Sanctuary The Class of 1952 respectfully dedicates this yearbook to Dr. Raymond Kurtz Morley. His tireless effort in the presentation of the funda¬ mentals of mathematics in our first two and forma¬ tive years at Tech has done much to lay a solid foundation for a fine engineering education. His example of integrity within the classroom and with¬ out has been one sincerely to emulate. It is with deep gratitude that we dedicate this volume to Dr. Morley; scholar, gentleman, and a true man. 19 5 2 PEDDLER WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE ■MfcppfV 1 ,; ' .: it .j|r -t Uii 1 ■■ wP ' BL iZ ftt vi i n ' ] mammm [uIuUT MMM UOWUflATI • M li jii iSig h i |rI|j V aft 33 SS JrT - - at % Ji ■J � % , - jus .

I remember as if yesterday that September twenty- seven, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, when we first assembled in Alden Memorial. In a mad scramble we were oriented, introduced, and after a visit to the book¬ store, broke. It took but a short while under sophomore direction to learn all of our WPI cheers and marches, and to make matters worse in hazing we lost the paddle rush and were pulled en masse thru Institute pond. Our hard fighting forces won in football 13-12, with Palmer, Crathern, and St. Louis starring. Harry Althen and Joe Jiunnies led our basketball team to a two point loss. Harry Althen assumed for the first of three years the office of the Class President. Our men so took their place in varsity sports. Ed Majewski, Joe Jiunnies and Bill Mehalick—football; Dick Zeleny, Ron Thompson, Bob Howell—track; ami Bill Mehalick and Bob Chapman on the basketball squad. Stu Rowe started off his fine swimming career by setting a new freshman forty yard freestyle record in leading the class to victory in the swim meet. In one of those examples of the keen rivalry between frosh and sophomores we battled in front of Sanford Riley in a manner that regained our prestige though we lost the Goats-Head on points. Harry Althen was awarded the coveted Skull Trophy as the outstanding freshman. The elections for leaders in our sophomore year came out with Bill Lloyd, president; Ed Felkel, vice- president; Dick Gates, secretary; and Ev Palmer, treasurer. The sophomore year started off on a high note as we assumed nobly our duties as guides to the new freshman. Stu Rowe acted as guiding light for the hazing period. We did manage to soundly paddle our freshman brothers in the paddle rush but to our dismay once again went through the pond. The Tech Carnival proved a hig success with Dick Gillette, John Feldsine, and Dick Boutiette showi ng their ability as Thespians. We did more than our share in sports and Joe Jiunnies, A1 Hansen, Ed Majewski, A1 Ferron, Roland St. Louis, John Feldsine, Doug Collings on the foot¬ ball squad did excellent work. Dick Zeleny cracked the record for the half-mile run as an indication of what he would do through his great cross-country career. We managed to take the Goats Head competition as it came down to the tennis match all tied, and 19 5 2 PEDDLER Manny Pappas romping over all to sew it up for the sophomores. Elections came again and Marry Althen was elected president, assisted by Warren Palmer, vice-president; Eil Samolis, secretary; Bob Chapman, treasurer. Men were chosen to lead our athletic teams in the senior year and Dick Zeleny was elected cross-country captain; Majewski and Jiunnies, football co-captains; Roland St. Louis, baseball captain; Mehalick and Chapman, basketball co-captains, and Manny Pappas, tennis captain. The Junior Coronation Ball was an outstanding success under the leadership of Charlie Thrower. Hal Reeves supplied the music. Skull tapped Harry Al¬ then, A1 Hansen, Joe Jiun¬ nies, Bill Mehalick, Roland St. Louis, Don Stewart, Bob Chapman, and Gordon Wil¬ lard. Tau Beta Pi pledged: Harry Althen, Doug Col- lings, Monroe Dickerson, Walt Jaros, Bob Lanou, Chuck Reid, Ed Samolis and Vito Sarli. The Tech Neivs elected Ed Samolis as Editor-in- Chief, and Jack Tracy as Managing Editor. Joe Lojewski, Mike Essex, Dick Cavanaugh, Bob Favreau, Dick Gillette and Ron Thompson rounded out the Senior Staff. Bob, Ed, Harry, Warren. Mike O’Neill was chosen Editor of the Peddler and Frank Flood was chosen Managing Editor. Other honorary societies selected men of our class in the spring. Eta Kappa Nu selected: Don Krauss, Monroe Dickenson, Walt Jaros, Bill Lloyd, Pete Quamo. Ed Samolis and Bob Turek. Pi Delta Epsilon chose: Frank Flood, Jack Tracy, Ron Thompson, Joe Lojewski, Dick Cavanaugh, Bob Johnson, Mike Essex, Bob Favreau, Dick Gillette, Bill Cimonetti, Ed Samolis, Roy Gullberg, Manny Pappas, Bernie Petrillo, Dick Gates, and Dave Fairbanks. The class beer party separated the men from the boys and almost sepa¬ rated the Yellow Barn from the foundations. The same slate of officers were chosen for the senior year. The Senior Year, and somewhat diminished in numbers we started off feeling somewhat more professional and less anxious about the final results. The formation of an ROTC Unit brought to the fore¬ front the excellent chance of serving our country that awaited upon graduation. The year passed in a flash seemingly. A tremendous football season, a wonderful Interfraternity Ball and the spring was here. Many of our athletics were winding up their careers. Soccer cap¬ tain Warren Palmer and team members Don Adams, A1 Foss, Shorty Ellsworth, Bob Lanou, Wayne Robert¬ son, George Seidel and Dick Schmitt; Stu Rowe and Pete Quamo in swimming; and a host of others. The prospects for jobs were wonderful and it seemed probable that all members of the class would find excellent opportunity to practice what they have learned at the Institute. This is it, no more summer vacation, no more fra¬ ternity, no more eight o’clocks, but I’m not too sure I wouldn’t be willing to try it all over again, for I have had a wonderful four years with the Class of Fifty- Two. See you at homecoming!

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE o OTHER CLASSES CLASS OF 1953 It just doesn’t seem possible, but yet it’s true; the class of ’53 is now the junior class of Tech. Three short years ago we gathered together for the first time in Alden Memorial to receive our introduction to the life at the Institute. Since that time, our band of less than two hundred has triumphantly marched ahead so that now it can look back on its past with pride and look to its future with hope. As is the case wit h all Tech men, our major objective during the first two years on the campus was to win that Goat’s Head. Introduc¬ tion to the Goat’s Head Competition was quickly brought about by our friendly sophomore class¬ mates who showed us very willingly the broad end of their paddles. Overconfident from vic¬ tory, the sophs were soon disillusioned as we gathered our forces and delivered these indi¬ viduals to the icy waters of Institute Pond. Once we started to learn the traditions of Tech, it wasn’t long before we were really an integral part of the school and began to enter the ranks of the numerous activities on the hill. Though L. to R., Dave, Dave, Harry, Don, Dave, and John. victory was ours many times, especially so at the Tech Carnival, the craftiness of the sopho¬ mores made it possible for them to win the Goat’s Head by a narrow margin of one point. This did not dampen our spirit, for means were still available by which this prize might be gained. Just a few days before the Spring Sports Banquet, the power of the frosh broke loose and with one lightning sweep the Goat’s Head was ours. Summer passed and now with the coming of fall it was our turn to introduce the innocent freshmen to the ways of Tech life. Stan Stannon and the newly indoctrinated Pelvis immediately went into action, and it wasn’t long before numerous freshmen disappeared mysteriously 1952 PEDDLER from the halls of Sanford Riley. It was soon evident that the more powerful of the two classes were we sophomores, for rapidly we gained victories in the Rope Pull and Paddle Rush. A battle-royal for the famous piece of bronze was waged all year until with the winning of bowling and track we legally possessed the trophy. Near the close of our second year, elec¬ tions were held for the oncoming junior year. The ballot was full of able members of our class and so the choice proved difficult, but when the last vote was counted, it was found that Harry Brown was President; John Greg¬ ory, Vice-President; Dave Hathaway, Treasurer; Dave Jenny, Secretary; and Don Post and Dave Holmes, Tech Council Representatives. We cautiously approached our junior year, for we had heard much about the evils and pit- falls that would present themselves at this time. Without warning, a deluge of work surrounded us, and we were soon to discover what was the true life of an engineer. It was a constant fight to keep our heads above board, but with the completion of the first term “all hands” still had their feet “squarely on the deck”. The big issue of the year was the Junior Prom. For the first time in the school history, a movement was afoot to bring a big named band to the hill. This meant added funds; immediately sides were drawn opposing and supporting this new idea. After a long heated debate, the conservative majority finally carried the ballot for the smaller size band. However, with our spirits aroused and with Fred DeBoer at the helm, plans for the Third Coronation Ball were laid. The enthusiasm which now engulfs the class insures the fact that the Junior Prom this year will be a spectacle of splendor.

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE CLASS OF 1954 Life here at Tech., at one time or another, can get you down; but if you know that you are a member of the Class of 1954, your life at the Institute is definitely bright¬ ened. When we resumed classes this fall, we found a class of high-spirited freshmen to oppose us in Goat’s Head competition. Our class officers, Dave Gotert, president; Joe Fratino, vice-president; Roger Osell, secretary; and Tom Kee, treasurer, composed a body of able leaders and we knew a successful year was ahead. The first time that we clashed with the freshmen was on Earle Bridge where our hazing program began its suc¬ cessful rule. The next time the classes met was on the football field where the paddle rush took place. It was one of those bad days, and we went down to glorious defeat at the hands of our more youthful opponents. It was on this same football field that many of our number spent one and a half hours a week drilling with the newly formed R.O.T.C. unit. It is hoped that this program will enable more fellows to finish their college education at Tech. Still having possession of the Goat’s Head from last year, we set a precedent of showing it every week. At Home Coming the coveted idol was shown from a heli¬ copter during the football game. After this, there was no telling where it was going to show up next. However, we became a little too free with it and we lost the statue after we had showed it for the eighth time. Since then we have only seen it twice—well, I guess that must be exaggerated. The freshmen, under the wand of Coach Frank Flood, managed to score a touchdown and a touchback in the last quarter, to beat a hard-fighting Sophomore eleven under Doug Codings. In a hard fought soccer tilt the Frosh again took the initiative and downed us 2 to 1. Previous to these stunning defeats, we were dragged through Institute Pond for the second time. It was rather heartbreaking to lose this one since we came so close to dragging the P I boys through the mud and slime. That night we combined with the Freshmen to help produce a very successful “pep” rally and snake dance through downtown Worcester. At the Tech Carnival the Freshmen again amazed the P III hoys by producing a mighty fine show. Their vic¬ tory officially gave them enough points to win the cov¬ eted “Goat’s Head” competition for 51-52. Although the Frosh have officially won the “Head,” they are going to have multi-trouble capturing the remaining points. This can be attested to by the outcome of the swim meet and the inter-class howling match. 19 5 2 PEDDLER 1954 Class Officers: Dave Gilbert, Rog Osell, Tom Kee, Joe Fratino.

