His wise sense of humor and purposeful industry helped lead student and alumni activities toward the fulfillment of his vision — a bigger and better Worcester Tech. SENIOR CLASS HISTDRY PREAMBLE The arrival of the Class of ’47 on the campus was not, at that time, a very significant event. But to the forty one of us who sat in Alden Audi¬ torium, barely filling the first two rows of the spacious hall, it was an all-important day: the start of our college life at Tech. The history of our class is a phantom history. While its pages were being written in the Book of Time, and its frontispiece dedicated with a welcoming speech by President Cluverius, the men who were to write the final pages of the class history (as Fate and the Gods of War willed it) were scattered to the four corners of the earth, working to bring the final day of victory nearer. Yes, truly, this is a class without a history, for it is a history which almost all its members will be reading here for the first time .... THE HISTORY (In Fantasy) Scene: A famous Institution for the cure of those afflicted with the peculiar disease known as “Am¬ nesia Collegi”. The door suddenly opened, and the beaming face of the be-whiskered medical examiner smil¬ ingly said, “Step in.” The Class of ’47 rose from his seat and walked through the door marked, “Parole Board, W.P.I.” “Sit down.” the M.D. said cordially. “You may consider yourself fully recovered,” the doc went on. “You have completely regained your loss of memory.” With the signing of an impressive looking sheep¬ skin document the doctor once more spoke. “Yes, it’s all over. And now that this paper has been signed, you will be free to leave the In¬ stitute to take your place in industry.” “But, doc,” the Class of ’47 replied. “What has happened to me in the three years since I was committed to this Institute? Are those three years lost to me forever?” “No, son,” the old doctor answered. “It’s all right here in the book of time. And a mighty fine history it is, too.” “Let’s see. Ah, here it is—on page one. The Class of ’47 entered the Institute on July 1, 1944. But, no. Above that is the date November 1, 1944. Looks as if we’re not too sure when it was you did enter here as a class! Well, be that as it may, those first few days were pretty rugged for you. You went around to six or seven fraternity houses that first day. Then, on the following day, you went back to your top three houses, made your final selection, and moved into the house of your choice that same evening. The following day your scholastic life began at Tech, and the forty-first man waiting in line to get loaded down with books, T-square, and draw¬ ing board at the old book store in Higgins un¬ doubtedly griped as loudly as if the line had been two hundred men long.” “I remember vaguely trying to tie those cussed bow ties, and walking to classes with my pants rolled above my knees because I wasn’t wearing garters,” the class of ’47 interrupted with a remin¬ iscent smile. “Hazing was pretty half-hearted on the part of the Sophomores,” the doc said, perhaps a little ruefully. “But it did instill in you your first feel¬ ing of class spirit.” “I remember sitting through one of Doc Masius’ recitation periods in a cold sweat praying that I wouldn’t be called on once when I hadn’t pre¬ pared the homework assignment,” the class of ’47 spoke again. “Yes, those were the good old days,” the doc reflected. “Those winter days went by fast, and Christmas vacation came and went. “When you got back, the basketball season was in full swing. That was the year that Tech trounc¬ ed Harvard by a score of 60 to 37. You had Bill Longmuir and Don Macauley playing for the team that year.” “One game I can remember,” said the Class of ’47 1 “was the game with Holy Cross. That really was the wild game, Tech lost finally, 64 to 47, but the game was all tied up at 41-41 at the end of the third quarter.” “Then there was the social side too. The big event was the Winter Formal’ in February with dancing to the smooth music of Ruby Newman, followed by the traditional ‘Round Robin’ on Saturday night. “With the coming of spring and the start of the second term your class was considerably weak¬ ened by the loss of a few members who couldn’t quite make the grade and by some who received their ‘Greetings’ from Uncle Sam, and you faced the future with thirty men. “The Navy V-12 unit pre-dominated the camp¬ us and the fraternities were approaching their lowest ebb. Most houses had less than a dozen men living in them. Still, with the cooperation of the Navy unit, all of the fraternities, and most of Tech’s traditions and organizations were able to struggle along. “The baseball team had a mediocre season, with Wy Thomas and Don Macauley on the squad from your class. “June also saw the second big social event of the season, the Spring Formal and the ‘Round Robin’ with dancing to the music of Ruby Moule. “Your first class election was held about that time. Bob Hubley was elected president; Ben Barker, vice-president; Lennie Berg, treasurer; and A1 Glazer, historian. “The turning point for Tech came with the arrival of the Class of ’48 in July, over a hundred strong. Tech and the Class of ’47 welcomed them with open arms, for the school it meant the begin¬ ning of the return to peacetime normalcy: for you it meant the end of your lowly position as a Fresh¬ man, the chance for sweet revenge at hazing, and the opportunity to help fill the fraternity houses. “Hazing had only a brief success—thirty men couldn’t hope to keep over a hundred men salaam¬ ing, rolling up their pants, or tying those ‘gosh- fangled’ bow ties for long.” The Class of ’47 which had been silently listen¬ ing suddenly broke into a loud laugh. “We kept those Freshmen on the ball for over two weeks until they finally got wise to the fact that they outnumbered us over four to one and began to stick together. The doctor smiled too. “I can see that you haven’t entirely lost your memory. Those sum¬ mer months went by fast for you. The foundry was shut down and that part of the shop course had to be omitted. “There were afternoons of surveying under the warm July, August, and September sun. The call to the colors continued to take its toll of your members and as a consequence the annual rope pull had to be foregone. With only twenty-two members in your class it was doubtful whether or not you could have even lifted the rope,” The doc said with a broad smile. “I was really in tough shape then, wasn’t I ?” The Class of ’47 answered. “Yes, you certainly were,” the doc replied, “but the turning point was soon to come. V-J day and the end of the war started your class-to-be on its return to Tech. “Your first football season rolled around about this time, but I guess the less I say about that the better. “The big event socially was the Victory Formal which took place in September. Johnny Newton provided the dance music. “Ed Lemieux gave you something to boast a- bout by bringing fame and glory to the school in the cross-country matches. “As the second half of your Sophomore year began in November and the winter weather again approached, you decided to show your own social prowess by sponsoring a Sophomore Hop in Dec¬ ember. It was very successful; everyone who went had a good time, and too, - a few shekels were added to your nearly empty class pocket. The Chr istmas vacation this year was eagerly welcomed after thirteen long months of acceler¬ ated studying. The basketball team broke even for the season by winning and losing seven games. “The annual Interfraternity Ball came and went leaving pleasant memories of a delightful week-end. “Graduation in February of most of the Navy umt brought about major changes on the campus. The dormitory was reconverted to civilian use and the peacetime system of rushing was restored. The familiar Navy-blue uniforms had disappeared almost entirely from the campus, and with the entrance of another Freshman class in March the civilians returned to supremacy. “The former Class of ’49A returned from a four month’s vacation to swell your ranks. (Aha. Now we see whence came that confusion over the date you entered here.) A large number of veter¬ ans also returned. You were a high and mighty Junior now, more than twice as large as when you first came to Tech and you had four of your eight terms behind you. Junior class elections were held and Ed George was elected president; A1 Warren, vice-president; Bert Hinman, secretary; Lennie Berg, treasurer; and Bob Hubley, historian. The Junior year also saw the splitting of your class into department divisions which made it even harder to know the new men in your class. “With the coming of Spring again there was the ' Spring Fever’ Formal early in May with dancing once more to the music of Johnny Newton. The first post-war alumni reunion was held in June and both Tech and the fraternities did their best to make the “Grads” king for a day. “In July, you started your second-half Junior year. Again your class increased in size with the return of a large number of veterans and some thirty former Tech V-12 men from Brown and Yale. “The hot July sun changed to an even hotter August sun, and as you struggled through your second consecutive summer, the sweat really be¬ gan to pour. It was tough, both on you and on the faculty. But graduation next June could be seen on the far-off horizon, and you hit the books determined to stick it out. All of the cours¬ es were hard that term, and plenty of midnight oil was burned to get your reports in on time. “As the cooler September breeze blew over Boynton Hill, thoughts once more turned to social affairs. The result: Your Junior Prom, under the co-chairmanship of Mai Gordon and Bob Hubley. A good time was had by all, ’though financially, you just broke even. “As the brisker October winds began to blow, thoughts were shifted to the football team. The season was abbreviated and consisted of only two games. Much to your disappointment, Tech again failed to score during the season, and you realized that you would graduate without seeing Tech score a point on the gridiron. “November came, and at last you were a Senior. It felt pretty good, and your ranks were swelled even more by returning veterans. School enroll¬ ment reached a record total. “Stratton Hall had undergone its ‘face-lifting’ and was now the home of the Math and English Departments. You found the Book Store, too, had moved to Stratton and now occupied a large, well-lighted room. (Business, it seemed, had boomed, with the advent on campus of so many veterans!) “Class elections were hotly contested, but, final¬ ly, John Hambor won out as president; George Schupp, vice president; A1 Larkin, secretary; and Roger Roberge, treasurer. Bob Hubley remained as class historian. “The Students’ Wives Club was still going strong, having just held a successful Hallowe’en Party and was planning more get-togethers during the year. “Skull and Sigma Xi honored twenty seniors with membership and “Who’s Who in American Colleges” listed eighteen Institute men in its vol¬ ume to be published in June. “You decided to relax with a little fun in Jan¬ uary and held a bang-up banquet at the Eden Garden. Professor Swan gave you a little pre¬ view on job-hunting and the evening ended in a good old-fashioned song-fest. “The following week-end featured the inter¬ fraternity Ball with Shorty Sherock’s Orchestra and the next evening you joined the crowds mak¬ ing the rounds of the fraternity houses.” The Class of ’47 broke a long silence. “Yes, that Round Robin Dance was when I first saw evidence again of the old Tech Spirit. Looked as if it wouldnt be more than a year or two before institute life would be back to normal.” The doctor smiled and nodded. “Yes, but it will wait a little”, he said. “The basketball season ended with a record of eleven losses out of fourteen starts. And, to top that, your class basketball team didn’t even get into the semifinals of the interclass competition and the Juniors walked off with the championship. “The big companies now sent interviewers to the campus and soon your head was awhirl with the thought of all the industries who were holding up production to wait for you to start in as plant manager. “And then came spring with its snow flurries and rainy Easter weather . . . . ” The Class of ’47 leaned forward intently. “Yes?” he prompted eagerly. “What of this last spring at the institute?” “Ahem, er, ah; well, to tell you the truth, I just this morning got in from a trip to New Orleans (or was it Washington?). I was chat¬ ting with some old Navy men. They had once been committed to the institute and, you know, 53 “Yes, yes,” the Class of ’47 interrupted im¬ patiently, “but what was I doing sir?” “Oh, yes. As I’ve said, I just got in from New Orleans and I really haven’t been able to keep in touch with your activities as well as I might. You’ll have to get the rest of your history from the next one who is released from the Institute. That will be next year, we hope.” He stood up. “And now let me present you with this sheep¬ skin which certifies to your release. May I wish you goodbye and good luck.” As the Class of ’47 stood up and shook the prof¬ fered hand, he wore a happy grin, for now, indeed, his life would commence. You’ve just read what was titled “The History of the Class of ’47”. But when we look at the graduating class of July, 1947 we find that only seven members of our class saw that history in the making! The other 116 of us have helped make the history of numbers of other classes at many other colleges over a period of years that stretches back even to 1930! Let’s take a brief look at our¬ selves. We represent every entering college class back to the class of ’40—and we even have a member who is of a class of ’34. In age we range from “youngsters” nineteen years old to a couple of “old men” in their thirties. One third of our class is married and 40% of these lucky (?) fellows are proud fathers. All but ten of us were in the Service (in one way or another); 60% in the Navy and 30%, Army (should I include the Air Corps?—-well, I did). More than half of us attended other colleges at one time or another. And look at the list—it includes forty of them, situated in all parts of the United States; two of them in foreign countries. We find, then that a description of represent¬ ative member of the Class of ’47 would run some¬ thing like this: he is 24 years old, entered college in March, 1944. He served in the Navy, attended Brown or Yale, and is single. Would you like to see how we arrived at these conclusions? Here, then, are the figures: CLASS STATISTICS What year did you first enter college? 1930 1 1936 1 1937 2 1938 6 1939 7 1940 21 1941 18 1942 19 1943 July 3 November 6 1944 March 32 J«iy November 2 Are you single, married; how many children?

