With the Sophomore dip in Institute Pond, the tea dance, and apti¬ tude tests, which were the first of many to come, we were well started on our Tech career. It was one in which the class of ’45 was to excel both on the field and in the classroom. How well we have attained this goal has yet to be written, but the welcome accorded us and the timely advice offered by our faculty advisers certainly started us on the right path. On our first evening the supremely inferior Class of 1945, as the Sophomores would have us believe, were acquainted with the tradi- tions, songs, cheers, and Freshman Rules by the invincible Class of 1944. To be sure, we wore the black bow ties of the tie-it-yourself variety, the garters and the caps for awhile, but only in case we in¬ curred the wrath of the Sophomores. Just to prove how invincible our masters were, we organized under Bob Scott to win the Rope Pull and the Paddle Rush. In winning the Rope Pull, which for the first time was on dry land, we pulled the Sophomores clear to High¬ land Street, and most of our class claims that we would have con¬ tinued to Pleasant Street if the traffic light had not been against us. In spite of the fact that our freshman football team was only medi¬ ocre, it won the interclass football game to put us far out in front in the competition for the Goat’s Head. By winning the soccer game and the track meet from the Sophomores, we annexed the Class of 1893 Goat’s Head Trophy. Fraternity rushing commanded our interest that Fall because for two weeks the members of the Class of 1945 were kings. After a few pretty speeches and a bit of lead-piping, more than half of us clutched frantically at the opportunity to pledge to a fraternity. Our pro¬ spective brothers welcomed us with great satisfaction and the follow¬ ing week set us to waxing floors and polishing silver. For class officers we elected Bob Scott, president; Bob Edgerly, vice-president; Bob Neumeister, secretary; and Phil Sheridan, treasurer. About this time of year, the inevitable mid-year exams arrived, but most of us came out on top after our first skirmish with the faculty. Selective Service Registration and the general trend of world events made us a more serious group of returning Sophomores. Our new M. E. building was completely finished now, and many of us were wondering if we would ever get the chance to use such advanced equipment. We were determined to rule the Freshman class, how¬ ever, as was proven by the “pants pulling” and “mud-slinging” epi¬ sode outside of Salisbury and Sanford Riley hall. In fall sports our class was represented by Norige, Matzelevich, Fyler, Sheridan and Scott on the gridiron, and Flink and Baginski on the soccer field. Again we won the Paddle Rush but were rather embarrassed upon being dragged through Institute Pond in the Rope Pull. This defeat also enabled the lowly Freshman class to carry off the Goat’s Head. Then came the finals again, as they have a habit of doing. Even Doc Carpenter gave Hugo Norige, the strongest man in the class, an examination in the gym course along with the rest of us. The Interfraternity Ball came and went like that dream in the long flowing dress, and the long summer vacation was soon upon us. But a sombre note fell over Tech as the school was to return under Navy discipline. Schedules were reorganized as classes got under way July first. The Seniors were to graduate in February, 1944, and we in October, 1944. Returning as Juniors in the heat of summer, we found Tech to be a different place. We soon became accustomed to seeing Navy blue around the campus along with the three popular Chiefs, Creedon, McNulty, and Rogers. Again we led the classes in the number of players on the football and soccer teams. With the help of the three Chiefs, Coach Stagg had a season of four victories and two defeats, one of which was our first victory in two years. Nobody will ever forget the special victory; “Tech Trounced Harvard.” Those unfortunate fellows who were not able to pass the Navy physical were classified in i-A. Although we lost over half our class, most of us kept “hitting the books” with no idea as to whether we would ever graduate. Campus leaders for the senior year were chosen. Norige and Mat- zelevich were elected co-captains of football; Flink, captain of soc¬ cer; Kennedy, captain of tennis; Norige, captain of track; Kennedy and Sandberg, co-captains of swimming; and Kokulis, captain of baseball. Every Day of Effort for Education Is a Day of Effort for Victory and Peace” Ten men were pledged to Skull and three to Tau Beta Pi just be¬ fore the Seniors graduated. As the Navy was shipping out men with low grades, and the civilians were all being re-classified, we all left our Junior year with a question mark as to whether we would ever make it. About sixty of us came back for our Senior year which was to be far different than an ordinary peace-time senior year. By now there was great competition among the Senior depart¬ ments. The fighting but slightly outclassed E. E.’s were continuously challenging the M. E.’s and Ch. E.’s. Nobody will ever forget the way the E. E.’s dressed up with cigars and lipstick to meet the M. E.’s in a thrilling basketball game. The E. E.’s turned out to be the life of the campus while the M. E.’s stuck to blowing the top off the exhaust house of the Diesel engine. With only a half term to go, we all became a bit cocky. Our continual razzing of the Economics Department and the famous noise that signifies a “brown-noser” were things of the past. Now only three months remained; but several of our Seniors, being unable to finish, left to work in the Naval Ordinance Laboratory in Washington. This last exodus slashed our class from a total of 182 as freshmen to 54 who were fortunate enough to finish. During the last few weeks most of us neglected our studies for the first time. The E. E.’s had several parties; one was at Lake Quin- sigamond and the other was a week-end visit to Hampton Beach. From this time forward all we could think about was the Fall Formal, the football and soccer games, and graduation. The rest of the year was devoted to commencement preparations. President Scott and Commencement Chairman Kennedy with their committees have worked hard to make the banquet, baccalaureate, prom, class day, and commencement never-to-be-forgotten souvenirs of our college days. Now, as Seniors, looking back and reviewing the class as a whole, we can appreciate now if we have not before, the debt we owe the faculty at Tech for the training we have received. No matter what we are doing or where we are, we all have a common heritage—Tech Engineers. The story of the undergraduate days of the Class of 1945 draws to a close. Although we are graduating amid a most uncertain present, we all will always have friendship, honor, and gratitude to our Alma Mater in the future. Other Classes j u x i o n s The Class of ’46 Remember late September 1942? In Africa, the great El Alamein drive was just about to begin, while at Guadalcanal our forces were making the first move to push the Japs back. Late September, 1942 was the turning point of the war; but it was also the turning point of American college life. War, the draft boards, the Navy ... all seemed very far away that late September day when here at Worcester Tech the largest class in history of the Institute appeared to register. Of the 209 new men, many took up residence in Sanford Riley Hall, the freshman dormitory. A large crowd living together like that might become unruly at times, so a freshman dormi¬ tory committee was elected. It was composed of Irv Versoy, Charlie Schmit, Joe Gwiazdow- ski and Carl Simon. It was in one of these first-week meetings that Footsie” Wotton was elected temporary class president. The new class met its first test of strength in the fall Paddle Rush. The test was not very successful, the Sophomores having won by an overwhelming score. The ’46ers came back, however, in the Rope Pull, to drag the Sophs through the pond in four minutes flat, and then followed through with a 97-20 win in the inter-lass track meet. The picture of things to come, however, had cast its shadow on the Tech campus. On the evening of October 1 a joint Army, Navy and Marine board at an assembly in Alden explained their various college reserve programs. On No¬ vember 9 a number of men were sworn into the Navy, in that thing they call V-l.” The Tech Carnival, also held in the fall, afforded the ’46ers another outlet for their en¬ ergies. Under the direction of John Hawley the class presented Polly Was a Lady,” star¬ ring Bob Scott, president of the Sophomore class, who was kidnapped for the occasion. On November 21, Carl Simon was elected class president. Other officers were: Dick Ol¬ sen, vice-president; Dick Lawton, secretary; Herb Slaughter, treasurer; and Frank Holby, historian. On December 15 all enlistments in V-l and V-7 were closed. From this time on, the line between Navy man” and civilian” became more and more apparent. Shortly before Christmas, following two weeks of rushing, 131 Freshmen pledged to fra¬ ternities. Most of the men began to look for¬ ward to living in their Houses; but for the Navy men” that day was never to come. Then the draft boards struck! All during the winter and early spring the greetings came through, so that when the first blades of green appeared, there were only 148 Freshmen left. Meanwhile, the Navy selected Tech as a pos¬ sible training center. During these months the Freshmen were right in there pitching. Forty-two Freshmen attained honors, the class teams came through with wins in basketball and swimming, and the class ended the Frosh-Soph rivalry by winning the Goat’s Head award. Then the big Freshman family broke up, with all the men selecting their various courses. To the M. E. Department went 63 men; to Chem Engine, 31; to E. E., 24, and to Civil, 21. A few selected chemistry and physics. So ended the Freshman year. When the classes came back July 1, 1943, after four weeks vacation, they came back to a new and different Tech, for now uniforms spotted the campus. The Class of ’46 was once more enlarged, now totaling 180 men. Of this number 57 were Navy transfers. Most of these fellows were from Lafayette and General Mo¬ tors Institute. The total number of Navy men in the class was 102. As time went by, the new men and old men began to unite in common interests. The Rope Pull was the first big class event. This proved the seaworthiness of the ’46ers, for they crossed the pond in the record time of 2.833 minutes. A few weeks later, however, the Class of ’46 won the Paddle Rush, 37-33. Then came the Tech Carnival, and another victory for ’46. The skit this time centered around a dream of Tech being run by the students, with Charlie Mayer, Bob Bartlett, and Bill Dorman taking the leads. Around this time a new set of Sophomore Class officers was chosen. Carl Simon was again elected president, with A1 Kirschbaum vice-president; Walt Gleason, secretary; Herb Slaughter, treasurer; and Frank Holby, histo- In the spring of 1944 the class voted to have class rings, and orders were placed at that time. Inter-class competition died down, now that ’46 moved into the Junior position. In the Junior Class elections, Carl Simon was elected presi¬ dent for the third term, with Larry Stewart as vice-president; Jack Laffey, secretary; Herb Slaughter for the third time, treasurer; and Don Flohr, historian. The Class of ’46 has lost 156 of its 209 orig¬ inal members, and of the 53 that now remain there are but 11 civilians. Thanks to our Navy transfers, however, the class still is quite strong, with an enrollment of over a hundred. We are moving into our Senior year. In eight months the Class of ’46 will be gone. What will happen in the interim is the storp for the next Peddler; that of June, 1945. rian. William R.