This was nothing unusual, though for it was now the 85th year that freshmen arrived as the new low beings to be tricked and molested by upper classmen. To the upper classes, especially the sophs whom we were told were our rivals, we looked like fine “pickins” and possibly we were for a week or so. But, however, it wasn’t long before WPI began to realize that this was no usual class. For each freshman that explored the depths of Institute Pond because of violation of certain “beanie and tie” rules, there was a soph who went even farther. Possibly this spirit on the part of the freshmen overwhelmed the sophomores because in the near future the sophomores were to meet their first pitfall at the hands of the freshmen. This was the traditional paddle rush. For many Class Officers (left to right)—Brian, Ken, Fred, Dick. preceding years the sophomores had always won this event but this time when the dust had finally settled the freshmen were victorious. The next contest and perhaps the greatest of the school year was the rope pull. This contest was sensational, the freshmen won and set an all time record for speed. From this time on, the freshmen ceased to wear their beanies and ties—the proof that they were already outstanding men in an outstanding college. The freshman class was rolling on its way. Many upper¬ classmen, particularly the sophs, said that up to this point it had been sheer luck and that soon fate would catch up with us. However when a class has spirit and the complete co¬ operation of every member fate doesn’t even find a foothold. The next great step in our march forward was the Soph-Frosh football game which even though bitterly contested was a good clean game. CLEAN?! The field was a sea of mud. This was no barrier though for again the freshmen were victorious by a score of 8 - 0 . A few days later while the sophs were still smarting from their football defeat the frosh added to their troubles by winning the soccer game 2 - 1 . This was not the end though for our class believed and still believes that anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. Early in November the Tech Carnival loomed into view. In a short period of time the frosh whipped together a skit that not only won the Carnival Cup hut also the remarks of the faculty and upperclassmen who said it was one of the best skits in years. This night however brought us more than the carnival cup for this night we snatched the GOAT’S HEAD from the sophs. The freshman class has seen great accomplishments to date but there are even greater things to come. 19 5 2 PEDDLER Arango, A., Calle 62 50-5V, Medellin, Colombia. Arms, C. P., 29 Ash St., Hopkinton.

The curriculum ol Worcester Polytechnic Institute is divided among eleven departments. Of these, five are degree granting departments, five supply the essential non-engineer¬ ing courses which are necessary for rounding out an engin¬ eering education, and the eleventh is the recently established military science and tactics department. The heads of each department are responsible for the departmental administration. Their duties also consist of teaching, advising, and discussing problems with students. Their cooperation with the undergraduates is one of the main reasons why Tech students have a high regard for the Staff. The total faculty numbers over a hundred, which gives a faculty-student ratio of about one instructor for every seven students. Since many of the faculty are graduates of W. P. I., they are in a very good position to understand the problems of student engineers. The experience that they have had in industry enables them to teach with a knowledge of what is required of the newly graduated engineer. These and other phases of teaching produce a sound fundamental engineering education.

T. C. The entire Freshman class, forty-one Sophs, and four upperclassmen comprised the enroll¬ ment at the beginning of tbe year. Colonel J. E. Foster heads up the new department, ably assisted by a group of seven regular army officers and men. T. M. S. and T. headquarters are located at eighteen Boynton St. The course is comprised of two years of elementary instruc¬ tion, followed by two years of an advanced course, in which the student receives the practical training needed in the fields of radio and communication. Between the Junior and Senior year there is a six-week trainin g period, and upon graduation the student receives a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Organized Reserve Corps. The year’s drill course started on a strictly military note. The Sophomores were all picked to be Squad Leaders and Assistant Squad Leaders, much to the dismay and disgust of the Freshmen. The upperclassmen were made cadet officers, and conducted the drill with the aid of the army regulars. There are high hopes that these budding engineers will be able to compete successfully with drill teams from other schools in the very near future. One break in the drill routine came when a handful of Sophs, not members of the unit, appeared on the drill field with the Goat’s Head, symbol of interclass rivalry. They flaunted the coveted trophy while the Freshmen stood gritting their teeth at rigid attention. They flew at the Sophs when a pitying cadet officer dismissed them, but the Head was thrown over the fence to Park Avenue and Safety. In honor of the new unit, this year’s Interfraternity Ball was held on a military theme. R. 0. T. C. uniforms were ac¬ cepted dress, and the chaperones were from the M. S. and T. staff. All hands agreed that the Ball was one of the best ever. The purpose of the R. 0. T. C. is to give deserving students a chance to complete their education and at the same time prepare to serve their country in the capacity for which they are best fitted.

St. Louis Skull, the Senior Honorary Society, is vir¬ tually the ultimate in honors that can be be¬ stowed upon a student or faculty member of Worcester Tech. Owing to its nature it is the aim and desire of all Tech men to be elected to this select group. Choice of candidates is determined by personality, character, ability, and contribution to our alma mater. Skull has been an integral part of Worcester Polytechnic Institute since 1911. As a result of its objectives, that is, to further Tech spirit and to stimulate worthwhile undergraduate ac¬ tivities, its preponderance is felt time and time again at student affairs, gatherings, and in de¬ termining student policy. H. R. Althen, Jr. R. L. Chapman A. M. Hansen J. Jimmies 19 5 2 PEDDLER W. T. Mehalick G. C. Willard The society’s inner workings are cloaked in deep secrecy, its ceremonies and ritual being known only to those in its fold. The pledging ceremony held twice each year during an as¬ sembly period is most impressive. At the Skull assembly, each member of Skull, in turn, descends into the audience to seek out the chosen few and by a sign, a firm tap on the shoulder, makes known the men recognized for their leadership and active spirit in the better¬ ment of their college. In addition, each year Skull presents a trophy to that freshman whom it feels has done most for Tech. Even then, the bestowal of the trophy does not assure fu¬ ture membership for the recipient. D. H. Stewart W. E. Palmer, Jr. Several faculty members also claim title to Skull. These men initiated in the past are: Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius, Dean Francis W. Roys, Doctor Ernest D. Wilson, Doctor Albert J. Schwieger, Professor Arthur J. Knight, Pro¬ fessor Hobart H. Newell, Professor M. Lawrence Price, Professor Carl G. Johnson, Professor Don¬ ald G. Downing, Professor Edwin Higginbottom, Donald E. Smith, Coach Robert W. Pritchard, Coach Charles R. McNulty, and Professor Wil¬ liam R. Grogan. Roland R.

TAU BETA PI B Founded at Lehigh University in 1885, Tau Beta Pi has grown steadily until today it is the largest honorary fraternity for undergraduate engineers in the country, with eighty-nine chap¬ ters in the leading technical col¬ leges throughout the nation. Its purpose is to recognize those who have brought honor to their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as under¬ graduates, or by their personal accomplish¬ ments as alumni. By doing this, it aims to “foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineer¬ ing colleges of the country”. The Worcester Tech Chapter of Tau Beta Pi is a member of the Massachusetts Coordinating Council. This council is made up of the four Massachusetts chapters of Tau Beta Pi— Worcester Tech, Tufts, Northeastern, and M.I.T. Many cooperative functions, beneficial to all member colleges, are successfully carried out. Membership is open to Seniors in the upper fifth and Juniors in the upper eighth of their classes. Elections for membership are held twice yearly, in the fall and spring. The results of this year’s fall elections were announced at the assembly on October 31, and seven men were pledged to Tau Beta Pi. Of these, six were seniors and one a junior. Members Harold Althen, Douglas Codings, Monroe Dickinson, Walter Jaros, David Jenney, Donald Krauss, Robert Lanou, William Lloyd, Robert Meyer, Charles Reid, Wayne Robertson, Edward Samolis, Vito Sarli, George Seidel, Roland St. Louis- Leevi Tuomenoksa, and Richad Zeleny. The officers for the past yaar were: President, Edward G. Samolis; Vice-President, Harold R. Althen; Secretary, Monroe Dickinson; Treasurer, Roland St. Louis; Corresponding Secretary, Vito J. Sarli. SIGMA XI The chief aims and purposes of Sigma Xi, national engineering society, are two. This so¬ ciety was founded first, to recognize those under¬ graduates who have shown by their high scholarship and achievements promise as fu¬ ture scientists in the field of research; and sec¬ ond, to promote research in all scientific fields. In regard to engineering, this society is com¬ parable to the liberal arts honor society of Phi Beta Kappa. Membership to this select en¬ gineering brotherhood is limited to members of the Senior class as far as undergraduates are concerned. High scholastic averages and re¬ search ability of the student is the basis for selection. Upon initiation, the student becomes an associate member of the group while full membership is limited to faculty members and graduate students. The Worcester Tech chapter of Sigma Xi was first founded back in 1908. Since its found¬ ing at Cornell University as a national honor society in 1886, Sigma Xi has steadily grown until at present it boasts over twenty thousand members with¬ in its selective ranks. Most of the benefits of this society are received by the associate members, for periodically meetings are held at which time authoritative speakers pre¬ sent technical material on subjects of special interest. However, the meetings are not con¬ fined to members of the society but are open to all those interested in learning about the latest in technical developments. M. Dickenson, Jr., Alan S.

PI DELTA EPSILON Pi Delta Epsilon, a national honorary collegiate journalism fraternity pledged to the promo¬ tion of student participation in undergraduate publications, seeks to establish a code of ethics among the staffs of the individual college publications. It is the purpose of this frater¬ nity to elevate the cause of jour¬ nalism, to foster the mutual welfare of student publications, to encourage loyalty to Alma Mater, and to reward the journalists working on the student publications for their efforts and accomplishments. Pi Delta Epsilon was founded in 1909 at Syracuse University and the local chapter was organized in 1948. Members of this fraternity are chosen from the staffs of both the Tech News and Peddler as well as those members of the faculty who by their interests promote the general welfare of Pi Delta Epsilon. Twice each year, in the Fall and Spring, pledgings are held at a school assembly. Each pledge at this time receives a printer’s slug and a white carnation, symbols of his acceptance into the organization. Most of the work done by Pi Delta Epsilon is formulated in regular meetings held by the members. Most of this work naturally concerns the two college publications and problems common to both. Aside from this, Pi Delta Epsilon annually sponsors an “Interfraternity Sing”, usually in the early Spring. Election of officers are held at the final meet¬ ing of each year. This year’s officers were Frank L. Flood, president; Paul M. O’Neil, vice- president; Richard C. Gillette, secretary; and Emmanuel J. Pappas, treasurer. Members David R. Fairbanks, Richard T. Gates, Bernard J. Petrillo, Paid M. O’Neil, Frank L. Flood, Richard E. Cavanaugh, Michael J. Essex, Robert L. Favreau, Richard C. Gillette. Roy G. Gullberg, Robert D. Johnson, Joseph D. Lojewski, Emmanuel J. Pappas, Edward G. Samolis, Ronald E. Thompson, John M. Tracy, Harold F.