CLASS HISTORY 4 6 - D (Graduated October, 1946) In just a few days, we, the class of 1946D, shall make the last entry in the journal of our accelerated studies at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. All during those long years we have eagerly awaited the time when we should say our none to sorry good-byes to the college. That day has come. Instead of making a bold and triumphant exit, however, we are amazed to find ourselves rather sad and subdued at the thoughts of leaving “dear old Polytech.” But before we close the journal until our first reunion, let us turn back the pages for a few minutes and recall some of the highlights of our years at Worcester Tech. The Class of 1946D entered W.P.I. on March 2, 1944. After much rigamarole, both civilians and Navy men were firmly entrenched. Officers elected were: A1 Breed, Ed Hinkly, Mai Johnson and George Philip. A dance and picnic were soon planned, and both these affairs were well attended. In the annual Rope Pull, 33 Freshmen pulled for all their worth in a valiant effort to dunk the 40 Sophomores. We were unsuccessful and as a result found ourselves emerging from the Sophomore side of Institute Pond. Our weakness in numbers again showed itself when we were trounced in the track meet and the Paddle Rush On November 2, 1944, the class of ’46D became Sopho¬ mores officially. To lead us through this year we again elected A1 Breed, Class President. He was assisted by Vice- President Flotteron, Secretary Green and Treasurer Sarkees. After such dismal failures as Freshmen, we were deter¬ mined to show the Juniors and all other classes that we could not be trampled over. With this in mind an athletic committee was formed. There was no Freshman-Sophomore football game as the athletic department was unable to supply equipment. The first athletic contest was therefore the long heralded soccer game. Boosted by many men from Yale and other V-12 Units, the Class of ’46D fought tooth and nail on a sloppy field to earn a 1 to 1 tie. Joe Hearne, a newcomer to Tech, booted a long one through for our score. We salute all who participated in this game The Sophomore’s next challenged the Ship’s Company to a basketball game on the night of January 27, 1945. The proceeds of this game went to the class treasury. From the financial standpoint this event was an extreme success. The Sophomore squad was composed mainly of members of the Junior Varsity basketball team plus a few others who were interested in playing ball. The first half was comic as the ’46Ders came on the floor dressed in everything from long underwear to skirts. Included in this half was the presentation of a cigarette to “Doc” Carpenter, the referee, cigars and playing cards for the players during time outs, and a football scrimmage. The second half was good basketball featured by the basket popping of Chiefs McNulty and Rogers for Ship’s Company and Bill Longmuir for the Sophs. Ship’s Company was victorious by a score of 38 to 34; so from this standpoint of view the game was not a success. During the early part of April, an interclass basketball tournament was held. Our team led by Bob Kuykendall, started out with a bang as they trounced the Freshmen by a score of 38 to 26 in the opening game of the tournament. After our initial success we engaged the Seniors, victors over the Juniors, for the class championship. Unfortunately our outmanned team was defeated but our team was not outfought, as the boys gave all in an effort to win a victory for our class. On the 2nd of July 1945 the class of ’46D became Juniors. Since this was the hardest year, there was little time for extra-curricular activities. However, 2 big days were celebrated when it was announced that Japan had surrend¬ ered. Then, at the end of the first term, most of the Navy men in the class left for NROTC; for the first time in the class’s history, there were more civilian men than Navy. Many of the civilians in our c lass are veterans, returned to school to resume their studies. At the start of the second term, class officers were again elected with these results: Kuykendall, Class President; Osborne, Vice President; McCaw, Secretary; and Burr, Treasurer. All the big dances of the year were held in Alden Mem¬ orial, but the best of all was, of course, our own Junior Prom, for which Johnny Newton furnished the music. As Juniors we were eligible for the Peel Prize competition, and our approaching maturity was even more fully realized as Skull tapped three and Tau Beta Pi initiated three of our number. At last, on March 1, 1946 the class of ’46D became seniors. The results of the class elections were: John Osborn, President; Tom McCaw, Secretary; Joe Manna, Treasurer; Jerry Hickey, Tech Council; and Nute Burr, Vice President. The past year has been a bright one as far as employment prospects were concerned. Personnel men visited the campus unusually early and we had many interviews and filed many application blanks. The remainder of the year was divided between these and commencement preparations. President Osborn with his committees have worked hard to make the dinner dance, baccalaureate, and commencement a huge success. And now we bring the journal of the class of 1946D to and end. The events recorded in it are only a few of the many which have happened during our years at Worcester Tech. Even though this is the last time that we shall be together until our first reunion, there is still one page to be filled. Only time and hard work will fill it.