This drop was because of the transfer of many Navy students to other colleges, and because of the former civilian members of our class who answered the call to their country’s service. Throughout our Sophomore year, we were ably led by Class President Harry Mehrer, who was assisted by Vice-President Irv McDonald, Secretary Mai Zink, Treasurer Danny Rice, and Historian Garry Hovanesian. The first event of major importance in this term was the Interfraternity Ball held on May 26 , followed the next day by the traditional Sophomore-Freshman Rope Pull. The Sopho¬ mores made short work of the greatly outclassed Freshman team; and, as the Sophomores pulled in unison, the Freshmen became acquainted with the frog’s domain as they oozed through Institute Pond in their not-to-be-forgotten splash party. This was the first time in twelve years that any sophomore class won the Rope Pull. The second semester began with the addition of several new Navy men to our class as second semester Sophomores, as well as a whole new class of first semester men. With the possible exception of a few men, who came in directly from the fleet, these were all transferred from other V-12 units. On July 27-28 the annual interclass track meet was easily won by the Sophomores as we defeated the Freshmen 75 to 42. Bob Adams was the high scorer for the Sophomores with 18 points which he won by taking a first in the dis¬ cus and shot put events, a second in the broad jump, and a three-way tie for first in the pole vault. Rudy Wehrli was second for the Soph¬ omores with ten points which he won by taking first i n the one-hundred and two-twenty-yard dashes. Other Sophomores on the track team were: Hamilton, Mehrer, Zink, Smith, Balaska, Jacobs, Dewire, Jevnikar, Meyers, Jones, and Ritter. Our team won first places in eight out of thirteen events. The swimming meet was held on August 31. In spite of several handicaps to our team, the Sophomores won the meet by the score 44 to 27 to keep our perfect record of victories over the Freshmen intact. The Sophomore swim¬ ming team was captained and coached by the very capable A. C. Kellermann. He not only whipped the team into shape, but also swam three events with a broken wrist. Others on our team were Adrian, C. A. Mitchell, who swam three events, C. R. French and L. Rog¬ ers, who swam two events apiece, Davis, Dozier, Meyers, and Ham. Our star diver, R. H. Ad¬ ams, suffered a leg injury the night before the meet and was confined to sickbay. In spite of this, the Freshmen so greatly feared the poten¬ tialities of the Sophomore divers that they ceded the diving events without even trying. Judging from the athletic records of the Sophomore-Freshman competition, it is with¬ out doubt that the Freshmen were very fortu¬ nate that hazing was not allowed officially this year; for it would only have added to their embarrassment. Although, at the time of this writing, the Sophomore-Freshman competition is not over, the Sophomores are quite confident of victories in the remaining contests; the football game, the Paddle Rush, the Tech Carnival, and the soccer game.