Gamma-Delta Chapter of Worcester Tech, the newest honor group on the Hill, was installed on June 2, 1950. The chapter became the fiftieth of the Association which boasts over 16,000 members in fifty-three colleges and twelve alumni groups. Electrical students are chosen who have ful¬ filled the requirements set forth by the pre¬ amble and who are in the upper fourth of the Members: R. K. Davenport, M. M. Dickinson Jaros, Jr., D. M. Krauss, L. W. Lloyd, Jr., W. E. G. Samolis, G. H. Sanderson, R. E. Sullivan, 1 junior class or upper third of the senior class. Pledging occurs twice during the year, in the fall and then again in the spring. Newly-elected men must carry a dry cell at all times during their pledgeship. Eta Kappa Nu was founded in 1904 at the University of Illinois. It aims to assist and aid its members in becoming better men in their chosen professions and in becoming better citi¬ zens. Also, its purpose is to improve the stand¬ ards of the profession, the courses of instruc¬ tion, and the institutions where chapters are established. Officers for the past year were: President, P. Quamo; Vice-President, M. Dickinson; Re¬ cording Secretary, W. Jaros; Treasurer, R. Turek; Corresponding Secretary, D. Krauss;; Bridge Correspondent, E. Samolis. , Jr., R. G. Giguere, L. T.

THE ACKERS Malt does more than Milton can To justify God’s ivay to man. —A. E. Housman Early in the fall of 1950, the chemical engi¬ neering department noticed that the material balances in the continuous distillation reports went beserk, the Aspirant Chemical Engineers Risibility Society had been formed. It was in October that two enterprising and enthusiastic juniors, struck with the exigency of an informal safety valve to relieve scholastic pressure, met before the small group of founders to present their proposal and aspirations. The organiza¬ tion was soon flowing smoothly. A head Acher was chosen and, foam comb in hand, he set up various important committees. The first of these was an educational committee known as the Basic Bare Beer Facts committee, whose duty it was to instruct the members on the his¬ tory of beer thereby allowing them to become, not only more risible, budweiser. This year the depleted group returned and soon replenished its ranks with new members whose spirit indicated that they aspired to the high ideals of the organization. The group, acting under the influence, moved on to great things. Foremost among these was a moral vic¬ tory over the IHEE in basketball, and an inspec¬ tion trip to the Ballentine Brewery in which the group, acting as a unit, threw the daily out¬ put of the plant completely out of line. How¬ ever, even more welcome than the free beer, was “Doc” Wilson who received his derby and suspenders and became the official faculty ad¬ visor at a touching ceremony in a local meet¬ ing place. The AChERS hold weekly meetings at which all important matters are taken quickly in hand and disposed of, the group always acting under the inspiring words of one of their illustrious alumni “shattup and drink your beer.” THE I.H.E.E. “Wine is fine from grapes on a vine, But only for old dowagers with tastes sublime .” -—-’52 Poet Laureate The 1HEE was christened and launched in a bath of golden champagne by members of the illustrious Class of 1949 and has mellowed considerably during a three-year aging process. Back in the days of Saturday classes, the char¬ ter members-to-be would find themselves drawn to the Boynton after classes to discuss the vari¬ ous technical accomplishments attained during the week. By 1950 the group had been molded into an efficient, functioning society. Indicative of this was the formation of the special committee posts of Poet Laureate, Song Director, and Choreographer. Long to be remembered for advancement in all fields, the talented 1952 group kept the keg rolling by “creating and promulgating a healthy academic spirit and actively partici¬ pating in worthy college endeavours’ ' . The year saw the disciples of “LiT Roby” enjoying the first annual alumni picnic and excelling in the athletic competition with the AChERS. Becoming more specialized three new committee posts were formed: Historian, Photographer and Horti¬ culturist. Continuing on its colorful style, the senior social society on the hill realized the many utopian ideals so aptly expressed by their malt- loving forefathers. Returning IHEE alumni beamed with pride as they gazed upon the men of their choice diligently performing the tasks necessary to maintain the character supremacy typifying the organization.

PEDDLER The dictionary says a yearbook is a “book published once a year, or annually revised, usually to give statistical information.” When analyzing such a publication from an objective viewpoint this would appear to be the case; however, it has always been the policy of the Peddler staff to present this information in a manner keeping with the spirit of Tech. It is for this reason that the 1952 yearbook has had its face lifted. The comic engineer and his trusty transit have replaced the college seal, and the pages have been livened up with sketch¬ es of Tech life to capture the feeling of the school. To the outsider this book contains a concise report of the activities at Tech this year, but to the student on the Hill it contains a treasure chest of past events that can be brought to life again and again in years to come. 1952 PEDDLER TECH The Tech News, the official student paper on the Hill, plays an important part in present¬ ing the latest campus news, in recognizing those students elected to honors, and in presenting feature material of particular interest to the Tech student. The paper plays a multiple role NEWS in journalism owing to its goals, that is, to further and nurture Tech spirit. At times it may act as a potpourri humor issue, publicity organ, or bulletin board, in addition to its main function of presenting the news. The weekly publication is a member of both the Intercollegiate Press and the Associated Col¬ legiate Press, being recognized for its profes¬ sional presentation and active pursuits. The critic service offered by these two organizations has done much to keep the Tech News abreast with the latest in professional technique. The members of the staff for the past year were: Editor-in-Chief, Edward G. Samolis; Managing Editor, John M. Tracy; News Editor, Joseph D. Lojewski; Feature Editor, Richard E. Cavanaugh; Secretary, Richard C. Gillette; Sports Editor, Michael J. Essex, Jr.; Business Manager, Robert L. Favreau; Advertising Manager, Ronald E. Thompson; Circulation Manager, Robert D. Johnson.

TECH COUNCIL The Council of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, better known on the hill as the Tech Council, has, as stated in its constitution, been adopted by the stu¬ dent body for the purpose of “furthering the interest of the Institute in all possible ways.” To achieve this goal the council functions as a strong connecting link between the students and the faculty and also acts as the central governing organization for many of the undergraduate activities. The membership of the council is divided into two classes, ex-officio and elective. The ex-officio mem¬ bers are the president of the Institute and the presi¬ dent of the classes, clubs, and other organizations on the hill. The elective members consist of two faculty representatives, at present, Prof. Rice and Prof. Down¬ ing, Prof. Rice serving as secretary-treasurer of the organization, and two men from each class plus the president of the council who is elected from the senior class by the whole student body. The direct duties of the council consist of super¬ vising class elections and finances, enforcing the Ac¬ tivities Eligibility Code, which limits the number of activities that a man may participate in, directing the drafting of the class constitutions, and controlling the Freshman hazing. In addition, any problems, questions, or complaints of the students are fully discussed with the intent of finding the best possible solution. Thus the Tech Council is an invaluable part of the Tech scene, serving as the student activity governing organization and as the main link between the stu¬ dents and the faculty.

The Masque is another one of those Tech organizations that has to function under the handicap of a tight study schedule. It alone is a problem to cram a lot of technical information into one’s brain, but to also learn the lines of a three act play on the side seems somewhat of an impossi¬ bility. However, for 29 years the members of this group have been thrilling Tech audiences with their polished productions. Much of the credit for a successful play goes to two groups who never appear in the glare of the footlights. One of these groups is composed of lighting technicians, stage hands, and those who make the sets to be used. The other group, the business staff, bas the job of printing up programs and selling ads to the dealers in the city. There is no doubt that both of these factions play as big a part off stage in producing a show as the actors do on stage. Since all members cannot act in the major production, the Masque also produces two one act plays during the year, these being presented at Wednesday morning assemblies. These plays, entirely under student direction, also give freshmen and upper classmen a chance to obtain points necessary for membership into the organization.

GLEE CLUB The Glee Club has had an active and successful season, giving many concerts in Worcester and at other New England colleges. The group opened the year’s activity by going to Colby Junior College on December 1st and presenting a Christmas concert. One of the highlights of this concert was the singing of “The Night Before Christmas” by six members of the octet and six girls from Colby Junior College. In January the club had an exchange of concerts with the University of Connecticut. At these concerts the Tech Glee Club was supplemented by thirty girls from Becker Junior College. On April 20 both the Tech and Becker Glee Clubs gave a joint concert at Horticul¬ tural Hall, as part of the Civic Music Series. The first two weekends of May found the Glee Club giving concerts at the House in the Pines at Wheaton College and at Bridgewater State Teachers Col¬ lege. In addition to these concerts the Glee Club sang at various school func¬ tions. This year the glee club made a re¬ cording at Station WTAG, and the program was broadcast on The Friend¬ ship Hour in February. The octet also made a recording of some of their selections and this was broadcast at a later date.

Outstanding among these is the W. P. I. Marching Band. With a complement of 42 men this organization played at all of the home football games and also made the trip to Amherst. Resplendent in their Maroon and White uniforms, the hand enter¬ tained the spectators at the halves of these games both with their precision marching formations and with their music. Their professional appearance was further enhanced by the matchless baton twirling of Jack Thomas Schmid. In addition to playing at these athletic events the band presented an assembly concert January 16. At this time they had as their guests several young ladies from Auburn High School who displayed their baton twirling abilities. Need it be said that this was the best attended assembly of the year? On the evening of May 10 the band presented their annual spring concert. This year the band has operated under more com¬ plete student management than it has in the past and a great deal of credit must be given to the officers for the success which the band has enjoyed. The officers included. President, Bill Walsh; Business Mgr., Dick Boutiette; Librarian, Bill Jones; Property Mgr., Hank Camosse; Asst. Prop. Mgr., Bob Niro; Student Director, Carl Comins; and Director and Faculty Advisor, Bill Lynch. Front row (left to right): F. E. Marey, J. O. Morin, R. E. Gilbert, M. N. Hoeehsetter, W. N. Neupert, H.

