Trask Although he has been here only since 1958, Bill Trask has made an impression on the student body enjoyed by few members of the administration or faculty. As Director of Placement, Bill is probably better known to the seniors than to the underclassmen, but any student who becomes acquainted with our energetic job hunter comes away with the feeling that here is a really nice guy. After receiving his A.B. from Middlebury College in 1952, Bill served in the Marine Corps for two years. He then returned to Middlebury as Assistant Dean of Men for one year. Just before coming to Tech he worked as Advertising Manager for the Addison County Independent, a local Middlebury newspaper. When the Placement Office was expanded in 1958, Dean Downing took on the full-time duties of Dean of Admissions and Bill was brought in as Placement Director. Since then his managerial ability, attention to details and, above all, his desire to help the student, have made the work of his office more and more effective each year. Bill ' s smile, his constant activity, his eagerness to help any student who asks assis- tance, and his sincere desire to make his department as effective as possible have made a lasting impression on those who know him. The success of his efforts is clearly shown each year by the large percentage of seniors who obtain challenging, productive work. We of the PEDDLER staff feel proud and grateful that a man of Bill ' s calibre has decided to devote his talents to Worcester Tech. We feel doubly honored that we are able to dedicate the 1962 PEDDLER to Mr. William Foley Trask. from the desk of the president ' V; 8 ' jvi ' ?;.? . ' ■. : ; if! 80 M:- Ska | T ° mring class .. .

Some may be pleasant while others may be in the I ' m glad it ' s over category. In retrospect, however, all experiences have had a good effect on us (I guess.). We all will realize as we read this ten years from now that the years at Worcester Tech are truly irreplacable in our hearts. Some of those memories will be accounted herein. We arrived on campus in September 1958. We ar- rived at our home for the next four years. For some this took form in the Alumni Gymnasium, which for some sixty-five of us on our first time away from home didn ' t quite look like what the catalogue had described. Anyhow it lent itself to fast friendships and was only a temporary set-up. Morgan Hall was finally completed. Its bold design was highly representative of the mid- 20th century pre-fab concrete era. It was quite different than the ivy-covered Gothic architecture elsewhere. Well, it takes time for trees to grow. The orientation being over we had our first contact with real live upperclass- men. This was done through rushing or hazing (it was hard to tell which was which). We did the class-rivalry bit to the hilt. Who could forget the daily bow-tie, sign and beanie routine at the bridge every morning? We won our share of class contests including the rope- pull probably because there was a practical incentive involved, that of NOT doing water at 20 degrees. We survived such traditions as Hell Week, hygiene lectures (sleep 101 ;, Doc Heller ' s red pencil, the morning after Tau Beta Pi outing, Worcester weather, water-bags and even Kelly ' s food. It was a year that the football team missed a perfect record by a 14-13 decision to Middle- bury. We elected, as our class officers, Al Hadley, Chair- man; Bill Fado and Vic Castellani as Tech Senate repre- sentatives. Somehow we made it to Sophomore year and it was our turn to harass the Freshmen. It was also our first term living in fraternity houses and finding out about all the good things in life (Bridge games, Friendly ' s, Becker, bull-sessions, weekends, the Boynton, etc.). It was a year for gung-ho rushing and the study-potential curve was really dropping off. But those that were to survive dropped this attitude and altered our program. There were such fun-things as Daddy Locke, K. G. organic, P-4 and ho-hum history. We were also the guinea pigs for a new marking system and to this day we are glad there was a little bit of initial flexibility. It was the year Olin Hall was finished, Fred DiPippo set a new scoring record in basketball and who could forget the first Military Ball? ( A lot of people try to. ) And we won the Goat ' s Head or something. We did a new slate of Class Officers in- cluding Bruce Bazeley, President; Bill Fado, Vice-Presi- dent; Al Hadley, Secretary; Brian O ' Connell, Treasurer; and Andy Edelman and Vic Castellani, Tech Senate. As it is to be recalled, Junior year was the one where we theoretically pulled up our average to compensate for the sophomore year, but somehow it was also the hardest year It was the year to be aspirant in campus life also. Under the direction of Paul Sharon we held a most successful Junior Prom featuring Woody Herman. Our Weavers and Chris Barber program set a new precedent for J.P. ' s to come. 12 Where ' s the paddle? CLASS OFFICERS Front Row: R. Curtis, President; D. Goodman, V. President. Back Row: W. Borla, Tech Senate; H. Rapelje, Secretary; T. Furhovden, Treasurer; B.