P. I. After much rigamarole, many speeches, and a bewildering day of rushing, our civilian group became full-fledged members of the Class of 1948. Our Navy members are the elite of the unit. Many of them proudly wear ribbons which show that they have visited many parts of the globe. While our civilian element comprises one of the youngest classes ever to enter Tech, our Navy members are per¬ haps the oldest group to enter in a long time. Because of this difference in age, and the fact that the Navy men live far from the civilians, who, themselves, are divided with regard to living quarters, we have not been an active class. Having elected Allen Breed, Ed” Hinldey, Mai” Johnson, and George Philip to direct the affairs of the class, we soon found a dance planned for us. This dance was well attended, and all who went seem to have enjoyed it. Soon afterward, these same four men made and executed plans for a picnic, also well attended. Because of our small number, and the fact that many of us are young, we have not done very well in interclass competition. When Rope Pull time came, we found that the spring formal, and a beautiful week-end had contrib¬ uted to a scarcity of men. Even the spirited heave-hos of A. P.” Jackson could not strengthen the thirty-three Freshmen, who were pulling for all their worth, enough to dunk the forty Sophomores on the other end of the rope. As a consequence, we found ourselves emerg¬ ing from the Sophomore side of Institute Pond covered with mud. Our weakness because of small numbers again showed itself when we suffered a terrific trouncing in track. The swim¬ ming meet was lost to the Sophomores after a bitter struggle in which many of the Freshmen swam in two or three events. Between the dates of the track meet and the swimming meet, the Goat’s Head disappeared from Alumni Gymnasium. It was rumored that the Class of 1948 had stolen it. In order to remove any doubt, we admit having stolen it, and we, by showing our skill in football, soccer, and other interclass sports, plan to keep it. FRESHMEN HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1949A As with all things in wartime, Tech has felt decided shortages of many commodities, as is witnessed by the fact that there is an ever dim¬ inishing number of civilian students. Despite the Navy V-12 Unit, enrollments at Tech have been below capacity. To bolster the diminish¬ ing civilian personnel, a class was admitted in March, and another in July. As the extra A” implies, there is something special about this particular class. In addition to being out of step with the other classes, it also went through a one-day fraternity-rushing period on its reg¬ istration day, and by night most of the out-of- town men were lodged in fraternities. It is ru¬ mored that the Class of ’49A will merge with the November freshmen, the Class of ’49B, and some time in the future they together will become the Class of 1949. Although the class was small, ’49A contains its quota of relatives of Tech men (three alumni sons), and it also contains three ex-service men. Soon after arriving, the freshmen, junior- grade,” discovered that the sophomores, being few in number, could not do an effective job of hazing. However, the Class of ’48 was called in to pinch-hit, and after a short hazing period, ’49 men continued their regular Tech courses as regular” Tech men.

SCOTT WALTER P. MATZELEVICH MARTIN R. FLINK, Jr. Skull, the senior honorary society on the Hill, was founded in the year 1911 for the purpose of organizing the leaders in a sustained effort to further Tech spirit and to stimulate undergraduate interest in campus activities. Because it’s membership is limited to men of outstanding personality and ability, Skull men do much toward influencing the student opinions on the campus. The meetings of this group are held in the utmost secrecy in the Skull Tomb, located in the south¬ east corner of the campus. The only public ceremony of the Skull is the pledging of new members. There is a terrific element of suspense present at this ceremony since the choice of candidates is a closely guarded secret, and remains so until the new members are actually tapped.” Tapping usually occurs two months before graduation, and is held at a special assembly in Alden Memorial. The deeply impressive tapping ceremony is witnessed by all four classes and the faculty. The respect which Tech shows for this group is shown by the silence of the assembled body. Each member of Skull, dressed in a dignified black robe, descends from the stage in his turn, and slowly, deliberately, passes among the students. After seemingly endless hesitation, the member finds the honored man and strikes him firmly on the shoulder. The pledge is then escorted to the stage where he is presented a pledge pin by the president of Skull. Thus, from the day he enters Tech, it is one of the ambitions of every Tech student to be deemed worthy of someday wearing the distinguishing white cap and gold pin that indicates a member of this honorary society, Skull. EDWARD C. BERNDT, Jr. HAROLD FLEIT PHILIP H. SHERIDAN ANSON C. FYLER PAUL N. KOKUL ' IS FRANK C. BAGINSKI Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell University in 1886 for the purpose of recognizing those undergraduate stu¬ dents who have shown by their high scholarship and achievements promise as future scientists in the field of research. Since its foundation the society has grown to its present membership of over 20,000. The local chapter, founded in 1908, holds several meetings each year at which current developments and general topics of science are discussed. Undergraduate students in their senior year are chosen for membership by the faculty members. Graduate stu¬ dents are selected for full membership by special recom¬ mendation on the basis of their actual accomplishments in research. During the past year thirteen associate and seven full members were chosen. Several noteworthy talks were given during the year, among which The Fuel on Which We Will Ride and Fly in the Future’’ by Charles O. Brown, and Adven¬ tures in Biological Engineerings’’ by Dr. Hudson Hoag- land were especially outstanding. At the last meeting of the current year, Dr. Harlow Shapley, national presi¬ dent of Sigma Xi, gave a brief but excellent talk on the aims and principles of the society. First Row, left to right : E.