In what other manner can the musical renditions of the Boyntonians, calculated to soothe the weary student’s brain, he classified? These young musicians, all maestros of their own particular instruments, combine their talents to supply the musical aires for school dances, engineering society parties, and other socials on campus. Not unlike the famed Mac Namara’s band which played at wakes, weddings, and funerals, these boys do not confine themselves to the dance floors of Worcester Tech. They frequently supply music for various wedding receptions and parties that are held in the Worcester area. Upon listening to the performance of the orchestra, and then glancing at the study schedules of its members, one wonders when this hand finds time to practice their numbers so as to present them in a well organized man¬ ner. In an attempt to find an answer to this question this writer inquired of one of the mem¬ bers as to how the organization arranged its schedule of rehearsals. “Oh,” said the musician, “we always see to it that we have a rehearsal before each performance.” Here’s hats off to a group which gives its time and effort to provide, almost extemporane¬ ously, entertainment for the students here at Tech. 1952 PEDDLER NAUTI¬ CAL CLUB First row (left to right): W. H. Nagel, C. D. Flanagan, D. S. Jenney, M. E. Seddon, L. H. Henschel. Second row (left to right): W. F. Taylor, P. A. Bourdon, C. L. Lawhon. The Nautical Association, under the able leadersliip of faculty advisor R. E. Wagner, enjoyed a very success¬ ful year. The highlight of the season was Tech’s victory in a quadrangular regatta at Tufts. Tech won the event with 47 points followed closely by Tufts (42), Brown (39), and Babson (36). Outstanding for the Techmen were Charles Flanagan and Dave Jenney. Tech also took part in the New England Dinghy Championships at M.I.T., and although they did not emerge victorious, they did manage to receive a bid to compete in the consolations at Dartmouth on May 10. In addition to participating in races, the members held regular meetings once a week during the fall and spring and once a month during the remainder of the school year. The meetings consisted of motion pictures and lectures on rules and instructions in nautical mat¬ ters. One of the association’s immediate plans is to purchase plastic boats. The officers this year were: David Jenney, Com¬ modore; Robert Oram, Vice-Commodore; and Cy Vershon, Secretary-Treasurer. OUTING CLUB The Outing Club’s chief activity is that of sponsoring Worcester Tech’s Ski Team. The club is a member of the New England Intercollegiate Ski Conference which sponsors ski meets every weekend, in which schools such as Holy Cross, Brown, Boston Univer¬ sity, Boston College, Northeastern and Tufts participate. The agenda of the club is really well stocked with events to appeal to any outdoors man. This spring Tech is sponsoring the Middlebury Snow¬ ball at Middlebury College, and the entire club will participate in several spring trips. These include climbing expeditions to Mount Washington, and Mount Monadnock in Keene, New Hampshire. The Outing Club has meetings scheduled for every other Thursday in Boynton Hall. The officers for the school year are Bob Baker, President; Dave Holmes, Vice President; Ken Healy, Secretary; and Ken Haaland, Treasurer. Seated (left to right): R. E. Lanou, R. E. Baker, K. E.

One of the duties performed by the S.C.A. is the Freshman orientation program sponsored each fall. This program acquaints the incoming Freshman class with the functions and traditions of the Institute. Com¬ plimentary blotters and copies of the Tech Bible are presented to the whole student body at this time. Another important activity of the S.C.A. is the maintenance of the Student Center at Riley House. Here, a coffee shop, a library, and space for relaxa¬ tion are at the disposal of the students. Probably the most important work of the S.C.A. is the weekly assembly program held in Alden Memorial for the benefit of both faculty and students. These assemblies consist of both school and outside activi¬ ties, and feature speakers, musical programs, and mo¬ tion pictures, providing entertainment as well as in¬ formation. RADIO CLUB This year has found the Radio Club enjoying a very active season. With the aid of Professor Newell and Mr. Dan¬ iels, the club has met informally each week and conducted business meet¬ ings once a month. The activities of the group were under the able direc¬ tion of the following officers: Dave Hallock, President; Ken Lang, Vice- President; and Tom Snyder, Secretary- Treasurer. Dave also acted as Chief Operator. The club operates on three amateur bands, and confirmed contact was made with a large number of other stations. At the writing of this article, these contacts included fifteen foreign coun¬ tries and thirty-six states, and the members have high hopes of reaching every state in the union by the end of the year.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB The Cosmopolitan Club was organized in 1909 for the purpose of promoting a better understanding between people from different parts of the world. From the date of the club’s inception it has drawn the foreign students closer to an understanding of the American way of life, and at the same time has given the American students a better idea of the customs of other lands. This year the club held meetings about once every three weeks and presented many varied and interesting programs. Two outstanding meetings of the year were held at the homes of Dean Howe and Dean Swan. The officers of this year’s group were: Philip Randall, President; Bernard Brennan, Vice President; Joseph Holmes, Treasurer; Jon Steingrimsson, Secretary; and John Hertz, Assistant Secretary.

CAMERA CLUB Although we don’t read or hear about the Tech Camera Club every day, it is a very active association, and a visit to the basement of Boynton Hall will well verify the eagerness and enthusiasm of these camera “fiends”. At present there are thirty members in the organization. Dues of $2.00 per year take care of the minor expenses which the club incurs during their time of operation. Improvements on the Boynton Hall dark room each year were no exception this year. Painting the room and tiling the working surfaces were carried out and special racks were made for holding equipment. Under the capable leadership of Larry Henschel, President; Roy Wise, Secretary; and Paul London, Treasurer, the club was able to give a good account of itself during the past year.

The Varsity Club was formed about a year ago for the purpose of helping the athletes of the school. This it accomplishes by collecting hooks at the end of each year and by raising money through social functions. Last Spring the Varsity Club held a variety show and dance and this year it is planning a water show and dance. Membership in the Varsity Club is limited to men who have made their varsity letters at Worcester Tech or to men that have contributed a great deal to athletics here on “the hill”. To belong and be an active member there is an assessment of $2.00 dues each year. It is hoped by the founders that the Varsity Club will become an active organization and will accomplish its aim of helping needy athletes that come to Tech. DEBATING CLUB Continuing in the fine tradition of its past, the W. P. I. Debating Society has done exceptionally fine work this year. Under the guidance of Mr. Johnson, faculty adviser, our team has, to date, met and beaten such powerful teams as Holy Cross, Harvard, Clark and University of Connecticut. If past performance is any indication of things to come, we may see W.P.I. represented at the National Debating Tournament at West Point. The general topic for most of the debates this year has been one on a most complicated economic and social problem: “Resolved—that the United States Federal Government should adopt a program of permanent wage and price controls.” This topic has created many exciting and close de¬ bates. The officers of the club this year include Bill Bicknell, president; Dave Hathaway, secretary; and Tom Roth- well, manager. First row (left to right): L. A. Gagnon, T. H. Rothwell, W. C. Bicknell, D.

The Newman Club, organized for the purpose of “promoting Catholic culture and Catholic Fellowship” among students of the Roman Catholic faith, enjoyed a very successful and enlightening season of social activities and interesting informal lectures. Father Cahill of Holy Cross was a frequent and popular guest. His serv¬ ices and those of others were obtained through the efforts of Chaplain, Father Harry Brabson. President Dud DeCarli, vice-president A1 Bafaro and secretary-treasurer Dick Samolis, successfully undertook the major task of complete re-organization of the club. LITERARY SOCIETY Under the able supervision of Pro¬ fessor Mackenzie the W. P. I. Literary Society has expanded its program this year in order to reach more students and members of the faculty. Regular monthly meetings have been held in the Janet Earl Room. The Society has become a clearing house for student as well as faculty opinions on topics of literary, philosophical and social interests. Guests were invited to lead the group in round-table discussions. In one of the outstanding meetings of the year Dr. Anderson, head of the English Department at Clark Univer¬ sity, led a stimulating discussion about George B. Shaw’s “St. Joan”. Plans for the future seem to indicate expansion as one of the major aims of the society. The new president of the club is John Hertz. Bill Bascom is vice- president and Jack Russell and Carl Nord are secretary and treasurer re¬ spectively. First row (left to right): J. H. MaeKenzie, J. P. Russell, J. Hertz, W. D. Baseom.

E. student chapter had another excellent year with its activities. Membership was taken by all eligible students. The student meetings provided a varied and interesting ad¬ junct to the regular curricula. The members heard talks on suspension bridges, consulting engineering, railroad engineering, and student talks. Highlights of the year’s meetings were talks by Mr. Jackson Durkee ’44, on the North and West Tacoma Narrows Bridge and a joint meeting held with the Worcester Society of Civil Engineers at which the students gave demonstra¬ tions of soils testing before a large group of local engineers. At the last regional meeting of the New England Student Chapters at the University of Massachusetts, the chapter had an excellent representation. Several members sub¬ mitted papers at the meeting which were prize winners. Members also made several field trips and a delegation attended a meeting at Boston of The Boston Society at which the noted Dr. Steinman spoke. The chapter received an honor¬ able mention award for its work during the previous year from the parent A. S. C. E. Officers for the past year were John M. Tracy, president; Frank Flood, vice-president; George Hill, treasurer; and David Holmes, secretary. Professor F. J.

E. at Worcester Tech is one of the more than 125 active student branches throughout the country. Its main purpose is to give the student member an introduction to the paren t Society and to professional engineering in general. Member¬ ship is open to all those students majoring in Mechanical Engineering and entitles them to many privileges of the professional organization, including subscription to the very fine publica¬ tion of the Society. The Student Branch conducted several meet¬ ings during the year, the most informative one of which was held in conjunction with the Worcester Section of the A.S.M.E. At this meeting several outstanding executives and engineers from the Worcester area held a panel discussion relative to future employment of engineering students. At the other meetings a lecture on some technical subject was presented by a well-known engineer. These informative and entertaining talks, supplemented by a chance to meet the speakers, provided several enjoyable evenings. This year the Student Branch was composed of eighty-five members. The officers for the year were: Robert Baker, Chairman; Robert Howell, Vice-Chairman; and George East, Secretary-Treasurer. The Honorary Chairman was Professor F. N. Webster.

AlChE The Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers was organized in 1940 and ac¬ cepted as a member of the national association two years later. The main purpose of the organization is to promote interest in the various branches of chemical engineering, and to introduce its members to the fine professional association to which they belong. The AIChE chapter at Tech affords an opportunity to come in contact with, and to observe the importance of, chemical engineering. Meetings are held about once a month and usually feature a speaker who is prominent in some field of chemical engineering. Many are nationally prominent businessmen, who offer a great deal of the professional aspect that makes a good engineer. These informal talks are not only instructive hut also help the stu¬ dent to decide on the phase of chemical engineering in which he would like to begin. The Tech chapter also participates each year in the New England Region¬ al Conference which was originated at W. P. I. in 1949. This year it will be held at Tufts College. The AIChE has a varied and interesting social pro¬ gram each year, as we all know, and this year much progress has been made socially. The Unit Op Hop was a great success as usual, and the annual picnic flowed smoothly. The innovation is a Ladies Night, to which members may bring their dates to see a good, non-technical film. The officers of the AIChE for the year were: Harold F. DiCarli, President; John J. Gregory, Vice President; Richard Zeleny, Secretary; and John D. Coupe, Treasurer. 2 PEDDLER First rotv (left to right): A. M. Hansen, M. M. Dickinson, L. W. Lloyd, Prof. D. C. Alexander, W. F. Jaros, G. R. Polen. Second row (left to right): J. F. Burke, L. S.