They were at that time desginated the class of ’49C, and while most people throughout the country were observing the 169th anniversary of independ¬ ence of our country, these Neophytes were getting their first taste of a college classroom. Most of them were wide-eyed youths, fresh out of high school, while there were a few veterans mixed in who pre¬ sented a striking prevue of the vast influx that was to follow. Shortly after they had become familiar with their schedules, a call was issued by the Athletic depart¬ ment for all candidates interested to report for foot¬ ball, soccer, and cross-country teams. The freshmen responded handsomely to these pleas with Yurkee, McCormick, Friedman, Noble, Hubbell, Cunneen, Block, Herman, Deming, Briggs, Gammans, Julian, Kern, Olson, and Jones reporting for football; Man- key, Meiklejohn, and Hedrick engaged in soccer; while Andrews was a member of the cross-country crew. Julian and Hubbell received their “W’”s, while Hubbell was awarded the Skull Trophy as the outstanding freshman. The frosh had joined the various fraternities with¬ in a week after their arrival, and they promptly be¬ gan to play a major role in the interfraternity sports competition. Many of them pitched into the extra¬ curricular activity spirit by joining the majority of our clubs. Jodrey, Nowell, Allen, Taylor, Noble, Land, Baker, Partridge, Macintre, Perrine, and Chin exercised their voices by joining the glee club. Lern- er, exercised his voice in a different manner by join¬ ing the debating society. Julian, Sasek, Block, Rob¬ inson, and McCormick became members of the busi¬ ness and editorial staffs of the Tech News. Many of the students became members of a club that held weekly meetings; i. e., that of Dr. Masius’ Wednes¬ day Afternoon Physics Optionals in Salisbury. As the basketball season approached, Bradlaw be¬ came a standout member of the varsity squad and a letterman, while Turner, Seagrave, Holden, Crom- ack, and Okun were players on the J.V. outfit. In December, the name of the class was changed per¬ manently to that of the Class of ’48. About this time, as the freshman year drew to a close, a few members of the class felt the cold hand of the draft and were forced to leave school. This decrease in number was quickly made up in March at the start of the sopho¬ more year when many students returned to school as sophomores, after serving their hitch for Uncle Sam. Thus, at that time, they become the largest sophomore class in the history of the institute. As the spring approached, many felt that old feeling in regard to track and baseball. Bradlaw and Sea- graves became regulars on the baseball squad. The approach of Autumn found Tech faced with an abbreviated football schedule. Nlost of the mem¬ bers from the previous year gain answered the call. In addition, Riley, Mintz, Berggren, Peabody, Mc- Kernan, Seagraves and Newell were other members of the sophomore class who were on the squad. Dember, became one of the ’48ers on the soccer squad. In October a small group of students enlisted in the Army in what the Army called the last eighteen month enlistment, and the last one which offered the privileges of the G. I. Bill. At the start of the Junior year in November, many more ex-G.I.s returned to school again to swell the ranks of the class of 48. M any of these new mem¬ bers immediately resumed their former positions in the activities around the school. Concordia and Raymond once again became varsity basketball stars, while Dember and Collins became mainstays on the jayvee quintet. Now, the class of ’48 looks forward to their first summer vacation since their arrival in school. After that they start on their last lap of school, and they are ready to give out with an added spurt to reach that ultimate finish line—the graduation platform in June 1948.

In October 1945, our class began its ordeal but due to the fact that most veterans had not been discharged, and many high school students were still being drafted, only 57 men including 28 veterans, appeared in October. These were the men of ’49A. They were sub¬ ject to the usual series of indoctrination lectures and tests to which was added a special feature, the lecture on “How We Learn,” by Professor E. G. Boring of Harvard. Steve Ucich was the first president of this new class. The Class of ’49B apeared on the scene on March 4, 1946. They went to school during the summer of 1946 to catch up with ’49A so that the two classes could be consolidated last fall as the class of ’49. The second section of the class contributed 200 men of whom 182 were veterans, many of them married. Many of them learned that wives can be just as critical of poor report cards as fathers ever were. Our large number made fraternity rushing quite difficult for the upperclassmen and the fraternity attitude toward freshman hazing had to be revised to fit the older pledges. Our class spirit was high, especially after LASS HISTORY pulling the sophomores through Institute Pond at the Rope Pull. That same night, at the Tech Carnival, our class skit entitled “Big Wheels for a Day” written by Jack Mullaney and Leo Rose won easily over the sophomore presentation. The class of ’49B elected John Hawley pres¬ ident and Ed Dion vice-president during that first year. On Saturday, July 27, we organized the Freshman Picnic at Green Hill Park, with wives and girl friends helping to make the affair a great success. The feature of the day was the softball game between the Applegate Apple- polishers and the Carpenter Carpetbaggers. The Applepolishers won and were immediately chal¬ lenged by the Lincoln Street Pirates, a gang of eight year old boys. At the end of the summer, Gino Santandrea was awarded the annual Skull Trophy award as being the most outstanding freshman. Dean Amidon received honorable mention. At the start of our sophomore year, we elected Gino president with John Hawley as vice-president. As we reach the halfway point in our under¬ graduate career we look back with pride at our record on the field and in the classroom and look forward to even greater achievements be¬ fore our Commencement in 1949.

Henry Zani Wellesley FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On October 28, 1946, Tech welcomed the class of 1950. Two hundred thirty-eight strong willing newcomers endured three days of orientation and aptitude tests, culminated by a heartening series of talks stressing the “leisurely” life of a Tech student. Among those registering were twelve representatives of foreign lands: Tejinder Singh Chaddha, of Punjab, India; Vung Kwan Chun, of Shanghai, China; Andreas Devletoglou, of Athens, Greece; Benjamin Goh, from Penang, Malaya; Henry Huang, Manila, P. I.; Yilmaz Kokturk, of Ankara, Turkey; John Margo, Havana, Cuba; Tsu-Yen Mei, Peiping, China; Subbiah Muthiah, of Colombo, Ceylon; Mehmet Oray and Rifat Ozbas, of Istanbul, Turkey; and Mustafa Sonmez, of Isparta, Turkey. The first event of significance in which the Freshmen took part was the Tech Carnival. A sparkling group of Freshman players led by Rollie Bedard and Phil Stanier, presented their version o f the Henry Morgan Show and walked off with the cup. Among those who contributed to the victory were: Bob Tagen, George Wiswell, Hank Styskal, Bob Whitney, Dave Flood, Frank Pease, Les Reynolds, Bob Lanphear, Dick McMahon, Phil Blair, Dave Humphreys, Ray Costine, Bill Griggs, Paul Brown, Ben Goh, Charlie Parnagian, Dizzy Thompson, Fran Fay, Stuart Leonard, Pete Cummings, Charlie Tidball, Jim DuCharme and his efficient stage crew contributed to the effective¬ ness of the production. Shortly after the Carnival, Sanford Riley Hall broke out into a rash of campaign posters. The first class election was at hand. After the dust had settled, the following men emerged victorious: President, Jack Brierly; Vice-President, Walt Keyl; Secretary, Tom Stack; Treasurer, Harold DeCarli; Representative to the Tech Council, Ed Judd; and last, but by no means least, Class Historian, Hank Baker. The last event of import was the revival of the Freshman-Sophomore Rope Pull, which took place June seventh in the presence of a large throng, including many female visitors left over from the Junior Prom of the previous evening. The Class of ’50 again covered itself with glory by breaking, not once but three times, the rope which had withstood the brawn of countless Freshmen and Sophomores of former years. The Sophomores aided in this achievement of straining muscles, but it is suspected by many Freshmen that the principal sophomoric contribution to failure of the hemp was the furtive application of sulphuric acid. Rumor has it that the Skull prevented the wholesale immersion of the Soph¬ omore team during the confusion that followed the third try. At least, a certain gentleman from Athens was seen heading for the pond with a helpless Sophomore under each arm.

Skull The highest undergraduate honor, selection for membership in Skull, is each year bestowed upon a small group of Tech Juniors, who by virtue of their high character, their service to the institute, and their personality, have proven themselves to be leaders. Past achieve¬ ment is the measure of future promise, and so these men take the charge from the departing seniors to strive for cooperation and harmony among the various member groups on the hill. Skull members, through their important posi¬ tions on most of the organizations on the hill and in student activities, exert their influence and guidance in the direction which holds the greatest promise for the welfare and promotion of Tech. Skull honors are not for undergraduates alone, however. Those members of the faculty, whose personal prestige and labors in the inter¬ est of the Tech family, merit this especial honor, are also “tapped” into this secret so¬ ciety. Included among those, so honored, are Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius, Dean Francis W. Roys, Dr. Albert J. Schweiger, Professor Donald G. Downing, Professor M. Lawrence Price, Professor Edwin Higginbottom, Profes¬ sor Arthur J. Knight, Professor Carl Johnson, and Professor Hobart Newell. Since its founding in 1911, Skull has exerted its influence in all phases of life on the hill, quietly and with no flourish. Although there is a deep mystery surrounding the Tomb and the actions of the chosen few within its walls, the results springing from the energies of the men in white Skull caps have ever been in evidence. s ■ At Cornell University, in the year 1886, the Honorary Engineering Society Sigma Xi was founded with the avowed aim of stimulating and promoting scientific research and reason¬ ing in the various branches of engineering. From its infancy, this society has grown until today it has over 20,000 members; most of whom are men prominent in their respective fields of endeavor. The Worcester Tech chapter of Sigma Xi was founded in 1908 and since then has func¬ tioned as an active chapter of the national organization. The activities of our Tech chap¬ ter for the past year have consisted of meetings during which important addresses were de¬ livered on currently interesting scientific sub¬ jects such as “Atomic Power”. Sigma Xi, as one of the leading Honorary Engineering Societies of today, has maintain¬ ed a high standard of achievement and selec¬ tivity of membership since its inception. New men are pledged into the ranks of Sigma Xi each year from the men of the senior class. Acceptance into the Society entitles them to an associate membership. Pledges continue in their status as such until, through actual research, they can earn their right to full mem¬ bership. New men pledged to Sigma Xi are selected on the basis of their high scholastic standing in their class and on their ability to carry on research work. First Row, left to right : H. Bove, R.