Its purpose is to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor to their Alma Mater by dis¬ tinguished scholarship and exemplary character as un¬ dergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering.” Since 1885, Tau Beta Pi has become the largest honorary fraternity for undergraduate engineers in the country with more than fifty chapters in the leading technical colleges. Members are selected from the upper fifth of the Senior class and the upper eighth of the Junior class. Elections for membership are held twice a year.

The Interfraternity Council was organized at Tech in 1911, four years later becoming a member of the National Interfraternity Council. The Council is composed of one rep¬ resentative from each fraternity on the Hill and two faculty members. The chief function of the Council is to promote a closer relationship between the fraternities, the faculty, and the student body. Regular meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month, with each of the houses taking its turn as host. Special meetings are called by the chair¬ man whenever such business arises as to necessitate immediate action. One of the biggest jobs which confronts the Council in these war-time years is the planning and supervision of fraternity rushing. Since the last three classes admitted to Tech were unable to stay at the dormitory, rushing had to take place immediately upon their arrival. In an attempt to keep all of the houses functioning, a quota system was devised by the Council whereby each fraternity received a fair share of the new men. The rushing proper took place in one day. This time factor was the basis of most of the complaints against the system. It is hoped that more time will be available for the rushing of future classes. Among its other activities, the Interfraternity Council sponsors interfraternity sports, and aids in every way to keep social activities as near their normal peace-time pace as possible.

The Tech News Association is now beginning its 34th year of activity on the Hill and has devel¬ oped into a paper that can stand its ground against the best in the country. Now that the Navy has moved in, the Association is working together under a combined leader¬ ship, editing a paper that represents a balanced account of the school’s and naval unit’s activities. Now, with the lack of time and money, the News has been forced to adopt a bi-weekly policy, which they hope will not continue for long. With the naval atmosphere on the campus, the News felt the need of a more “salty” air in its columns, which recently resulted in the establishment of the popular Scuttlebutt Harbor.” The enthusiasm for the column and its human interest has caused another new column to blossom forth in the name of Around the Hill.” Its editorials have been greatly instrumental in relating to the faculty and outsiders, the sentiments of the student body. The paper has tried to present in its editorials the true feelings of students about incidents on the Hill, which might be improved by the school. Also, Letters to the Editor” has furnished another organ for the outlet of student sentiments. With another year ahead of it, the Tech News promises to do its utmost to put out a paper that the school can be proud of. MEWS TECH PEDDLER Each year the new staff attempts to present to the student body a yearbook of which they can be proud and will enjoy reading in the years to come. This year’s staff undertook its task and was faced with more and greater difficulties than most other staffs. The editor-elect and a good part of the staff had been drafted. Besides the depleted staff there was the everfelt fact that the budget was materially cut because of reduced advertising and subsidies. In spite of the circumstances the staff undertook the job with a willing hand and believes that this year’s book is as good as any in the past years. No limit of credit is due George Kennedy who supervised the entire sports section, and invented or directed the preparation of many of the features which we think make this book unusual. With¬ out his help, it would have been impossible to publish the book. The business and advertising end of production was handled by Dutch Sturtevant and Jack Bayer. Both had to work almost single- handed to complete the work entailed in their departments. The financial success of the Peddler was possible through the work of their staffs. El Smith handled the photographic work this year, arranging groups, collecting candids, and working with Mr. Paul Savage, who is responsible for our group pictures this year. Our really great debt of thanks is due the members of the Skull who, realizing that the Peddler suffered from lack of personnel, volunteered their time and talent on all the staffs, to assure that the school yearbook would appear. Their help was invaluable this year; it was a most worthwhile manifestation of the purpose of the Skull. The cooperation of Miss Gertrude R. Rugg and Prof. Herbert F. Taylor, while nothing new to Peddler staffs, was more needed and more appreciated this year than ever. To the members of the lower classes who helped in the preparation of material for the book, whether they were officially on the staff or just manifesting school spirit in their assistance, and especially to Ed Pendleton who assigned and collected most of the copy, we give our recognition. This year again, the work of the staff was greatly assisted by Mr. Russell Knight and Mr. William O’Connor of the Stobbs Press. Their professional experience and advice were of great aid in the preparation and arrangement of material. To our faculty advisor. Prof. Paul Swan, goes our sincere thanks. His advice, together with the knowledge of how and where to get things on the campus, were indispensable. The staff thanks all who contributed toward the publication of this 1945 Peddler. The willing¬ ness to cooperate on the part of the faculty and students was greatly appreciated and was a true picture of Tech spirit. First Row , left to right ' . G. Gregory, P. Kokulis, G.