AIEE-IRE Nationally, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Institute of Radio Engineers offer many opportunities for the graduate student to keep himself fully acquainted with the advancements and develop¬ ments in the field of electricity and its related sub¬ jects. Here at Tech the group has been a joint organization since 1946, with members belonging to the student division of both. The group meets about once a month and the pro¬ gram is a varying one. Once each year a joint meeting is devoted to the oral presentation of student-prepared papers, with the outstanding ones usually going on to the AIEE district meeting. The high spot as far as student interest is concerned is the annual Forum. Here student and professor meet on even grounds and offer one another a great deal in the line of corrective criticism and helpful suggestions. The organization has a firm belief in the age-old expression that “All work makes Jack a dull boy” and therefore, an annual Sparks Party is presented. This affair offers all Tech men and E. E.’s in particular a chance to show the fairer sex the workings behind the light switch and also to impress upon them some of the vast amount of the phenomena associated with electricity. Professor Alexander serves as faculty advisor and does a fine job every year. The slate of officers who have ably directed the organization this year are: Bill Floyd, Chairman; Ray Polen, Vice-Chairman; Mike Shebek, Treasurer; A1 Hansen, A. I. E. E. Secretary; and Munroe Dickinson, I. R. E. Secretary. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE G — 00 — K- 0 — LO— - K - c J— First row (left to right): J. J. Gregory, J. F. Malloy, A. M. Hansen, M. P.

Six stand-out football men wrote a final chapter in their book of colleg¬ iate competition this year as they sparked the Worcester Polytechnic In¬ stitute team to a four-win, two-loss season. These men, co-captains Joe Jiunnies and Ed Majewski, A1 Hansen, Bill Mehalick, Ro St. Louis, and John Feldsine teamed with the rest of Pritchard’s Proteges in producing a high-spirited, hard-fighting football force. Tech’s 1951 gridiron delegation gave its fans plenty to cheer about through¬ out the season. Starting with a three- game winning streak with which they have closed the 1950 season, Worcester gridders ground out four more vic¬ tories in their first four appearances in 1951 before giving way to a strong. fast, and undefeated Coast Guard eleven in the season’s fifth contest. In stretching their victory string to seven, the Engineers had only one game in which they could do it the easy way; that was the opener with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Against Massachusetts at Amherst the following week, Worcester had to come from behind in the third period and 1952 PEDDLER then hold on to a precarious one-point margin for well over a full quarter. In the Hamilton game a week later it was also a case of coming from be¬ hind to win. Nor was the Rensselaer game any different, for the victory came on a sustained drive late in the fourth period. Tech’s other loss was to a good Norwich team in the season’s finale. Massachusetts Maritine The Techmen cut loose all the strings in showing mid-season form on open¬ ing day as they romped over a weak Mass. Maritime team, 46-6. The locals could have written any score imagin¬ able for the game, as they scored al¬ most at will. The Pritchard men rolled up two touchdowns the first two times in possession of the pigskin. Shebek and Abdow each scored twice, while Malloy, Mehalick, and Eldredge ac¬ counted for the other three TD’s. The Sailor’s sole marker came late in the final period, when they scooped up a WPI fumble on the 32 and marched to the goal posts. Tom O’Connor showed evidence of glory to come as he hit successfully on two of his three conversion attempts. University of Massachusetts They said it couldn’t happen again, but it did! Once again the Gods Hamilton Held in check over the first half by a surprisingly strong Hamilton College squad, the Engineers of Worcester Tech exploded for three last-half touch¬ downs to defeat the Continentals 21-14 at the latter’s home field. At the half-time intermission the Pritchardmen trailed, 7-0. Yet only three plays in the third period netted a WPI TD to tie the score. The Tech team remained complete masters of the game throughout this and the final period as they scored twice more. The first two markers came on Jiunnies’ passes; one to Peterson, and the second to Holmes. Abdow punched through from the 12 for the final six-pointer. Tom O’Connor again had a field day, as he pumped three for three through the uprights. Hamilton finally scored a second time late in the final period on a 4-8 yard solo jaunt. But the all-important final score read Tech 21, Hamilton 14. and Fates smiled and the seemingly impossible was accomplished. The fighting, never-say-die Engineers re¬ peated their yearly conquest of the all-powerful state university by the usual and monotonous one point mar¬ gin, but with a new twist to the scor¬ ing; this time it was 14-13. Though out-manned, out-gained, out- passed, and even edged in punting honors, the Techmen out-fought and out-scored the Amherstites, and came home with the Redmen’s scalps swing¬ ing from their belts. It was the spit- polished toe of Tommy O’Connor that turned the trick, as the cool conversion specialist popped two sweet points- after. So once again, three years run¬ ning, it was this capitalizing on the conversion point that broke the back of Coach Tommy Eck and his wild Indians. The Statesmen hit first at the end of the second period, but missed on the extra point attempt. Tech bounced back early after the half when Peter¬ son recovered a fumble and Abdow scooted over for the marker. Tech continued to roll in this third period as Jiunnies passes ground out yardage and finally hit for a TD with Holmes on the receiving end. O’Con¬ nor toed-in both of the points; the second from the seven after a five yard penalty against Tech. With the scoreboard now reading 14-6 the Indians were on the war path. In less than a minute they passed and ran their way to a touchdown, and as Coach Eck fell to his knees, their kick was good. 14-13. The Engineers, though slowed by the persistent battering from ever-fresh State reserves, now had the will and determination to win. From tackle to tackle the line stiffened, and the secondary tightened to the point where the shifty Mass. U. backs never got a chance to roll. The game, for the most part, was slow and methodical to watch, with Tech having an edge only in the last- ditch defense department, but the out¬ come was a dream come true, as Tech won, 14-13. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Abdow Off Tackle R.P.I. The Worcester Tech Warriors rolled on to their seventh consecutive win as they rocked a strong RPI team, 12-7, before a capacity Homecoming Day audience. The out-weighed and out-manned Engineers roared back from a 7-6 deficit to whip the ancient rivals. It was the spectacular running of juniors Shebek and Gregory, under the inspired leadership of quarterback Jiunnies that seemed to snap the Pritchardmen from the depths of des¬ pair and send them on to victory. Tech scored first on a Jiunnies-to- Peterson pass, but the point was missed, and the half closed with Tech leading, 6-0. RPI bounced back after the half and went ahead, 7-6. The pay-off drive came late in the final period after Worcester took possession of the ball on its own 35. Here Gregory and Shebek took com¬ mand of the running situation and carved out large chunks of yardage to move the ball to the visitors 4 yard line. Jiunnies faded back to flip. The scene was predominantly RPI, however, so big Joe plowed over the goal line himself. This was the only touchdown Jiunnies scored during his four seasons of master-minding for the Engineers. For them it meant victory over their rivals from Troy for the first time in five years. Coast Guard Two undefeated teams faced each other on the gridiron in New London. Tech was rated the underdog, how¬ ever, on the strength of impressive Coast Guard victories over Norwich, Trinity, Wesleyan, and Amherst. The pre-game predictions proved correct as the Middies pounded out four touch¬ downs to Tech’s one and took the game 27-7. The Engineers fought the local club on even terms for three of the four periods, but stumbled in the second quarter when Coast Guard scored three times and converted twice for a total of 20 points. The Techmen were vastly improved after the half; so much so that that canto was a 7-7 ball game. The sole Worcester score came in the final period after Hansen and Fritz blocked a punt and Tech gained possession on the 35. Malloy scored from the two, and the conversion at¬ tempt was good. And so the Tech win skein was snapped at seven, and thoughts of an undefeated season flitted away. It was fitting that it was this excellent Coast Guard team that snapped the streak, though, for they were by far the best opposition faced all season. Norwich University The season’s finale took place on Alumni Field in Worcester. Pre-game predictions called it anyone’s ball game as Tech and Norwich lined up, though on the basis of comparative scores, Norwich was a one touchdown favorite. Not This Time 19 5 2 PEDDLER The Horsemen scored first when they recovered a fumhle, and moved out in front 7-0. In the second period Tech evened it up as Holmes scored and O’Connor added the point. Norwich bounced right hack with another TD, to lead 14-7 at half time. Early in the third period the Vermonters scored again, this time with a fine passing attack. In this same period Jiunnies was injured and St. Louis took over in the q-back spot. On one of his first plays, St. Louis faded back behind behind perfect protection and flipped a Above: Co-Captains Ed Majewski and Joe Jiunnies. pass from the Tech 4 to Holmes on the 45. Holmes ran it all the way unmolested. This, and the point after, put Tech back in the game, 14-20. In the final period the Engineers scored again, on successive passes to Malloy and Holmes. The conversion was not good; the score was tied 20-20. When the Engineers refused to settle for a tie and took to the air again in a desperate attempt to win, a St. Louis pass was intercepted. Norwich squeaked a final marker across, and the final score read Norwich 26, Tech 20. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Front row (left to right): A. S. Foss, W. W. Robertson, R. G. Schmitt, T. C.