Ta B e t Pi Tau Beta Pi was founded at Lehigh Univer¬ sity in 1885, and a quarter of a century later, in 1910, the local chapter was organized. Its purpose is to recognize those who have brought honor to their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and commendable character as un¬ dergraduates in engineering colleges, or by their personal accomplishments as alumni. Over fifty chapters of Tau Beta Pi, established in the leading technical colleges of our country, form the largest honorary fraternity for under¬ graduate engineers. Membership in this society is open to Seniors in the upper fifth, and Juniors in the upper eighth of their classes. Elections for member¬ ship are held twice yearly; one in the fall and the other in the spring. A banquet was held last October with Colonel Maginnis, a military government offi¬ cial in charge of the American Zone of Berlin, as guest of honor. He spoke of the problems arising from the governing of one city by sev¬ eral nations, with special emphasis on the Russo-American situation there. T. M. McCaw was a delegate from this chap¬ ter to Tau Beta Pi’s forty-first convention held last year at Columbus, Ohio—the first since 1941. A great deal of effort has been spent trying to get the Association back to normal opera¬ tion after the hectic war years. Officers were John P. Harding, president; George Shupp, vice-president; William Long¬ muir, treasurer; William Jaegle, corresponding secretary; and Edward Supple, reporting sec¬ retary. INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Interfraternity Council is set up here at Tech as a medium for regulating all matters dealing with interfraternity relations, both with respect to each other and to the College in general. Once each month the Council meets at one of the chapter houses. At this time a delegate and an alternate from each of the fraternities represented on the Hill meet with the two faculty representatives to discuss and plan rushing rules, interfraternity sports and other matters which may come up. To sup¬ port its activities, and for the enjoyment of the “Greeks” here at Tech the council spon¬ sors the annual Interfraternity Ball, which has always been the highlight of the school’s social season. Perhaps the most important phase of the Interfraternity Council’s activity is the writing and administration of rushing rules. Wor¬ cester Tech is noted for its well regulated rush¬ ing system under which the interests of both the freshmen and the fraternities are protected. By restricting communication between fresh¬ men and fraternity men to certain specified visiting periods, the new men are given an op¬ portunity to consider carefully the relative merits of all the fraternities. Also the frater¬ nity men have an opportunity to size up and meet the freshmen. Under this system the Interfraternity Council strives to keep the ex¬ penses of rushing within reason and to give the rushees a truer picture of fraternity life. Each year, Professor Gay, as Chairman of the Interfraternity Council, presented the President’s Trophy to the house with the best combined record in scholastic echievement and participation in campus activities. Trophies are also presented for scholastic rating, im¬ provement and Interfraternity athletics. The Interfraternity Ball, held in Alden in February, was a success both in attendance and spirit. Due to the present large enrollment the committee was able to work with a larger budget than in other years, and trumpeter Shorty Sherock and his orchestra purveyed by far the best dance music heard at Tech in the last seven or eight years.

Although maintaining an accelerated program, Worcester managed to field teams in all sports during the past year. However, the baseball, ten¬ nis, and track teams had not completed their sea¬ son as The Peddler went to press. The governing body for all athletics at Tech is the Athletic Council. The Council, which consists of both faculty and student members, awards let¬ ters and distributes funds between the various sports, in addition to promoting and regulating the athletic interests on the Hill. The student members, who were elected at a general assembly during the year, include Frank Gross, President; Gerald McCormick, Treasurer; Ken Muccino, Secretary; and Allan Glazer. A1 Raymond was appointed to fill out the position of Vice President when Bill Yurkee left for the Army. Professor Carpenter is the Chairman of the Coun¬ cil, and other faculty members are Professors Knight and Higginbottom, D. E. Smith, and A. E. Rankin. Although their behind-the-scenes work is little known or felt, their excellent performance of a tough job deserves praise. Another group, whose behind-the-scenes work is little known, but whose antics are apparent at all games and rallies, is the Cheerleading Squad. Many long hours are spent in the planning and practising of cheers before the new member takes his position on the squad at the games. The members of this year’s squad are Head Cheerleader Carrol Burtner, Mai Gordon, Elliot Block, John Hawley, and Norm Jardine. Fond memories of the old Tech spirit were brought back to many of the old-timers by the big rally on the eve of the football game with the Connecticut State Teachers College of New Brit¬ ain last summer. The rally, which started at the Dormitory, snake-danced its way around to all the fraternity houses to scare out the more studious brothers and finally ended up by stopping all traffic at Lincoln Square as the several hundred Tech men gave forth to cheers led by Carrol Burtner. Thus, the Cheerleading Squad plays an impor¬ tant part in developing and keeping the school spirit at Tech. CHEERLEADERS J. Hawley, M. Gordon, E. Block, C. Burtner. Football for ’46 at Tech looked very doubtful early last summer. The Athletic Department felt that it would be folly to field a team with the summer term due to end in the middle of the gridiron season. Also some of the football prospects were on vacation, and there would be no help from the new incoming Freshmen class not due to register until late in October. These handicaps plus the winless and scoreless record of the ’45 club offered little encouragement to the coaching staff. However student opinion ran high for having a football team regardless. It was argued on campus that with such prewar letter- men back as Nichols, Halttunen, Marvin, and Green, plus Gross, Riley, and Williams from ’45 to form the nucleus that Tech could and should play ball. A schedule was hastily arranged with New Britain Conn. Teachers and Mass. State and practice started in August. Under tutelage of coaches Stagg and McNulty, the squad slowly began to round into shape. For various reasons, Halttunen, Nichols, and Marvin didn’t remain out for the team and the brunt of the offensive duties fell on Howie Green. By the time the first game with Conn. Teachers rolled around, Coach Stagg had for his starting lineup the following: Gross and McQuillan at the ends; Melden and Riley at the tackle slots; Santandrea and Layton as guards; and Peabody at center. In the backfield it was Green and Muccino at the halves; Amidon at quarter; and Boluch in the fullback spot. Ferson, Winslow, O’Regan, and Williams could be counted on for competent re¬ lief duty. New Britain Connecticut Teachers came up with an unheralded team but proved themselves a more than worthy foe for the inexperienced Engineers. Play seesawed back and forth at mid- field and the first period ended with the two clubs battling to a scoreless standstill. The Teachers pushed across two t.d.’s and a point after early in the second quarter to open up a 13 point lead. Tech fought back gamely with two sustained drives down the field but fell short of a touch¬ down on both occasions. The latter march car¬ ried them down to the Conn, two yard line, with the first down and goal to go. Prosperity proved too much for the sons of John Boynton though, for a 3rd down pass was intercepted by Detrich, New Britain end, who then proceeded to score on a 98 yard run. This seemed to take the spirit out of the Techsters, and from that point on Conn. Teachers romped through to a 26-0 victory. Mass. State was Tech’s next and final opponent. The first quarter followed the same pattern of the previous game with neither eleven able to score. It was not until midway through the sec¬ ond quarter that Mass. State was able to register a touchdown on a 42 yard punt return. The half ended with Mass. State ahead 7-0. In the third quarter State took advantage of a blocked punt inside Tech’s thirty and scored in three running plays. State staged a dazzling offensive show in the final period to rack up four more touchdowns and a point after. The Engineer line which had played bang-up ball all afternoon was simply exhausted and the hard driving State backs had no trouble picking up six and seven yards a carry. Dick Seagraves gave Tech mo¬ mentary hope in the last few minutes when he ran a kick back from his goal line to the State 45 yard line. There the Engineer attack fizzled out and Mass. State continued on to post a 39-0 win. Despite their poor record it must be said that Tech played hard all season and with a few breaks might have changed the complexion in either game. Lack of capable reserves handicapped them immensely. Next year with numerous letter- men back led by captain-elect Harry Melden, Tech should field an eleven that will come through with its share of victories. CnriTRAI I . First Row, left to right: J.