Christian Association The Student Christian Association, which is primarily a service organization for all Tech men regardless of their denomination, functioned again this year but on a limited budget. The cabinet was composed primarily of Seniors and Juniors who were chairmen on the four committees which subdivide the cabinet. These committees are Campus Service, Social Activity, Assembly, and Community Service. Professor Paul R. Swan, permanent treasurer and faculty adviser, was once again at the helm of the organization. Although limited to a degree in furthering its primary ideal, the cabinet presented to the student body, monthly assemblies in Alden Memorial. Local clergymen were invited to speak as well as authorities in the fields of education, world politics, and science. The purposes of the assemblies were the furtherance of Christian ideals and also the affording for the students an outlet from the daily routine. With a surplus from previous years, the S. C. A. maintained the pool room equipment and provided the students with current magazines as well as several daily newspapers in Sanford Riley Hall. The cabinet sponsors yearly the Tech Carnival which is a dramatic competition between the Freshmen and the Sophomores. Since the S. C. A. is a cog in the machinery of the New England and World Christian Associations, several opportunities were presented to the cabinet members to attend con¬ ferences sponsored by these groups. Here an exchange of ideas and ideals was accom¬ plished, thus building a more firm and steady organization on the campus. C D U IV C I L TECH The Tech Council, one of the most important organizations on the campus, is the con¬ necting link between the student body and the faculty. Its main object is to further the interests of the Institute in all possible ways. The Council has two classes of membership, ex-officio and elective. The ex-officio members are the president of the Institute and the presidents of the classes, clubs, and associations on the Hill. The elective members consist of two faculty members and ten undergraduate members elected from the respective classes, the president of the Council being a senior who is elected by the entire student body. Regular meetings are held bi-monthly in the Green Room in Alden Memorial. At these meetings the Council discusses and attempts to solve in a cooperative and efficient manner all questions, problems, and complaints brought to its attention. In addition to serving as a guiding body, the Council has control of many of the undergraduate activities. It has the power to establish election dates for all classes, assumes the direct control of all freshman hazing activities, and sponsors college rallies and dances. Due to the presence of the Navy on the campus the Council has had additional duties in helping to coordinate the Navy and civilian programs. This year temporary changes were made in the Tech Council constitution so that it might conform to the accelerated program. The changes also gave the Senior class another representative on the Council. The Tech Council is a merger of faculty representatives and student leaders. In this manner all the student activities are brought under the guidance and control of a unified central organization. First Row, left to right: H. Fleit, W. Matzelevich, II. Rice, W Cluverius, D.

The Band, under the able direction of Bill” Lynch, has succeeded in providing for the nth year the tops in musical entertainment and expression. The boys will be especially remembered for their excellent performance at the concert with the glee club from Framingham State Teachers; their rendition of a circus band during the big show,” ballyhoo included; and their presentation of the Overture of William Tell” with Bill” on the xylophone. Many of the members, having rediscovered the joys of music, through the band, have organized an all-Navy band for drilling on Saturday mornings, and a school dance band under the direction of the band’s very capable cornet soloist, Charlie Richardson. Bill” promises a place in next year’s band to anyone interested in playing, and also promises a wide variety of music so that everyone’s musical tastes may be satisfied. First Row, left to right ' .

At the middle of this year, the Boyntonians lost three key men when Mai Hunt, Chet Snow, and Leon Lidofsky left these halloed walls (c’est le guerre). The reorganization, under Charlie Rich¬ ardson’s direction, then took place around a nucleus of veterans whom you’ll all remember: Mai Morrison on the ivories, Bud Eaton and Howie France in the brass section, and Bo Lutts at lead alto. Filling out the demand for new talent are Eddie George and Mai Sanborn, trumpets; Doug Coon, trombone; Don Taylor, Ed Zieve, and Dick Brown in the sax section; and for rhythm, Dick Moore on the guitar and Ronnie Paris beating the skins. There are also two new co-managers, Don Eteson and Jerry O’Neil. The band is looking forward to a successful fall and winter season. BOYNTONIANS GLEE ELUB First Row, left to right: E. Ritter, P.

The shift in per¬ sonnel has been large, but the activity and interest is as great as ever. The club, at present, is com¬ posed of about two-thirds Navy V-12 men. The civilians round out the number and with their greater experience add much to the quality of the organization. In the past year the Glee Club performed in several concerts. One of the most enjoyable times in the past few years was had by all who took part in the concert at Simmons. In the spring two concerts were shared with the Glee Club of Framingham State Teachers College. With Mr. Clifford Green directing, the club was held together throughout the summer. There were no concerts given during the summer semester, since no women’s colleges had active clubs. It is planned that the Glee Club will have a very active and interesting fall and winter season.

X A U TI C A L CLUB Under the able leadership of John Hossack, commodore, the Nautical Club has shown great improvement in the past year. It has sailed ninety-nine races in eight regattas with such competition as Coast Guard, Yale, Harvard, M. I. T., Brown and Holy Cross. Interest and enthusiasm have been high throughout the year with the result that membership has more than doubled and the club has become entirely self-supporting. Several much appreciated donations have been made to the club for the purpose of improving the practicing facilities. It has also received a standing invi¬ tation from Coast Guard for a dual meet. In the past, the Nautical Club has been an Associate Member of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association, but it has recently applied for full membership. First Row, left to right: C.