Soccer on Boynton Hill swung into high-gear on the first day of the school year when a number of veterans, as well as new enthusiasts, reported to the field for the first practice session. With last year’s assistant, Jim Geddes, now head coach, the Tech team was preparing for a rugged schedule. Jim McKechnie, a newcomer to the campus and a true soccer player himself, was made assistant coach. The return of Warren Palmer, captain and goalie, gave the team the leader it really needed and thus the stage was set for the first game. On the afternoon of the first game a grim and determined eleven took the field at home and found a well- seasoned opponent, Trinity, facing them. Except for the last period the contest was a real thriller, the score never being decided by more than one point either way. However, in that final stanza the weary Tech hoot¬ ers saw two more goals scored and the “Bishops” were the victors, 4-1. Our lone goal was scored by Adams, as¬ sisted by Davidson, when there was a scramble in front of the victor’s nets. Captain Palmer, Willard, and Schmitt played a marvelous game defensively. The following Saturday saw the Uni¬ versity of Massachusetts visiting the Class of ’93 Field and the spectators will long remember this game. Tech’s Haaland and Davidson gave us a 2-1 lead at the half. In the third period the squads showed more spirit than ever before in the game and all indica¬ tions led to a rough and tumble second half. The U. of M. scored twice to take the lead 3-2, but Couto scored on a great penalty kick to send the game into overtime. It was a tense period with both teams pointing keenly for the winning goal; however, U. of M. scored on a mix up in front of our goal. But with a few minutes re- 19 5 2 PEDDLER 1 maining Couto scored once again on a penalty kick to make the score again tied at 4-4 and the game ended with neither team being disappointed at losing. Homecoming Weekend saw the Tech men play their last home game of the season. They finally joined the win column by defeating Clark University 2-0. It was a closely contested game as each team tried desperately to out- kick and out-run the other. However, WPI had the goods and put them to work. About midway through the second period the Tech hooters made their first goal as Couto, inside right, kicked one into the goal and the Clark goalie fumbled it. The third period went without any goals being made, but the terrific fight and de¬ termination of both teams was thrill- packed as the long-time rivals played it out. Our second goal was made in the last quarter when the pressure was still on. Malas, inside-left, took a shot at the goal about a foot from the end stripe of the field and the Clark fullback got mixed up with the ball and deflected it into the goal. Thus the game ended with Tech on the top end of the score. It was fitting that the engineers, after being tied and beaten previously, should score the Midfield Contact WORCESTER Blocked Out initial triumph behind the solid root¬ ing of a good homecoming crowd. Playing their first game away the Polymen showed that they could be just as much of a threat away from home. At Medford they defeated a powerful Tufts team 2-1 in the last thirty sec¬ onds of play. The Jumbo men drew first blood in the early part of the first period. Two of our boots narrow¬ ly missed and a beautiful rebound from the head came close, and still Tech couldn’t score. However, mid¬ way through the second period Schmitt, left halfback, sent a low boot into the goal tieing the score at 1-1. Finally Malas sent the deciding kick into the nets in the last seconds of play. It was the strong defense, consisting of Palmer, Willard, Strage, Ellsworth, Foss and Schmitt, which turned the tide on the men from Medford. The Boston University game was played away from home on Nickerson Field. The game proved fatal for us in two ways. Schmitt injured his knee and was sidelined for the rest of the season and we had to accept defeat, 2-1. It was our left outside man, Beach, who scored the single Tech goal. In the final game of the season the Worcester Tech soccer team saw nine seniors participate in their last game as TM. I. T., our arch rival, deadlocked us 2-2. Willard opened the Tech scor¬ ing at the end of the first period on a penalty kick. Tech’s second goal was made by Beach in the second period when the M. I. T. goalie dropped the ball. Everything would have been fine but the opponents came back to tie the game. Due to the coaches’ agreement the game didn’t go into overtime. The defensive standouts were Sealey and Corujo who broke up many of the enemies’ relentless attacks. Tech seniors who played in their last game were: Captain Warren Palm¬ er, Gordon Willard, Warren Ellsworth, A1 Foss, Don Adams, Dick Schmitt, Wayne Robertson, George Seidel and Bob Lanou. The season was found to be somewhat successful with its 2 wins, 2 ties, and 2 losses. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Front row (left to right): F. W. Madigan, D. G. Post, Capt. R. E. Thompson, R. A.

From the beginning of October to the end of May, one may watch Tech’s track team in action. In the fall, cross¬ country is in the limelight. This is quickly followed by the relay races, indoor track, and finally outdoor track. The cross-country season opened against a very powerful University of Mass, team, and we were defeated 20- 39. However Dick Zeleny, star of the past three seasons, won individual honors by winning the race and setting a new Mass. Univ. record by soaring through the 4.5 miles in 23:12. The team then bounced back the following week to defeat Amherst College 24-33 as Zeleny and Don Post tied for first place. Other runners placing well for Tech were Capt. Ronnie Thompson, Bud Madigan and Hugh Tufts. The following week on Homecoming Day the harriers upset the highly favored Coast Guard team 26 1 2- 28 1 2. Zeleny once again came home first as Don Post came in second. The next meet at Northeastern saw Zeleny defeated for the first time as the squad lost to the Huskies 19-36. However the following week Zeleny and Co. defeated Bates 20-35 in weather that kept changing from wind to rain and sleet. The last meet of the season saw the Engineers defeated by Tufts College 26-31. This loss was not as disappoint¬ ing as the others because for the fourth time in four years Zeleny lowered the Tech course record. Dick completed the 3.7 mile course in 18:12 which was six seconds better than the previous record. The final record of the team was three wins and three losses, while Zeleny won five of the six races and placed second in the other. Since Zel¬ eny and Capt. Ronnie Thompson will 19 5 2 PEDDLER (left to right): S. R. Harvey, I. A. Davidson, D. G. Post, F. W. Madigan, R. W. Howell, Coach F. Sannella. not be here next year, Coach Sannella will have to rebuild his team. With the ending of the cross-country season the scene shifted to the start of the indoor track season. The first two meets were the annual mile relay races held in the Boston Garden. The first was the K. of C. meet in which Tech placed fourth in a five team race, hut the race was so close that only two seconds separated the runners at the finish line. Running for the Engineers were Bobby Howell, Bud Madigan, Dick Zeleny and Sid Harvey. Two weeks later these same four runners participated in the B. A. A. games. Again there was a blanket finish and this time Tech placed third in the five team race. No doubt that if Tech had a hoard track on which to practice, something that all their opponents had, they would have placed much higher. But nonetheless they still made a good showing. Unfortunate¬ ly, however, Tech will lose its two fastest men with the departure of Zeleny and Howell. Dick had the sole distinction of participating in every relay race during his four years at Tech, while Bobby, captain of the track team in his Senior year, was the sprinter that gave Tech the lead many times. Later in the indoor season the En¬ gineers participated in five dual meets. The first was held at Lewiston, Maine, as Tech defeated Bates College 62 1 2- 54 1 2. For the third time in as many years it was Bobby Howell who per¬ sonally defeated the Bobcats. This year he accounted for 16 points by winning both the 40 yd. and 300 yd. dashes (tieing a meet record in the latter event), and placing second in both the 45 yd. low and high hurdles. Two other thorns in the sides of the Bob¬ cats were Dick Zeleny and Warren Palmer. Dick won both the 600 yd. and 1000 yd. runs while setting a new meet record of 1:17.8 in the 600. Warren also set a new meet record by jumping 5 ' 8-3 4 in the high jump. In addition to this he won the high hurdles and placed third in both the low hurdles and the broad jump. The following meet was held at Am¬ herst, and Tech bowed to the Univer¬ sity of Mass, by a score of 64-35. It was the first time in four years that the Redmen could manage a victory over the Engineers. Warren Palmer was the high scorer by winning the high jump and placing second in both the low and high hurdles. Dick Zeleny had a couple of tough breaks and was forced to finish second in both the mile and half mile events. It was the first time in four years of running varsity track that Dick couldn’t cap¬ ture a first place. The next two meets saw the Engineers defeated by Amherst and Wesleyan Colleges by almost iden¬ tical scores of 65 4 5-33 1 5 and 65 2 3- 33 1 3 respectively. In the Amherst meet Zeleny showed a complete re¬ versal of form by performing an iron man task of winning the half mile, mile, and two mile events. The only other first place that Tech could gather was in the shot put which Bobby Oram WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE First row (left to right): W. S. Stapakis, R. J. Hall, R. W.

Reid (manager). won as he did in the two previous meets. In the Wesleyan meet Zeleny won the mile and placed second in the two mile event, Palmer captured the high jump and took a second in the low hurdles, while Bobby Howell won the 440 yd. run and finished second in the half mile run. The final meet of the indoor season saw Tech tieing Trinity College 45-45. Once again it was the big three of Zeleny, Howell and Palmer who led the team. Dick, once again showing his versatility, stepped down from the distance events and proceeded to win the 440 and 880 yd. runs. Bobby won the 45 yd. low hurdles, tied for first in the 220 yd. dash and then placed third in the 40 yd. dash for a good show¬ ing. Palmer also had a good day by tieing for first place in the high jump, then placing second and third in the high and low hurdles respectively. During the spr ing schedule the Engin¬ eers faced the University of Mass., Coast Guard, Trinity, Bates, and sent runners to compete in the New England meet at Springfield. This year Tech will graduate one of the best, if not the best, all time runner in its history. This runner, of course is Richard Zeleny. During four years of running here at Tech he has compiled a record that has surpassed any previous individual record. In twenty cross-country meets, he won 14 of them, placed second four times, and finished third in the other two meets. In four years he participated in every school relay race, and he was always the fastest man on the four man team. In 25 regular track meets he has scored 201 points, which is better than 8 points per meet. This total, however, does not include the spring meets of his senior year. But, barring any accidents he undoubtedly will surpass the 250 mark. It is interesting to note the versatil¬ ity with which Dick can run any event and run it well. During the winter season of his senior year he showed just this trait by winning six different running events, namely the 440, 880, 600, and 1000 yd. runs in addition to the mile and two mile events. Also during this season, at Amherst College, he accomplished an almost impossible task of winning the half mile, mile and two mile events within the time of one hour. As for records, he holds many and with the coming of the outdoor season, he may hold more. He has lowered the Tech cross-country record every year since he has been here. He also holds the cross-country records at Am¬ herst College, University of Mass, and at the Coast Guard Academy. He holds the Tech half-mile reco rd at 1 min. 59.6 secs. During the spring he will attempt to erase both the mile and two mile records. To summarize the story of this runner it might be well to note the praise which his coach, Frank Sannella, gives to him. He states “That Dick has done everything I ever asked of him and he always did it well. I couldn’t hope to coach a runner who could surpass his qual¬ ities and abilities both as a runner and a gentleman.” Zeleny in his familiar winning form. 1 9 5 2 PEDDLER GOLF M .

The golf team here at WPI never is one to draw big headlines, but those who follow the exploits of the Tech linksmen know that each year a fine group of golfers carry our banner. Although the rigorous sched¬ ule at Tech allows a minimum of time for practice, each year they come up against some fine teams from many larger New England col¬ leges and can always be counted upon to give highly creditable per¬ formances. Prospects for the coming spring have recently been darkened a bit by the withdrawal from school of Co- Captain-elect Ed Travis. Ed, an ex¬ cellent golfer, has been a consistent winner ever since he joined the squad. However, a flock of fine veterans are on hand, led by Co-Captain Don Quimby. Included in this group are Jim Hodder, Cal MacAusland, George Abdow, and Gene Rubin. Also ex¬ pected to bolster the team is Alberto Arango, a freshman. The home matches this year will be played at the Wachusett Country Club and these same links are used by the squad for practice. Numbered among the 1952 opponents are such schools as A. I.