Of the three sports in which Tech was repre¬ sented on our abbreviated Fall sports program, we came the nearest to holding our own in Soc¬ cer. The Soccer team started the season in an op¬ timistic manner with Coach Higginbottom deep in experienced players. There were ten letter men reporting plus a host of new talent up from high schools and other colleges. In all, five games were played. The Tech booters accounted for one win and two ties and dropped two contests. In the first game, Coach Higginbottom took his aggregation to Cambridge for a contest with Harvard and they returned home with a 5-5 tie. Tech led all the way, mainly through the efforts of Joe Hearne, who sent the ball through the up¬ rights five times. Harvard tied it up in the clos¬ ing minutes. The two five minute overtime per¬ iods that followed the regular eighty-eight min¬ ute game produced no score. In the second game, although the Engineers met the delegation from Springfield on the home field, Tech came out on the losing end of a 5-4 score. Tech’s goals were scored by Collins, Re¬ nasco, Howe and Hearne. There is little to be said about the third con¬ test, which was played against Wesleyan here. Captain Hearne’s three goals were not enough to counteract the visitor’s eight. The final score was Wesleyan 8, Tech 3. The next game found the Engineers journeying to Providence to tangle with the Brown booters. Tech copped its only game of the season and shut out the home team. Goals by Hearne and Long- muir put Tech in the winning column 2-0. Finally, in the last game against Trinity, Tech closed its schedule on the same note struck in the opening encounter, namely, that of a 5-5 tie. Joe Hearne, who was a star all season, hit pay dirt four times and Geary added the fifth goal. Once again, there were two five minute overtime per¬ iods, neither of which produced any scoring. All of the opponents were from the top flight teams in New England. The team really experi¬ enced bad luck, because only a matter of one goal made the difference between winning or at least gaining a tie in three out of five games played. After the season, the lettermen met and elect¬ ed Dick Horne captain for the coming season. He succeeds Joe Hearne, who was this year’s cap¬ tain and one of the most outstanding Soccer play¬ ers in Tech’s history. He was the top scorer for the season. VARSITY BASKETBALL: First Row, left to right: A. Raymond, R. Bradlaw, R. Cromack, R. Carlson, S. Ucich, J. Concordia. Second Row, left to right: Coach Stagg, R. Norris, J. McKernan, F. Gross, W. Collings, J. Breed, Manager. This past basketball campaign, Tech experienced one of its worst seasons since it started playing the game. When the season was over, the scorebook showed a record of eleven losses against three wins. Bob Carlson, Steve Ucich, and Russ Bradlaw, regular letter- men from the previous season were available, while Rog Cromack, John Concordia, A1 Raymond, Russ Norris and Frank Gross, from previous J.V. squads also reported. In addition newcomers Jim McKernan, Bill Codings, Art Collins, Jack Adams, Jerry Fleit, and George Barna contributed their talents at various times during the season. At the start of the season, Carlson, Ucich, Bradlaw, Cromack, Con¬ cordia, and Norris divided the majority of the scoring play. The opening game was against the Springfield Gymnasts, and they com¬ pletely out-classed the Techmen 66-39. It was at this time that the Boynton Hillers lost the services of veteran Steve Ucich when he became sidelined with a broken hand. In the next two games, the Techmen won a pair of thrillers, edging Mass. State 59-55 at Alumni Gym and defeating Northeastern 40-36 at the Huskies’ court. The first game after the holidays was against Woody Grimshaw and Co. from Brown University. Woody collected 20 points and broke the Brown all-time scoring record that night as Tech was drubbed 64-37. Tech’s next game was in Spring- field where the A.I.C. cagers defeated them 65-55. In this game, Bob Carlson made his best offensive showing as he hit an individual high of 29 points wi h his sensational hook shots. The next game found Tech host to a then undefeat¬ ed Trinity five. After enjoying an early lead, the locals fell apart and the Hartford team emerged victorious 54-38. The following Saturday found them in Troy, N. Y. against R.P.I. Before a capacity crowd, they were routed by the New York Engineers 77-41. The following game found the Staggmen los¬ ing their fifth in a row 51-38 to a fighting Pratt Insti¬ tute quintet. Steve Ucich, returning to his old form, starred on defense while he tallied 15 points. The next game found the engineers in Amherst where they were thumped by the Lord Jeffs 60-42. 4 he next encounter found us host to Boston University on our formal weekend. It was not the Friday night hangovers, but it was the superior play of the Terriers that enabled them to emerge victorious 65-35. Tech tried to shift its offense to a double bucket system, and Jim McKernan was brought up from the jayvees to team up with Rog Cromack. It started to work fairly well against Tufts at Medford with the engineers enjoying a half-time lead for the first time in many games. Thus ended Tech’s disastrous basketball campaign. With Frank Gross the only senior on the squad, one may hold a slightly optimistic look as far as next season is concerned. John Concordia stood out all year as the dependable playmaker on the squad. Carl¬ son, Cromack, and Ucich, at times showed signs of offensive greatness, while newcomers Jim McKernan, Bill Codings, Jack Adams, George Barna, and Jerry Fleit have shown definite promise that they will be heard from in the future.

Cross Country and Track The Cross Country squad consisted of Dave Brown, Mac White, Turner, Coppola, Jenkins, Drechsel, and Jaegle. The first run was held with Springfield College and was lost by WPI. Dave Brown made a good showing. In the second run WPI was toppled by the Coast Guard Academy, and followed with a loss to Massachusetts University. According to regulations Dave Brown qualified for a Cross Country “W”. Turner, Coppola, and Silver earned the “CWC” letter. The winter track team took part in three meets this past winter and finished without a victory. In the K of C Relays Miami took first place, followed by Rennsalaer, Northeastern and WPI. WPI also finished forth in the BAA Relays while McGill, Bowdoin, and Amherst finished in that order. A meet was held with Massachusetts University and WPI lost a heart-breaker 50 to 40. WPI captured six out of ten first places but could not finish in the second and third slots.

Swimming Team In the pre-season warmup, prospects looked good although the team had lost all of last season’s lettermen except George Schupp. Olie Halttunen and Dick Olson, letter- men on the swimming team before the war, joined forces with Schupp and formed the nucleus of a promising crew. But all did not go well from then on and the final team consisted of only eleven men in contrast to the much largt t and more experienced teams with whom they were to compete. The season opened January 11th with Mass. State as the opponent. Coach Frank Grant watched eagerly as Bill Bowen slipped into the pool to start the first event. As the evening wore on, his long face grew longer and he began to wish he had stayed home. Mass. State took the medley and the 220. Then Dick Olson stepped in and won the 60-yard free style and tied for the first place in the 100 yard free style. After Olson’s bid, it was State’s meet and Tech finished just 26 points short of winning. The next two meets were with Amherst and Springfield. Second spots were taken in both meets by Olson and Kahn in the free-style and breast stroke respectively. Bowen and Halttunen took seconds against Amherst in the backstroke and the 440 free style. Otherwise, Tech occupied an ex¬ clusive position in third place. Pete Kahn established somewhat of a precedent in the Boston University and the Trinity meets by bringing in Tech’s two first places since Olson’s success against Mass. State. In each of the meets, Pete took first in the 200 yard breast stroke. Coach Grant watched his team go down for the sixth successive time when M. I. T. swam over them on March 8th. He then decided that there was small chance of their winning the New England Intercollegiate Swimming As¬ sociation meet, so Tech’s name was withdrawn from the list of contestants in this season’s finale. RIFLE TEAM The W. P. I. Rifle Team has concluded a season of twelve intercollegiate matches under the auspices of the New England College Rifle League. The Tech marksmen were successful in four of these matches and were defeated by slim margins in several of the other contests. These matches were conducted under rules formulated by the New England College Rifle League under the direction of Lieut. Cmdr. Cascini of Coast Guard Academy. The Tech shooters were Burns, Dion, Gowing, Sanctuary, Cornell, Mallay, Marston, Whitney and White. Due to the fact that their lair is hidden deep in the cav¬ erns of the Alumni Gym the Rifle Club is one of the least publicized of the school’s activities. Nevertheless the nim- rods have been unusually active this year. In addition to sponsoring the Rifle Team for competitive shooting, the Club has many members whose interests center on recrea¬ tional shooting with either the rifle or pistol. The Club’s officers, President Art Burns, Vice-President Russ Turner, Treasurer and Secretary Bob Gowing, and Team Manager Ed Dion, have mapped out a full program for the future. Matches have been conducted with Mass. State, the Singletary Rod and Gun Club of Millbury, the Maspenock Rifle and Pistol Club of Milford, and Carne¬ gie Tech. The Club has been given permission to use the outdoor range in Shrewsbury in the spring and summer. Future plans include .30 caliber matches with other New England colleges and an attempt to foster a New England Pistol League. Rifle Team First Row, left to right: J. Marston, A. Burns, E. Dion, R.