OUTING CLUB The Outing Club’s chief activity is that of sponsoring Worcester Tech’s ski team. This season was drastically curtailed due to wartime traveling conditions, but, nevertheless, three successful meets were held. The season was opened with a four-team downhill and slalom race at Mt. Wachu- sett, followed by the Scandinavian Ski Club Invitation Cross-Country and Jumping Meet. The season was highlighted by Tech’s participation in the gala, two-day Dartmouth Winter Car¬ nival, held annually at Hanover, N. H. There, Tech skied against the best college teams in the East, and gave a very commendable performance. Full use was made of the club’s ski room in the basement of Stratton Hall. Ample facilities for ski storage, waxing, and repairing are provided. Bill Densmore served in the dual capacity of team captain and club president, assisted by Bob Lewis, Jack Hegeman, and Cush Bozenhard, as vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively.

COSMDPDLITAI CLUB The Cosmopolitan Club is one of Tech’s oldest social organizations. It originated as a get- together” for foreign students who wished to exchange bits of information about their homelands; but, with the war and the decreased foreign enrollment, the membership has been widened to include anyone interested in the life and customs of other countries. The speakers include students, pro¬ fessors, and occasionally an outside man with something of interest from abroad. Formerly, an informal discussion and refreshments followed the talk. The meetings were often held in faculty homes, but naval bounds and time limits have cut out the extras and have made Navy men double time it to get in by 2000. Despite the reduced membership, the Cosmopolitan Club has carried on with twenty students under the guiding hand of Professor Scheifley and is looking forward to brighter horizons with the return of foreign students to Tech. NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club, which takes its name from John Cardinal Newman, prominent English churchman, was organized in 1915 by Dr. Charles J. Burns, for the purpose of promoting Catholic culture and Catholic fellowship” among the students of the Roman Catholic faith. This year, although most clubs were finding their membership falling, the Newman Club had the largest membership in several years. Talks and question periods with the club chaplain, and a Communion breakfast at Putnam and Thurston’s were part of the summer program. The club began the school year under our chaplain, Father Daniel Cronin, assistant priest at the ' Immaculate Conception Church. Father Cronin was transferred to Pittsfield and Father Henry Brabson of that city has been appointed our new chaplain. This year, George V. Uihlein was president of the club; William R. Grogan was vice-president; George H. Conley, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Frederic R. Butler is faculty advisor of the club. First Row, left to right: W. Grogan, W. Conlin, A. Pingalore, E. Berndt, J.

American Institute of Chemical Engineers In 1940 the Chemical Engineering Society of Worcester Polytechnic Institute was formed by the faculty and students and two years later this society was accepted as a member in the American Institution of Chemical Engineers. The main purposes of this club are to promote interest in the various branches of Chemical Engin¬ eering, and to introduce its members to the professional association to which they belong. In order to accomplish this, meetings were held twice a month at which well known engineers lectured and demonstrated on the latest development in their field. Besides these lectures the students received a subscription to the Student Chapter Bulletin. During this past year the chapter has been inactive and the organization has had no chance to present these opportunities to the members of the Chemical Engineering Department, but it is hoped that the chapter will soon become active. American Institute nf Electrical Engineers The American Institute of Electrical Engineers received its start when a group of men decided that the college student should have more than classroom knowledge and that upon graduation the young engineer should maintain close contact with a number of his engineering colleagues. The A. I. E. E. has accomplished this by having a student branch at the Institute. This student branch meets several times a year with the Worcester section of the professional organization and also has its own private meetings. Speakers that are considered specialists in their respective fields have been obtained to present lectures to either or both groups, whenever possible. An example of this is the discussion on Power Dissipation by Mr. Corey, chief dispatcher of the New England Power Company. The student branch at this time wishes to extend its sincere thanks to Prof. Victor Siegfried, who for the past several years has been its faculty advisor. Professor Siegfried is now leaving the Institute to take his place in industry. American Snciety nf Eivil Engineers The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded as a local engineering society in 1903 to acquaint the civil engineering students with the problems and the projects in their field. In 1921 it became affiliated with the national student chapter of the A. S. C. E. The program of the society has been hampered this year. There has been great difficulty in getting engineers to speak on their projects, since these projects are usually rushed, and the jobs take up all of the engineers’ time. Films on various government construction projects have not yet been released since, in many cases, the projects themselves or the methods of construction are still military secrets. The officers of the A. S. C. E. are A1 Rothwell, President; Bob Hayward, Vice-President; Larry Stewart, Secretary; Charles Morse, Treasurer. American Snciety nf Mechanical Engineers The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is comprised of the faculty and students of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Regular monthly meetings are held at which time leaders in the engineering world present talks and discussions in order to acquaint the members with the latest developments in the various branches of Mechanical Engineering. Due to the uncertainty of exist¬ ing conditions, only two meetings were held during the past semester. The first of these was a lecture given by Mr. Moore of the Fairbanks Morse Company which dealt with various types of Diesel engines and their application as marine and stationary power plants. The guest speaker at the second meeting was Mr. Holley, a patent attorney, who gave an interesting talk on the different phases of patent laws, and the possibilities of an engineer making a career in this field. Members of the association also receive the monthly publication of the Mechanical Engineering Magazine. First Row, left to right : E. Higginbottom, A. Rankin, P. Carpenter, A. Knight, H. Taylor.

