final match of the season the team traveled to Boston to meet a veteran-packed M. I. T. squad at the Oakley Country Club and went down in defeat 5 to 1. Four members of the squad received letters. They were: Captain Clip Hellig, Ed Berndt, Jim Clerkin, and Bert Mills. The Worcester Tech tennis team completed its most success¬ ful season in several years, coming out victorious in all contests. Under Coach Higginbottom, and sparked by three veterans, George Kennedy, Phil Brown, and Lee Cordier, the combine displayed their superiority in all of the matches. The first game with Boston University was a walk-away, Tech winning 7-0. The next encounter, on May 1st with M. I. T., was rather close, but a determined Tech team took the honors 4-3. Four days later the sparkling Tech squad outplayed the Rhode Island courtmen in a contest which ended at 5-2. On May 8th Tech rolled over Tufts with the final score 5-2.