So far this year our track team has entered three meets and has another with Springfield College. In the EIAA meet, which was held at Alumni Field, we ranked eighth out of a field of eleven colleges and some 300 participants. “Mac” White and Don Jordan were the leading Tech point-getters in this big meet by virtue of second places in the 120-yard High Hurdles and the Pole Vault, respectively. The team will suffer a great loss this year due to the graduation of their ace hurdle-man, “Mac” White, who has been a consistent scorer since his freshman year. Next year the team will still have the high- scoring, versatile George Howe along with Don Jordon, a top pole-vaulter. Carl Borg, Dave Brown, Clayton Roberts and A1 DeLoid are good performers with two years at the Institute ahead of them. Throughout this season the team has been strong in the field events but weak in the long runs. If the team had another runner like Dave Brown, they could have won the meets with Boston University and the University of Mass¬ achusetts. With a little help from the incoming freshman class, this weakness can be easily remed : ed. Since this is the first year after the war that Tech has really tried to put out a track team, the results are not as dismal as they seem. This year is mainly a building year, a year to lay the foundation for the future. The team under the excellent coaching of Frank Sanella should make a good showing next year. The results of the meets played to date: Boston University 68 2 3 W. P. I. 57 1 3 University of Mass. 66 W. P. I. 60 University of Conn. 79 1 3 W. P. I. 46 2 3 Baseball The baseball team started out the sea¬ son as an inexperienced, unknown group of ballplayers but by midseason had de¬ veloped into a first class ball club capable of doing well in intercollegiate circles. Starting with Steve Ucich and Bob Carlson as the only lettermen from last season’s squad, Coach Charlie McNulty developed the team into a smartly drilled, well coached ball club that gave the ap¬ pearance of having had the advantage of a long southern training trip. Guy Nichols, a letterman from the 1942 Tech team, was elected as captain for the year. “Nick” did a fine job of handling the team’s catching assignment through¬ out the season. The rest of the starting team consisted of Steve Ucich, first base; Bob Carlson, second base; Bill Carlson, shortstop; John George, third base; Hal Schmucki, left field; Jim McKernan, cen¬ ter field; and Jim O’Regan, right field. Ross Chapin was the standout of the mound staff which included Bob Mark, A1 Hapgood, Hal Nordstrom, and Don Shattuck. This fine pitching staff helped to give Coach McNulty a well rounded, dependable team. In the first game of the season Trinity was the opponent. The score stood at Trinity 3, Worcester 0, in the sixth inning when rain called a halt to the game. Tech lost a well played game to American In¬ ternational College in the second game of the season. At the end of ten innings the scoreboard showed 15 runs for A. I. C. as against 14 for Worcester. Against Massachusetts University the team had a tough ninth inning and as a result came out on the short end of a 12-9 score. In a return game with A. I. C. the Worcester men suffered a 5-2 defeat. The team showed marked improvement in each game and in the final game prior to press time the team really became of age. The highly favored team from Brown University was humbled by the McNulty- men by a 4-2 score. The loss of Guy Nichols and Bob Mark, the only seniors on the squad, will be deeply felt next year. Bob Mark was a great asset to the pitching staff and could always be depended on to turn in a credit¬ able performance. Captain Nichols was one of the standout performers of the sea¬ son with his long-distance hitting and ex¬ cellent handling of the pitching staff. DAQFRAI I . Row, left to right: S. Ucich, J.

So far, the 1947 season on the courts has not been very successful. The unimpressive record, however, does not indicate the true strength of the team. Three lettermen returned to the team this year, Lester Bressack, Howie Green, and Buddy Dember. These men under the able guidance of Coach Stagg have performed excellently in compeetition and were aptly supported by the consistent playing of Neil Fishman and A1 Strogoff. Three freshmen who have also played important roles in competition this spring are Dave Hopkins, Pike Fishburn, and Mai Horton. Hopkins and Green together with Dember and Bressack have formed the doubles combinations which have provided keen opposition to all challengers. The season opened May 7 with a match against Mass. State. The score was closely contended all the way, but Tech lost the match 4-5. In the second match, M. I. T. proved to be too much for the Boynton Hiller’s who were defeated 2-7. The next contest with Trinity showed a definite improvement in the team, but in the end Trinity won by the close margin of 4-3. Tech again put up a good showing against Tufts in their fourth match, but again bad luck faced Tech and the match was dropped 3-4. As The Peddler goes to press the team has three games scheduled, Brown, Boston University, and A. I. C. Graduation will not affect the team, and next year these men will again be performing on the courts for Tech and will undoubtedly make a far be tter record. First Row, left to right: H. Hoyt, L.

Last year’s staff left the Institute with no successors so Professor Schwieger, the Peddler faculty ad¬ viser, and the Tech Council solicited letters of application from those men desiring positions on the staff. Many of those who responded had pre¬ vious experience on the Peddler, the Tech News, or other college publications. By the middle of November, the staff had been named and gradu¬ ally the plan for this book developed. We have had our problems and like all staffs before, they seemed unique to us. We tore our ha ; r when the business staff cramped the editor¬ ial staff’s plans for artistic introductory pages. The business staff found that selling advertising space in a college yearbook isn’t the easiest type of selling. However, now that the job is done, the editors can sit back and feel that the whole proj¬ ect was well worth all the effort. We were fortu¬ nate in having a staff that cooperated 100% from start to finish. If ever a staff worked in greater harmony we’d like to see it. Bouquets are in order to Hank Bove, business manager, and A1 Glazer, advertising manager, for seeing to it that the necessary money was raised as it was needed. With inflation raising the cost of paper and printing labor, theirs was no easy task. Managing Editor Keith McIntyre and Ed Eager had their hands full compiling the indiv¬ idual write-ups for each senior. With about 170 graduates in the book, Keith and his junior staff assistants put in many hours. Carrol Burtner, as photography editor, had the job of scheduling individual and group pictures with the class pho¬ tographer. The rest of the semor staff deserves recogni¬ tion here, too, for their fine cooperation: Ed Johnson, in charge of group write-ups, Tex Hoyt as photography assistant, Phil Jones, John Hard¬ ing, Ed George, Norm Feldman, Augie Flotteron, Doc Watson, and Jack Williams as business as¬ sistants, Les Flood in charge of compiling infor¬ mation on fraternities and societies, and Dave Basset helping on individual write-ups. However, much of the credit for this book goes to the junior staff who, all for the sake of experience, did the leg work, the ad chasing, the subscription soliciting, and the writing of activ¬ ity stories. The last bouquet goes to Prof. Schwieger whose hints and advice steered us clear of the pitfalls that lie in the path of all yearbook staffs. TECH NEWS The TECH NEWS is the voice of the student body on Boynton Hill. It is pub¬ lished bi-weekly during the college year and is available to all students. The paper is a member of the Associated Col¬ lege Press of the National Scholastic Press Association. All school activities and items pertain¬ ing to engineering, which are of interest to the students, are published and edited by the staff which is entirely made up of students. The TECH NEWS carries an editorial column, fraternity news bits, a sports page and a feature section, plus all of the news stories which occur. Since the start of the Fall term the paper has increased to a six-page publi¬ cation from its former four pages through the efforts of all concerned. The paper is also published on special occasions such as for circulation at the college Formal dances. Work on the paper is done in extra hours and it gives the staff a knowledge of how to go about things in a business like fashion and also helps the staff to be¬ come acquainted with members of the faculty. The editor in chief for the past school year has been Edward Supple. The man¬ aging editor was Kenneth Truesdell and the news editor, Edwin Johnson. All of these men have done a wonderful job throughout the year. The secretary was Richard Tracy, who succeeded Thomas McCaw, who graduated in October. Rob¬ ert Hubley was the Feature Editor, and the sports page was edited by Carrol Burt- ner. The business end has been handled by Harris DuFresne, who has held the job throughout the year. All of these men are ably assisted by the staff, and the whole paper was under the guidance of the faculty advisor, John H. Mackenzie, who succeeded Dr. Schultz when he left us last October.