The Tech eleven of 1944 under the tutelage of Coach Stagg and assistants, Chiefs McNulty, Creedon and Rogers, face the coming season with bright prospects. With the graduation of the class of 1944 went five men who saw much service on the gridiron for Tech. Nick Economou, Marty Pierson, Ray Herzog, Don Buser and Sumner Alperin are the men who were absent when practice began this fall. However, among the lettermen who returned to fill this gap were: Co-Captain Hugo Norige, pile driving fullback; Co-Captain Walt Matzelevich, mammoth tackle; Charley Schmit, a slight, speedy tailback; Ans Fyler, a convert from blocking back to guard; Bob Scott and Ed Stokel, both sturdy ends; Georgie Ferrara, a mighty mite at guard; Billy Gagas, a stalwart at center, and Carl Simon, quarterback. Others returning who saw much action last year and who helped make the previous season so successful were: Art Rosenquest, Bud Laverty, George Kennedy, Harry Mehrer, John Landers, Phil Henning and Don Ferguson. Several newcomers who impressed onlookers at the first practice sessions were: George Greuser, from Miami U. in Ohio, who plays a terrific game at tackle; Duane Piscura, also from Miami, who plays end; Howie Green, a Worcester boy, and Augie Kellerman, a transfer from Yale. Again this year, Tech held two scrimmages with Holy Cross and provided Coach Stagg an opportunity to get a line’’ on the fellows. The results were exceedingly prom¬ ising, but there was an indication of a lack of reserve strength; however, before the first game with Union, a newcomer, much progress was made. First Row, left to right : J. Laffey, H. Fleit, R. Twitchell. Co-captain, H. Swenson, Co¬ captain, A. Stowe, C. Sclimit. Second Row, left to right: A. Gault. Manager, G. Collins, J. Corf, B. Mills, R. Lawton, C. Hathaway, C. Simon, Jr., P. Stagg, Coach. This season Coach Paul Stagg’s Tech hoopsters” turned in a split season of six wins and six losses. This, however, proved to be only a fair season since basketball is one of Tech’s strongest sports. The quintet was made up of the following starters: Jack” Laffey and Bob” Twitchell at forwards; Howie” Swenson and Charlie” Schmit at guards, and Hal” Fleit at center. This is the same lineup that was used the season before so it was a bit disappointing to the Tech fans to see that the season wasn’t more successful. The season started out December 11th against Lowell General Hospital, a service team, and it was an easy game for Tech since they led all the way and ended up on the long end of a 66 to 58 score. However, the Hoopers” then fell into a real slump and dropped the next four games in a row: to the University of Connecticut 48 to 36, to Trinity 44 to 40, to Rensselaer 52 to 45, and to Tufts 56 to 55 in an overtime thriller. None of these defeats were very serious, and Tech was never outclassed, but they just didn’t seem to get the breaks. Also, a very important factor was the fact that in these games Tech failed to convert more than half of their free throws. After this streak, the Techsters came back and pounced on M. I. T. to win 47 to 30, and Northeastern 57 to 47. The next game was with Tufts and Tufts again tripped Tech, this time 48 to 45. The next two games were split, winning from Brown 44 to 41, and losing to Coast Guard 42 to 33. As the season drew to a close, the next to the last game was with a long-lost rival—yes! Holy Cross. The game was played with the Alumni Gym packed to the rafters with spectators. Spark plug” of this game was Hal” Fleit, who scored twenty points before being taken out three minutes after the start of the second half. Tech led 26 to 20 at the half, and Tech ended up by winning 55 to 47. The final game was played with Harvard and Tech won 48 to 43. BASKETBALL SOCCER When the initial call for candidates for the soccer team went out early in August, the pr ospects for a successful season certainly looked anything but promising. Gone from last year’s outstanding backfield were such well known Tech names as Twitched, Swen¬ son, Moulton, Thompson, Petersen, and Fitzer, and in their places were left only the veterans of the front line, Baginski, Flink, Zink and Krackenberger and a handful of inexperienced backfield men. Only two weeks after scrimmaging got underway, Coach Higginbottom was dealt another savage blow when Krackenberger left for the armed services and fifteen other candidates, including several first team players, were declared ineligible due to scholastic difficulties. With only a week left to put another Tech edition of a soccer team on the field before the first game with Wesleyan, the prospects, which had begun to look up, once again took a decided turn for the worst. After much experimenting, Higgie brought Metzger up to the front line to replace Mannie Renasco, the Nicaraguan star, and Renasco went back to fill the vacancy in the goal. With these changes, and the introduction of George Brown and Jimmie Bush into the backfield, a Tech team was prepared for its opener on September 9th with Wesleyan. Following this game, such teams as Brown, FTarvard, R. P. I., Coast Guard and British sailors were engaged. Although the team itself did not measure up to the par of previous Tech teams in experience and ability, the presence of Captain Marty Flink and Frank Baginski in the lineup provided lots of reasons for the opposition to worry. Flink, with his powerful kicking and consistent scoring, and Baginski, with his feeding to the other members of the front line and his general all-around scoring punch, proved themselves invaluable for the Tech cause. With these two men as a nucleus Coach Higginbottom rounded out an outfit that in spite of pre-season troubles developed into a very promising aggregation. First Row, left to right : G. Brown, M.

SWIMMING With swimming season only a few months away there is hope that a team can be formed to break the jinx that has brought defeat to Tech’s mermen for the past three years. The answer to Coach Grant’s prayer would be a large squad with distributed talents. The lack of numbers, not ability, has spelled defeat more than once in the last few seasons. The men available were forced to swim too many events, instead of con¬ centrating on their particular specialty. Under Coach Grant’s tutelage, Co-captain Sandberg showed great improvement in the free-style events, and led the team in point score. Someone must be found to take his place, as well as that of Co-captain Kennedy, who has represented Tech on the diving board for the past three years. The captain-elect is Metzger, who has placed consistently in the backstroke for the past two years. The remainder of the team will be drawn from Navy transfers and fresh¬ men, many of whom have already shown their ability in the interclass meet. First Row, left to right-. R. Martin, Jr., E.