H. Adams. Prior to this past season, Coach Grant’s chief problem was getting someone to represent Tech in the 220 and 440 yd. freestyle. This situation was remedied quite well with the addition to the squad of Bucky Walters, a sopho¬ more. Walters’ performances in these events was felt all year and as a result he ended the season as second best point-getter on the squad with 46 points. Stu Rowe, however, once again took top honors for the team in total points by scoring 56 markers in his specialties, the 50 and 100 yd. free- styles. The remaining points were spread quite evenly among the other members of the squad, with Seddon, Vershon, Adams, and Quamo especial¬ ly contributing fine showings to the team. The first meet of the season pitted the Tech swimmers against those of the University of Connecticut in a meet at the latter’s pool. Despite the fine performances of Rowe, Wal¬ ters, and Seddon the competition proved too much as the Tech mermen bowed out by a 46 to 28 margin. The Grantmen’s next contest found them coming out on the short end of a 45 to 30 score with their op¬ ponents, the Lord Jeffs of Amherst, offering just a little too much com¬ petition. Stu Rowe helped the Tech- men’s cause by placing first in the 100 yd. freestyle while a freshman, Fred Drake, took top honors in the diving event. 19 5 2 PEDDLER The Jumbos of Tufts were next on the Tech team’s schedule and here again the team bowed out, 44 to 31. Once again it was Rowe who paced the Engineers being ably assisted hv Vershon who took top honors in his specialty, the 200 yd. backstroke. The Boston University Terriers were the next team to invade the Alumni Gym, and despite the wholehearted efforts of the Grantmen the final tally found 45 points for the Terriers against 30 for the Techmen. Cy Vershon took a first place in the 200 yd. backstroke and then came back strongly to take top honors in the 200 yd. breaststroke. The relay team which had been doing well all season really hit its stride and came out well ahead of the Terriers to tak e top points in that event. On the following Saturday the Techmen’s opponent was Trinity, and in this meet the Grantmen came up with their best performance of the season only to bow out 42 to 32. Every¬ one on the squad swam excellently in this one with Seddon, Vershon, and Leland showing up extremely well. However, it was Bucky Walters who really kept the Tech team’s hopes alive. Bucky took a first in the 440 yd. free¬ style and then placed second in the 220 yd. freestyle. M.I.T. was next to invade the Tech¬ men’s pool and showed great strength by downing the home team 52 to 23. Stu Rowe, Cy Vershon, and Bucky Walters were the Techmen’s shining lights in this meet but despite their efforts the Techmen dropped the de¬ cision to their rivals from Cambridge. The final meet of the season pitted the Grant mermen against a strong Coast Guard team. Howie Whittle hit his stride in this one by taking the 220 yd. breaststroke and again Wal¬ ters took a first in the 440 yd. free¬ style. However, after the last event was run, the final tally showed the Coast Guard had compiled 49 points to the Techmen’s 25. The graduation of the three seniors on the team, Adams, Rowe, and Quamo, will definitely hurt the squad. Rowe, of course, was top point-getter on the team and his loss will be a great one. Adams and Quamo, free- stylers, will also be missed sorely because of their fine work in the re¬ lays. The greater part of the squad will be back again, and in addition, a new waiver rule on freshmen will permit the use of these men on the varsity squad. The swimming team has definitely been improving over the past few years, and given a little more talent. Coach Frank Grant will be able to shape a winning team for the 52-53 season.

Featuring a schedule which included some of the powerhouses on the small school New England college scene, the 1951-1952 edition of coach Charlie McNulty’s Worcester Tech basketball team gave a good account of them¬ selves on several occasions and turned in a respectable 8-8 record for the season. Several of the defeats were heart-breakers, two coming in over¬ time sessions, and even a .500 record does not give a true indication of the stellar play of this year’s team. Led by senior guards Co-captains Bill Mehalick and Boh Chapman, the Macmen were a fighting squad all the way. The highlights of the season were one point victories over the Jumbos of Tufts and arch rivals, the Scarlet of Clark, but these were just two of the many thrillers witnessed by Tech fans this season. Showing mid season form, the well balanced Macmen gave an indication of what was to come, by soundly trouncing an outclassed Fitchburg quintet 76 to 50 in their opener. Capt. Bill Mehalick kept the Tech- men out front early in the game, hut Deadeye Dick Hall broke the vis¬ itor’s defense wide open as his deadly one-handers found the range for 24 points. Travelling across the city to As¬ sumption, the Boynton Bombers used 1952 PEDDLER Co-capt. Bill Mehalick their height and accurate set shooting to sink their smaller foes by an im¬ pressive 67 to 45 score. Brown paced the scorers with 13. In what was probably the most ex¬ citing finish to any game ever played at the Alumni Gymnasium, the Engi¬ neers repeated last year’s victory over Tufts, this time by a 42 to 41 count. Playing before a capacity au¬ dience of Formal Weekenders, the home team took an early lead only to see the Jumbos come from behind and move out front with only minutes to go. Behind 40 to 41 with seconds left to play, the Engineers gained possession of the ball and then Co- Capt. Mehalick wisely called time. With the new scoreboard showing exactly three seconds left, Bill passed inbounds to Dick Hall in the left corner. “Ace” fumbled the ball mo¬ mentarily, but then managed to let fly his patented one-hander over the outstretched arms of an enemy de¬ fender. The ball had no sooner left his hands when the buzzer sounded, and then the silence was broken by a hysterically happy crowd when the ball cleanly cut the cords for a well deserved 42 to 41 victory. Needless to say Dick Hall was the man of the hour as he was carried from the floor on the shoulders of the jubilant fans. Sporting a record of three wins and no losses, the locals journeyed to Cambridge where their streak was broken by the Engineers of M. I. T. 65 to 57. Harry Brown, always at his best here tallied 18 for Tech. Following the Christmas recess the Engineers regained their winning ways with an upset victory over Upsala 71 to 69. The Vikings who numbered St. John’s of Brooklyn among their opponents were perhaps the best team the homesters faced all season. Lead¬ ing at halftime 35 to 32, the locals poured 23 points through the nets in the third canto and seemingly had the game in the bag 58 to 47 at the start of the final quarter. At this juncture the visitors started a spurt of their own which brought them to within a point of a tie with three minutes left. From there on in it was a ding-dong battle, but the Bombers managed to outlast their travel-weary foes. In the final analysis the game was won at the foul line as both teams garnered 24 pops from the floor. It was strictly a team victory as Brown, Bloom, Mehalick and Hall tallied in the teens. In a complete reversal of form, the Engineers were soundly thrashed in their next game by Massachusetts 69 to 42 at Amherst. Falling behind at the outset, the locals trailed at half¬ time 35 to 12. Hopelessly out of the contest the Macmen showed that while they trailed in points, they could not be overcome in spirit. Playing as if the game was still in doubt, they fought the Redmen all the way to the wire and thus earned the plaudits of the partisan home crowd. Returning to the familiar confines of Alumni Gym, the Engineers regis¬ tered their fifth win in seven starts by overrunning the inept Naval Trans¬ port Squadron from Westover Field. It was strictly a ho-hum affair and the only question was how high the score would go. The homesters led 37 to 15 at the half and at the final buzzer it was 73 to 30. Despite the fact that reserves played a major portion of the last half, Brown and Hall paced all scorers with 18 and 17 points respectively. In their final game before tbe mid term recess, the Bombers were downed by a strong A. I. C. squad 75 to 69. Plagued by four fouls each. Brown, Fratino and Hall were forced to sit out much of the last half after they had led the Engineers from a 36-33 deficit to a 53 to 52 lead with 6 minutes gone in the third quarter. Capitalizing on the team’s short- handedness, the Aces poured in 16 straight points to go ahead 68 to 53. The Macmen, playing inspired ball when their scoring punch returned, started a drive which brought them within 5 points of a tie with 2 min¬ utes left. The Springfield crew however had enough left to stave off the hard pressing locals as time ran out. Harry Brown was outstanding as he tallied 28 big points in his per¬ sonal duel with Collins of the Aces who had 20. As is always the case with Worces¬ ter Tech basketball teams, the mid term lay-off took its toll on their for¬ tunes as they suffered three straight losses following their return to school. A big Boston University squad was the first to grease the toboggan as they overpowered the Crimson and Grey 75 to 59. Tech played them on even terms throughout the first half and opening minutes of the third quarter but thereafter the Terriers pulled away and were never headed. “Ace” Hall, after a miserable first half, began to find the range after intermission Co-capt. Bob Chapman WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE and led the Tech scorers with 18 markers while Bloom had 11. Three days later it was the Middies of the Coast Guard who sank the Engineers—this time a heartbreaking 62 to 59 loss in an overtime battle. Trailing by a basket with a minute to play, the Sailors’ coach inserted a fresh squad of subs who knotted the count at 58 all before time ran out and then went on to win in the extra five minutes. The two “B’s,” Brown and Bloom, again paced Tech with 21 and 11 points respectively. Next it was the Bishops of Trinity who lowered the boom on the En¬ gineers as they soundly defeated them 75 to 50 at their spacious field house. Wrinn of the winners, long a thorn in the side of other Tech teams, led all scorers with 19 points, while Hall with 18 and Bloom with 12 were the offensive stars for the locals. In their next game against Lowell Textile, the famine was ended as the Macmen left no doubt as to the out¬ come and won going away by a 67 to 43 count. Five men, MacLaren, Fra- tino, Brown, Vasil and Bloom hit double figures for the winners. During the Washington’s Birthday weekend the Engineers took to the road and split a pair of games, win¬ ning the first at Union 73 to 64 and losing the second in two overtimes to Williams 53 to 52. Hall, MacLaren, Vasil and Bloom paced the team in their win over Union, while Harry Brown, playing inspired hall, showed the way with 20 markers against Wil¬ liams. In the traditional game with Clark, the Bombers showed their true mettle by coming from behind in their second straight overtime contest to defeat the Scarlets 56 to 55. It was the third straight year that a single point proved to he the margin of victory. Obviously off in their scoring punch, the Engineers fell behind at the out¬ set and trailed 29 to 21 at halftime. Returning to the floor after intermis¬ sion the Crimson and Grey climbed back to trail by a single basket, 36 to 34, at the three quarter terminal. Clark, however, after a brief time out, scored seven straight points and the Macmen found themselves nine points behind with only five minutes left. At this juncture, the Engineers rallied again as Doug MacLaren and Harry Brown led them down the stretch in a race against time. With 25 seconds left and Clark leading 46 to 44, Doug stole the hall at midcourt, and passed off to Bloom whose shot rolled off the rim. Brown sent up a tap-in which hounded off the board but MacLaren met it at the keyhole and flicked it in for the tying score. The first extra session ended at 51 all as Doug added four of the team’s five markers. In the final overtime period, the Engineers held a one point margin with two minutes left to play. Then Danny Hoch threw in his biggest basket of the year to clinch the vic¬ tory as the Scarlets retaliated with a hoop of their own with three seconds left. In the season’s finale. Tech dropped a 68-54 decision to Northeastern. The score was somewhat misleading, for the Engineers, after trailing 12 to 2 midway in the first period, played their flashy rivals on an even footing ihroughout the remainder of the con¬ test. The Huskies refused to crack, however, even though the home team crept to within six points of a tie early in the fourth quarter.