The Tech Council continues to serve in the capacity of the essential factor in maintenance of closer harmony be¬ tween the student body and the faculty. Through this representative body the students possess the means of expressing their opinions and ideas concerning the improvement of existing college condi¬ tions. This places the Council in the cat¬ egory of being similar to an advisory board open to all suggestive and critical comments. This certainly depicts a fun¬ damental of democracy, that of being a representative voice of the people. Through its functioning power the stu¬ dents have been benefited in many ways. In accordance with the constitution which provides that the Council be com¬ posed of an elected membership, there are two faculty members, and nine under¬ graduate students elected from their re¬ spective classes. The Council president must be a senior who obtains the requir¬ ed vote of acceptance by the student body. In addition to this well-selected group are ex-officio members consisting of the President of the Institute, the Presidents of the classes, club, and organizations on the Hill. The Council has had the able assistance of Professors Rice and Downing as faculty advisors. Many beneficial results have been ob¬ tained for the students through the com¬ bined efforts of both groups to meet these problems. The Council, no doubt, has the greatest burden of maintaining a wholesome college life for all concerned. Through its stimulated efforts in seeing to it that things are carried out properly, we, the students of Tech, owe much to its existence. TECH COUNCIL STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association at Wor¬ cester Tech is the unpublicized, energetic or¬ ganization which serves all the students on the campus regardless of their denomination. The S.C.A. functions through its cabinet of ten men; one member from each fraternity house and one non-fraternity man. The permanent treas¬ urer and faculty advisor is Professor Paul Swan on whose shoulders falls much of the routine work of the organization. The freshmen first become acquainted with the work of the S. C. A. during their first week of school, when this organization sponsors their week of orientation. During this period, the teams and organizations on the hill present to the new freshmen a summary of their year’s activities. The highlight of the Orientation program occurs on Friday night, when a mass student assembly is held, during which cider and doughnuts are served to all. During this first week of school, the S.C.A. also presents every member of the student body with the “Tech Bible” and a blotter. Every month the S. C. A. sponsors assemblies in Alden Memorial for the students and faculty. Timely and interesting speakers are obtained for these school get-to-gethers. Among the many annual duties of the organization are the supervision and maintainance of the game room in Sanford Riley Hall; subscription to the pop¬ ular magazines and newspapers for the Student Lounge; an employment bureau for needy stu¬ dents (or their wives); and a Community Ser¬ vice Committee for the general maintenance and improvement of the school. In addition contributions are made to such charitable or¬ ganizations as the Red Cross, the World Stu¬ dent Service Fund, and the Student Christian Movement.

NEWMAN CLUB Roman Catholic students with the purpose of “pro¬ moting Catholic Culture and Catholic Fellowship” form the Worcester Tech Newman Club, which was organized in 1915 by Dr. Charles Burns. During the year there were some discussions of moral and religious significance with the club chaplain, Father Henry Brab- son. A few communion breakfasts were held at the Hotel Sheraton and also several dances with the New¬ man Club of Worcester State Teachers College at its school. On December 7, 1946, several delegates attended a convention of the New England Catholic Students Peace Federation at Regis College, Weston, Massachu¬ setts. The main discussion centered around “Prob¬ lems of World Peace”. This year’s officers were: Norman Padden, president; John Meade, Vice-president; and John Mullaney, Sec¬ retary-Treasurer. mqa UAM r I ID First Row, left to right : T. Hess, J. Hudson, F. Johnson, J.

For the first time in many seasons, the well known Tech Boyntonians, swing band, was made up solely of civilian Tech men. Prior to the war, there usually were outsiders in the band, and during the war the band was not only managed by the V-12 unit, but was composed mostly of Navy students. This year, largely through the efforts of Ed George, popular trumpeter, and the band’s manager, Mai Gordon, the Boyntonians were classed as one of the best college bands in New England. They not only played for Tech functions, such as basketball games and concerts, but were also invited to play for outside engagements including other college dances. In future years the Boyntonians will continue to maintain their high standing in New England, for several new freshmen musicians have greatly aided the band this year and these boys will probably be the backbone of next year’s band. Graduation will be felt deeply by the Boyntonians when Ed George, graduating trumpeter, leaves. Ed has done much for the band and will long be remem¬ bered on the Hill. The members of the band were: Bill Wagner, Tom Stack, Danny Levenson, Donald Taylor, saxophon¬ ists; Ed George, Bob Tagen, Bob Beauregard, trum¬ peters; Jerry Welts, trombonist; Bob Green, drums; Walt Abrahams, pianist; and Mai Gordon, manager. GLEE CLUB Once again the Glee Club has maintained a high standing in campus activities through its completion of another successful concert year. This activity of¬ fered a grand opportunity to those who possess mu¬ sical talents. Having weathered the difficult war years, the club is now functioning at peak perform¬ ance through the most able direction of Mr. Clifford Green. The Glee Club opened its successful concert tour in March 1946 at Colby Junior College in New Hampshire. This first success was soon followed by another in April, when the club visited State Teach¬ ers’ College in Framingham. These were the stepping stones to more successes which were to come. Following these con certs, there was a period of in¬ tensive rehearsals of new song selections in prepara¬ tion for the rest of the tour. The Glee Club was com¬ bined with a local girls’ choir in order to add a great variety of songs to the program. The first con¬ cert in which both the Glee Club and choir were used together was in Hopedale in November 1946, and the combination was very successful. This was quickly followed by a home concert in Alden Me¬ morial. Besides the combined singing of choir and Glee Club there were several solos, an octet selec¬ tion, and novelty numbers by the Barber Shop Quar¬ tet. The presentation was excellent and the concert was considered the best of the year. The concert year was rounded out with a concert with Simmons College in March. Glee Club officers were: Daniel Lewis, president; Robert Jodrey, vice- president; Kenneth Tru esdell, secretary; and Wil¬ liam Land, librarian. The Club has completed a highly successful year and looks forward with an¬ ticipation to greater accomplishments. pi pp p| | m_ First Row, left to right: J. Biamon, W. Dick, J. Considine, R.

MASQUE This year’s production of the Masque, “Whistling in the Dark,” highlighted the many festivities of the Junior Prom weekend held in September. It was ably presented before an enthusiastic audience in Alden Memorial Audi¬ torium. As in past years the capacity audience was thrilled from start to finish by a thoroughly competent and very inspired cast. “Whistling in the Dark” is the story about Wally Porter, a mystery story writer, who becomes involved in an epi¬ sode that would normally appear in one of his novels. Al¬ though an intriguing mystery there are nevertheless many humorous lines. Robert Lerner played the leading role of Wally Porter, the mystery story writer who fell into the hands of the gangsters. Playing opposite him was Ruthe Platts in the role of his fiancee. She has appeared with numerous stock companies in various plays. Helen O ' Brien of the Worces¬ ter Players Club played the role of Hilda, the gun moll of the gangster organization. The gangsters were led by “Ole” Halttunen, who played his role of boss very well. His bad men were Roger Staples, Jerome Eckerman, John Lee, Ed¬ ward Powers, Leo Rose, Robert Stillwell, and Donald Story. George Butler was cast on the side of law and order. The Masque Club play was directed by Charles Rugg, who has been responsible for many other dramatic suc¬ cesses in past years at Worcester Tech. The officers in charge of the following committees were: President, Les Davis; Business Manager, Edward George; Publicity, Paul O’Donnell; and Stage Manager, John Hudson. A. S. C. E. The American Society of Civil Engineers was first start¬ ed at Tech in 1903, but it was not until 1921 that it be¬ came a national chapter. Since then it has made rapid strides and in recent years a regional conference was held here. The main purpose of the organization is to give the members an opportunity to listen to and talk with impor¬ tant men in the Civil Engineering field. At the monthly meetings, the club has a guest speaker who speaks from first hand experience on the problems encountered in con¬ struction work or some other phase of Civil Engineering. At the annual regional meetings the members have the op¬ portunity to become acquainted with prominent men in the engineering field and thereby establish contacts which will later prove invaluable. At the first meeting of the year the members had the privilege of hearing Mr. Lester W. West, a graduate of W. P. I. in the class of 1900, speak on the subject of Geo¬ detic Surveying and Triangulation. Mr. West was in charge of the Mass. Geodetic Survey in the Worcester area from 1932 to 1940, and he gave numerous interesting anecdotes concerning difficulties encountered in the running of this controlled survey. Mr. J. H. Portheus, class of ’32, at the following meet¬ ing spoke on “Interesting Problems in Modern Construc¬ tion.” He illustrated his talk with several practical prob¬ lems, showing how they had been solved, and stressed the importance of knowing the limitations of formulas used, and a thorough understanding of the problem at hand. The chapter was most fortunate in having two engineers from the W. L. E. Gurley Co. as speakers at a recent meeting. They discussed the uses, care, and adjustments of surveying instruments, illustrating their lecture with in¬ struments and slides. In conclusion they spoke on the rela¬ tively new Theodolite and the part this precision transit played in the war. American Society of Civil Engineers First Row, left to right: A.