Under the leadership of Coach Paul Stagg the varsity baseball team was victorious in four of its eight games. Tech started the season on April 22 against Northeastern and managed to win a close one, 2 to 1. In the second game Tech came from behind in a high scoring game to defeat Brown, 9 to 7. Brown took the lead in the third, but the engineers retaliated by scoring two in the fifth and two in the sixth to win. In a home and home series with Trinity, Tech lost the first one on May 6, 8 to 2. The engineers’ only score came in the fourth when Kellerman drove in Simon and Laffey. Although outhit in the next game 14 to 8, Tech made the most of its scoring oppor¬ tunities and defeated the soldiers from the 707 A. A. Unit, 11 to 9- Tech’s next opponents were the Camp Thomas Seabees who boasted several semi- pro and ex-pro players. After getting two runs in the second, Tech was held scoreless and went down to defeat to the tune of 8 to 2. On May 27, the engineers were outhit by Middlebury and lost another close one, 5 to 4. In the second game with Trinity the engineers traveled to Hartford and played their best game of the season. Pitcher Kokulis allowed one hit and, backed by errorless fielding, defeated Trinity 6 to 0. The team finished its season when they played Camp Thomas at Davisville, R. I. The engineers were held scoreless until the fourth. In the fifth Laffey made a two-run homer which tied the score. They also collected one in the sixth and two in the seventh, but the opposition was too strong and Tech lost, 8 to 7. The starting lineup had Captain Kokulis, who pitched all of Tech’s games, as pitcher; Kellerman and Ferguson at catch; Simon at first; Laffey at short; Schmit at second; Kosso at third; Fyler in right; Stokel in center, and Sullivan in left.

Missing from picture : J. Maloney. Like all other fall sports, the cross-country team got off to an early start this year. A sizable turnout, led by Captain Lacedonia, answered the call early in August, and have been getting in shape by daily trips over the varsity course. All indications point to a good season although such runners as A1 Gault and Mac White have been lost to the team. The season opens September 16 against Harvard. This should prove a good test for the team before encountering some of its lesser rivals. Also included on the schedule are R. P. I., M. I. T., Coast Guard, Tufts, and Connecticut. If the newcomers shape up to expectations the harriers should have a well-balanced squad which will be a match for any of their opponents. CROSS COUNTRY TRACK The 1944 season opened with five veteran lettermen returning who Coach Johnston hoped would spark a winning track team. W” men, Captain Norige, Bob Blouin, Frank Baginski, Mac White, and Walt Matzelevich were a big factor in the team’s point getting, but too strong opposition managed to eke out victories over the home team in three out of the four meets held. Tech took the short end of the scores: Trinity 80 to 46, M. I. T. 81 1-3 to 44 2-3, Brown 76 to 49. However, the team did end the season in a blaze of glory as it shellacked the Middlebury team by a score of 101 y 2 to 24y 2 - Fine support was received from several newcomers who showed marked improve¬ ment as the season progressed. New men who won W’s” for their performances were H. Mehrer, R. Adams, M. Lacedonia, M. Hunt, L. Brooks, R. Chase, R. Nietert, W. Striker, R. Wehrli, G. Woodsum, J. Taylor, and Manager C. Shattuck. Captain Norige ended his college track career in a championlike manner. Con¬ sistently winning three first places in each of the scheduled meets during the season, Hugo hit his peak when he copped top individual scoring honors at the annual New Eng¬ land Intercollegiate Meet at Boston. Captain Noreegee” took first places in the shotput and discuss and a second place in the javelin for the winning total of 13 points. First Row, left to right: M. Zink, R- Hayward, M. Hunt, W.

Three returning lettermen appeared for the tryouts to substantiate the team ' s high hopes. The veterans returning were Captain George Kennedy, Larry Stewart, and Charlie Oickle, all of whom had outstanding records in both high school and college. Tech’s other regular team member was A1 Twing who had played for Lafayette the preceding year. In addition to those mentioned above Green, Densmore, and Bartlett were competing for positions on the team. For its opener the team played M. I. T. here. The match was very well played with Tech on the losing end by a four to three score. In the next two matches the boys demonstrated their power by defeating Harvard and Camp Endicott by sizable scores. The final matches of the season resulted in another four to three loss to M. I. T., and a decisive victory over Brown. Kennedy and Stewart proved outstanding during the season in that each lost only one match, and as partners in doubles closed their second undefeated year, having won eleven straight matches against some of the strongest opposition in this section. Those receiving letters were Kennedy, Stewart, Oickle, Twing, and Green. TENNIS Administration and Faculty t The Trustees Albert J. Gifford, Treasurer Treasurer, Leland-Gifford Co.

OPENING NEW INDUSTRIAL HORIZONS THRU OPTICS Tomorrow’s industrial complexities and refinements will call for more exacting analysis and measurement. As future engineers, many of you Worcester Polytechnic students will have an advantage in coping with these new problems because of your understanding of optics. Although a very old science, the application of optics in industry has been meager because few have had the know-how to apply it effectively. Worcester Polytechnic is well equipped to acquaint its students with the possibilities of harnessing optical apparatus to industrial advance¬ ment. We at AO know many of the remarkable things that optics can accomplish and we believe that those who put this science to work will lead the way in opening new horizons for themselves and industry.

It is a vital factor in the manu¬ facture of airplanes, tanks, guns, rifles, ships, trucks and the many other products necessary for victory. The abrasive most widely used in grinding wheels is the aluminum oxide type, made by Norton under the trade¬ mark “ALUNDUM.” In arc type electric furnaces at the Norton plant near Niagara Falls, the mineral bauxite from mines in Arkansas is fused at 3700 F. into Alun- dum abrasive. Then at the giant plant in Greendale it is made into grinding wheels and other abrasive products —also into refractories for handling heat. Another Norton abrasive, trade-marked “CR t STOL¬ ON,” is made by fusing silica sand and coke in resistance type electric furnaces. NORTON COMPANY Worcester 6, Mass.