BASKETBALL The Tech Junior Varsity hoopsters closed a successful season by winning ten and dropping but three of the thir¬ teen games played. The majority of the men on the squad this year were Freshmen, and some of them are cer¬ tain of a spot on the varsity squad next year. At the beginning of the season, Coach Pritchard’s starting five con¬ sisted of all Freshmen, with their attack centering around Bob Schultz and Pete Horstmann. Rich Kee worked well with Fred Herring on the outside while Gad Brown operated from the bucket. At mid-term, Fred Herring was lost to the squad due to marks, and his position was filled very well by the hustling Don Grenier. Don was determined to hold his newly acquired position, and he played so well that he became a fixture on the starting five. Coach Pritchard then began experi¬ menting with his center position. Joe Wahl and Sophomore Howie Latimer frequently spelled the improving Gad Brown. At the close of the season, the starting five consisted of Schultz, Horstmann, R. Kee, Grenier, and G. Brown with the subs seeing frequent action. The team lost to only one college junior varsity quintet, Boston Uni¬ versity, while producing victories over junior varsity teams from Trinity, University of Massachusetts, M. I. T., Northeastern, American International College, Lowell Textile, and city rival Clark. The team’s other two losses was to the Worcester Inter-High champion, South High School, and runner-up for the crown. Classical High.

Brown, H. F. Smith, R. R. Osell, E. L. VanCott, A. J. Constantin, W. V. Raszka, E. G. Tornay, C. R. McNulty (coach). The weather was more suited to football, but Coach McNulty had his boys swinging the willows three days before the Spring recess; and well he did for there was much to be ac¬ complished before the curtain raiser with Coast Guard on the 26th and the ambitious nine game schedule to fol¬ low. In looking over the remnants and new aspirants on the first day several things were graphically evident: there was a large group of good fly chasers to choose from; there was a big gap in the infield, and only two pitchers who had been tried under fire. The catch¬ ing department looked as if it would take care of itself, but “Mac” had to replace the likes of Stewart and Fer¬ rari, and the right arm of Chapin. Looking around the horn the club shaped up somewhat like this: Harry Brown on first for the third straight year with classy Bill Raszka still wait¬ ing for the big opportunity; at second McNulty had the choice of breaking in a new man or moving peppery Rog Osell back into his old stamping ground; the other half of the keystone combine, big sticker Mike Shebek, looked ready for another great year; at the hot corner it shaped up to be anybody’s battle, with converted back¬ stop Fratino and last year’s standby Andreliunas setting the pace. The re¬ ceiving chores appeared to be well taken care of with pint size Brown and Grenier, and burly Norm Casaubon all showing up well. Captain Roly St. Louis led a bevy of outfielders into battle, among which are veterans Andrukonis, Cos- tantin, and Moore, plus several new¬ comers from the frosh ranks, one of whom, Bob Schultz, appears as the most likely to crash the lineup. Since all are approximately equal in hitting ability, the starting lots will probably fall to the surest afoot. In the last analysis the question of a winning team may boil down to whether or not the pitching staff can 1952 PEDDLER ED VANCOTT carry the load. Senior Ed VanCott has looked good on numerous occa¬ sions and Junior Phil Kaminsky seems to get better with age. If these two hold out, the battle will be half won. John Coupe could provide the neces¬ sary spark if he works up to a start¬ ing role and Pat Leikennen, a promis¬ ing freshman, might provide some much needed insurance. George Kay ' will probably be the batting practice chucker again. In the hitting department—the slug¬ gers from last year are back. Harry Brown turned in a classy .375 aver¬ age last year, with St. Louis and Shebek following at .303 and .290 respectively. The team will be out to revenge last year’s 6 to 4 loss to Coast Guard on the Junior Prom weekend. A year ago we played Assumption late in the season, and Ross Chapin pitched the Engineers to a 12 to 3 victory. This year the game is early and the same results are hoped for. A. I. C., the last team to be faced in ’52, went on the National Championships in Omaha, Nebraska, after beating the Crimson and Grey 15 to 6. A 5 to 4 victory over Clark was eked out in the ninth on the clutch hitting of Mike Shebek and Ed VanCott in ’51. Following Clark, Tech will face in order the University of Massachusetts; Trinity, a tough Connecticut rival; MIKE SHEBEK Lowell Textile, who succumbed to Tech’s bats 19 to 6 in ’51; Tufts; and Northeastern.

Lacrosse is in itself one of the oldest of games, originating in this country and Canada, and played by the Indians. It has been modified as respect to rules governing play, but has still remained basically the same. Interest here began when a g roup of students, who, having played Lacrosse either in preparatory school or an¬ other college, made an effort to bring the game into the athletic program at Tech. The first year saw a great in¬ terest arise in that a number of under¬ graduates adapted themselves rapidly with the aid of those having previous experience. The new aspirants picked up the art of ball and stick handling well enough to make an excellent showing in the first game, and improve¬ ment was fast developing as the season went on. The proof of this statement lies in the record to date at the end of the season: five games won, one tied, and one lost. The Boynton Hill Lacrosse Club, as it was then called, was on its way up the ladder towards recognition. The problem of financing the team 19 5 2 PEDDLER proved to be a difficult one, but through the efforts of members of the team, the club was supported entirely by its own planning. Funds were raised for officials’ fees and some equipment by means of proceeds obtained from a show put on by the squad members. There was still, however, much equip¬ ment that had to be furnished by the individual members. Transportation to away games was arranged by using the players’ own cars. The previous two seasons were also very successful, the latter being an undefeated season, showing that the Boynton Hill Lacrosse Club has really made a name for itself. A record of last year’s victories is as follows: Brown 9-6, Trinity 8-1, Amherst 17-8, Lowell 12-2, Tufts 7-6, Boston Lacrosse Club 10-9. This year marks a new achievement for Lacrosse at Tech, inasmuch as the Athletic Council has accepted Lacrosse as a regular school sport, making it officially the Worcester Tech Lacrosse Team. The team has also been re¬ cently included in the New England Inter-Collegiate Lacrosse League. The 1952 squad faces new problems in that Spike Staples, the team coach and faculty adviser was recalled to active duty with the Navy last summer. Another man must be found to take over the duties and responsibility left by Spike. 1951 also saw a number of starters graduate, leaving those posi¬ tions open, primarily in the defense. Prospects for the 1952 season look hopeful with the return of co-capt. Shorty Ellsworth, who has been respon¬ sible for a great part of the scoring. He will center point a smoothly op¬ erating attack, which will inclu de Brady Buckly, George Seidel, Bruce Campbell, and Orren Me Knight. The midfield consists of Co-capt. A1 Foss, another high scorer as well as a great team work specialist at center mid- field, and Ken Haaland, Bob Lanou, and Dave Beach. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE o First row (left to right): T.

I. C., M. I. T., and Brown. Except for Tufts, M. I. T. and B. U., all games will be played on the Boynton Hill courts. Having so many home matches will be a decided advantage on our wind-swept clay. The season of 1951 closed with Tech winning three and losing four, but most of the lost matches were close. After this season which was better than the previous year, the team lost the services of three graduating Seniors: Ed. Nahikian, Gerry Atkin¬ son and Sam Winther. When school resumed in the fall of ’51 we also found that we had lost A1 Mclnness who had been number one man for two years, when he transferred to B. U. With the loss of these top four men there leaves a big gap to fill. At the beginning of this year Coach Wadsworth called a meeting of the squad with good results. Among those in attendance included three of last year’s squad: Captain-elect Manny Pappas, Don Kranz and Ed Shivell. Coach Wadsworth said that he hoped to groom a few sophomores and fresh¬ men into the vacancies left by the graduates. Among these candidates were Dave Lamarre, Hank Strage, Dave Dayton, and Walt Sherbrook. All these followers seem to have played considerable tennis and it is hoped that they will fill the vacant shoes. 19 5 2 PEDDLER First row (left to right): Janies A. Warren, Earl Klaubert, Robert T.

Rifle Club got off to a flying start this year. This organiza¬ tion, comparatively young on the cam¬ pus, boasted its largest membership since the war and made great strides towards taking a place of equal rank with the older organizations. Mike Hochstetter, Pres.; Bob Hasnerl, Treas.; Skip Youngdahl and Marsh Kidder, manager and coach respec¬ tively of the club’s rifle team, made up a slate that worked tirelessly to provide more benefits for the mem¬ bers of the club. Receiving much aid and encouragement from the Depart¬ ment of Military Science, they suc¬ ceeded in giving the club a good deal of momentum in the right direction. As a step, many improvements were made on the range through the efforts of the officers to provide better facilities for the enjoyment of the members. One of the more important accom¬ plishments of the club this year was revamping of a rifle team to repre¬ sent the school. This team gave seri¬ ous competition to the leaders of one of the toughest leagues in the country. Firing a full schedule, they compiled a record that shows much improvement over the past. WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE CHEER LEADERS (Left to right) H. F. Spadoni, C. J. Simonich, E. Corn jo, R. J. Lucey, D. S. Oliver. This year showed a great improve¬ ment in the cheering squad here at Tech. The squad, consisting of one junior, three sophomores, and one freshman, really did an exceptional job in boosting Tech spirit. The squad practiced many long hours under the guidance of Doc Carpenter. After recovering from their lameness and bruises, the squad came up with the best cheerleading we have seen at Tech in recent years. Although they performed at football games, the squad really showed their ability during the basketball season. To faithful followers of Tech basket¬ ball, the appearance of the cheerleaders was one of the high-points of the evening.

The one responsible force behind the success of all Worcester Tech ath¬ letic teams is the coaching staff. And success cannot he measured in terms of victory alone. The spirit and man¬ liness derived from competitive sports is one of the finest things a man can gain from his years in college. The men who instill this spirit are the men who handle the activities of athletes on and off the competitive field. Worcester Tech is proud to boast of a fine and competent coaching staff.

Wind speeds the impertinent hour, Blowing past the ear words from Nazareth And dust in the wind say: Your sister shares your fate; Your brother shares your anger; Step into the magic circle of chalk. Stare at the furnished face. It leers at the hour. Laughs now At our thin worshipping of time. Rebuild the wind-formed patterns in the stars; Rebuild the features on your face; Leer at time; at your watch; Construct the justified story from the pertinent fact; Leer at wind and at people. The casual countenance, using the fibers of your heart, Reconstructs viewed caution on an hour recently subdued. Pinched lips question the validity of the dare And questions split the wind on twisted hair; And the dust in the wind says: Receive the cross but do not bend; Do not dissemble before a glance; Retrieve the original purpose; Trace your heritage; Blend fear with water.