The American Institute of Electrical Engineers was formed to give men in the profession an opportunity to keep up with modern trends and with the work of their colleagues. The student chapter at Tech is fostered by this organization so that students can enter professional life with a good idea of what to expect. With this pur¬ pose in mind, the meetings are given over to speakers who enlarge on various phases of electrical engineering. Motion pictures and inspection tours round out the pro¬ gram of the group. On December 5th, a short business meeting was held for the purpose of electing new officers. At this meet¬ ing, Kenneth H. Truesdell was elected chairman, Arne Kellstrom was elected as vice-chairman, Keith McIn¬ tyre was retained as secretary, while John Mooney was chosen treasurer of the group. On Tuesday, December 17th, another meeting was held in the Janet Earle Room. The speaker of the even¬ ing, Mr. E. S. Miekle, a native of Boston and associated with the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, spoke on the subject, “Broadcast, Television, and Stratovision.” The meeting opened with a discussion of frequency modulation followed by motion pictures of amplitude modulation. The talk was eagerly listened to by all who attended the meeting. The student chapter was the first group to make use of the projection facilities of the Alden Memorial. Sound films made available by the General Electric Company were presented after which the club members inspected the new projection equipment which was the latest of its type. A. S. M. E. Tech has always had a mechanical engineering so¬ ciety, but it was in 1914 that the group first became a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engi¬ neers. The club is very popular and is usually the larg¬ est on the campus. The purpose of the society is to ex¬ tend technical interest, and give knowledge of recent applications of engineering principles. Meetings are held every month. At these meetings the members enjoy a talk given by a prominent man in some phase of mechanical engineering. After the talk there is an opportunity to question the speaker and to discuss the subject with other members. Some of the topics discussed by the speakers this year were: “Grinding of Tungsten Carbide Tools,” by a representative of the Norton Abrasive Co., “Three Di¬ mensional Pictures,” and “Jet Propulsion and Helicop¬ ters.” This last was given by Mr. Dexter Rosen, chief of flight research for Bell Aircraft, and was considered by many to be the finest talk ever given to the organ¬ ization. Mr. Rosen also showed motion pictures illus¬ trating the development of jet propulsion and helicop¬ ters. Officers for this year were John Williams, president; Larry Garnett, vice-president; and Sidney Weatherhead, secretary-treasurer. The faculty adviser is Professor Les¬ lie Hooper. f ■ 1 v . fc fc-v- ' ' tm f.j WIot , ’ .JUgCML ' P VI w AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS: fi d k Hall, O. Halttunen, R. Perry.

Membership is not limited to foreign students, however, and anyone who has an interest in the club may become a member. The motto of the club is “Above All Nations is Humanity.” By seeking more information on world affairs, and by as¬ sociating with those of foreign birth and extraction, it seeks to foster understanding among the nations of the world. Meetings are held monthly, usually consisting of a talk on some topic of interest to club members, followed by open discussion. In many instances the meetings are held at the homes of faculty members, thus affording an opportunity for the student body and faculty to be¬ come better acquainted. Officers this year were Nai-Chong Chang, president, and Jose Biamon, secretary-treasurer. Professor Shieflev is the faculty adviser. The most popular meeting of the year was the No¬ vember meeting, which was held at the Hong Fong Restaurant. Here the group was treated to a sumptuous meal of authentic Chinese dishes, of mysterious but de¬ licious content. The dinner was instrumental in shatter¬ ing the popular belief that the Chinese all eat chop suey and chow mein. DEBATING SOCIETY The Tech Debating Society, like all other campus ac- ticities, has regained a good portion of its prewar vital¬ ity this year. Although, as in past years, the club’s mem¬ bership is small, it consists of enthusiastic and capable men who, under the shrewd guidance of Professor Eas¬ ton have gained an admirable number of wins from their twelve inter-college engagements. Once again the opposing teams were chagrined when they met the po¬ tent combination of the engineer’s logic and the de¬ bater’s fluency. Among the colleges met were Clark, Holy Cross, Worcester State Teachers’ College, Fitchburg State Teachers’ College, A. I. C., University of Vermont, and Springfield. This list indicates the quality of our op¬ position. It also suggests the variety of experience which members of the club gained. Not limited to the inter-college events, the club in¬ creased the members’ opportunities for practice and ex¬ perience by conducting formal discussions within the group itself. The intraclub contests made use of these same topics in preparation for the coming college en¬ gagements and also included other present day ques¬ tions, such as: “Should Germany Be Permanently Divid¬ ed Into At Least Three Parts?” All the members prof¬ ited from each discussion in that they gained a broader and factual understanding of the question posed. Every¬ one on the Hill can be proud of the fine impression created by the club whose officers are: President, Allen Glazer; Secretary, Peter Kahn; General Manager, Rob¬ ert Lerner and Faculty Adviser, Professor Easton in the past year.

Last November seventh, Vernon Russell, the club s president, received the station license for the Tech radio station. After four long years the voice of the engineer is agai n on the air. The station was re-licensed under its old call—W1YK—which had become one of the most widely recognized amateur calls in the country before the war. Interest revived last summer when the FCC an¬ nounced they would re-license “ham stations, and the club returned to its place as one of the strongest on the Hill. Since the beginning of the fall term, it has had an active membership of twenty men. All interest is now turned toward increasing the range of the transmitter. Replacements and additions are con¬ stantly being made which have converted it, already, from an empty relay rack into a station powerful enough to be heard across the country. A quick look at the log shows that it has recently been in contact with Miami, Tucson, New Orleans, Kansas City, and Los Angeles. In itself, this is a tribute to the engineering skill in the Radio Club since the transmitter is yet far from com¬ pleted. All these cities, for example, were contacted us¬ ing as an antenna, a length of wire hung down a stair¬ well in the EE building. After a period when the continuation of any such group was extremely difficult, the Radio Club has real¬ ly started rolling again and prospects for the future are very bright. OUTING CLUB Although relatively young in comparison with other organizations on the “Hill,” the Outing Club is becom¬ ing popular both at home and in skiing circles in Mas¬ sachusetts. Among its activities are outings and all types of winter sports, but its chief interest has always been in the direction of skiing and the Ski Team, which is under its auspices. It is about the only group on the “Hill” that leaps for joy when it snows. A program of instruction in skiing was organized for interested mem¬ bers, and Sunday ski-outings for more proficient mem¬ bers to nearby ski centers were planned. The mountains are being eyed with some hope of mountain climbing in the future. The Ski Team participated in a triangular meet with M. I. T. and Tufts, placing second to the engineers from Cambridge. Meets were also scheduled with the Worcester Ski Club, Mass. State College, and the Springfield Ski Club. The club holds regular monthly meetings in Alden Memorial at which interesting mov¬ ies and talks about skiing are presented. During these regular meetings the business and activities are also planned. (T ITIN ' C ' C I I IP First Row, left to right: P. Jones, W. DeRocher, D. Skeffington, WU I InU v_LUD: r Macdonald, R.

The Association now has its own boat on Indian Lake. The Nautical Association is now a full member of the Inter-Collegiate Yacht Racing Association, and sails in competition with such schools as Brown, M. I. T., Coast Guard, Harvard, Tufts, and Yale. The Nautical Association entered three regattas in the fall ’46 season. John and Walt Beckwith placed sixth in the B division of the first races, held at M. I. T. on August 18th. At Brown, on November 3rd, Commo¬ dore Bob Miller placed in the A division, and John and Walt Beckwith placed in the B division. Racing for the Schell trophy at M. I. T. on November 10th, John and Walt Beckwith placed in the third division, and Bob Miller placed in the second division, giving Tech a sixth for the regatta. During the winter the club boat was put in shape for the spring season, and at the meetings the members studied racing rules and sailed a few “dry” races. Officers of the Nautical Association for 1946-47: Robert Miller, Commodore; George Pano, Vice-Commo¬ dore; and Daniel McQuillan, Secretary-Treasurer. Pro¬ fessor Edward C. Brown is the faculty adviser. CAMERA CLUB The avowed purpose of the Camera Club since its beginning in 1921, has been to promote interest in pho¬ tography on the campus. In line with this policy, the present group has invited guest speakers to address the entire student body on the current topics of interest in the camera world. In April the club exhibited prints from the “Camera” magazine contest. The weekly meeting is held in the club room in Boynton Hall, which also houses the well equipped darkroom. The weekly meetings serve to bring the mem¬ bers together for a discussion of the latest topics in photo work and for a few words of advice from some of the members who have done much unusual work. A new wrinkle in photographic work for the club has been the aerial photographs taken by some of the air-minded students. In February a new constitution authored by President Bob Perkins, was put into effect. Along with the new constitution, plans were made to restore “Model Night,” long a favorite on the campus. To bring its work to the attention of the student body, the organization maintains a bulletin board in Boynton Hall. Here are exhibited the results of contests held among the club members themselves. Many of the fine landscapes appearing t here last winter later won prizes in the photographic salons in which many of the members took part. These salons are sponsored by the New England Council of Camera Clubs with which the club is affiliated. Camera Club First Row, left to right: W. Sloane, H. Hoyt, G. Gleberman, R. Perkins, J.