It was also the first taste of the true benefits of the great opportunity to be participating in the excellent Leadership Laboratory and ... or whatever it was called. That year we elected Vic Castellani as President, Roger Curtis — Vice-President, Joe LeBlanc — Secretary, Dave France — Treasurer, and Dick DiBuono and Paul Sharon — Tech Senate. We finally did make it to Senior status and it felt good and we couldn ' t wait for the senior slide to com- mence. We realized too late how important marks really were. It was the year to worry about money, mar- riage, jobs, grad school and the military. It was definitely the year for the Class of ' 62 to shine. Some of the leaders on campus were Tech Senate — Paul Sharon, Tech News — Vic Castellani, Football — Pete Martin and Jack Pisinski, Basketball — Roger Curtis and Andy Edelman and ROTC Corps — Bill Krein. We elected as officers Roger Curtis, President; Dave Goodman, Vice-President; i Harry Rapelje, Secretary; Terry Furhovden, Teasurer; and Bill Borla and Vic Castellani, Tech Senate. It was also I the year of the Berlin Crisis, Fallout Shelters (CE491), j the Twist and the end (Thank God) of the Military Ball. We have seen that the history recorded thus far has been only a highlight of many untold which we have all experienced as a class, as a school or as individuals. We have seen many rise to the top to great achievements in the academic, athletic and extracurricular worlds. We have also seen some fall by the wayside along the four year span. We will miss them at graduation, but it only points out that we truly must have done something to survive. We have seen many developmen ts on campus that point to a better future for Worcester Tech. Olin Hall has risen to provide very excellent facilities including a van de Graaf Generator and many laboratories. A nuclear reactor was installed in the Washburn Shops. Tech is unique in having a pool-type reactor for student use. The gym was expanded to give more room to provide better athletic facilities for the growing student population. Salisbury and Atwater Kent have been renovated to add to the overall picture of a modern engineering campus, yet still retains all the valuable traditions that made it what it is today. The enrollment has increased, but it has been con- trolled expansion. There were more applications and admittance standards have been improved. Dr. Van Arsdale, since moved to Bradley University, has done tre- mendous work in this field and the school will always be indebted to him. Ross Alger did a tremendous job on developing a new catalogue that has quality written all over it. The geographic distribution is evidence that the name of Worcester Tech is getting around. It will be our job as alumni to carry the word by our achievements. So as we look back on our years at Tech a touch of nostalgia grips us and a yearning to be an undergraduate again burns in our hearts. Our years at the Institute were truly worthwhile and we will be eternally indebted to the Institute for her guidance. We will be proud Alumni indeed.

Our age of innocence was over, the members of the class of ' 63 (at least the majority of us who entered W.P.I, under that title) became upperclassmen. For two years we had fought valiantly and desperately for the Goat ' s Head; now our role became less demanding as we shared the responsibility with the seniors of refereeing the contests between the two lower classes. During this year we finally delved in the complexity of our respective departments. The Civils learned what a sand castle is really like, the chem engines that electrons are just a myth and the M.E. ' s that it is not so easy to follow the dots. Thus having passed this crucial point in our education we began to consider our status after graduation (a rather optimistic posi- tion). Would we venture directly into industry, try our hand at graduate school or enter into the employment of our Dear Uncle? But our look had been to the future since we entered Worcester Tech! As freshmen we began earning money for our Junior Prom; late last year we elected a chairman and began to secure a band. After the summer (which didn ' t seem like summer without summer reading) the committees were formed and began to function, slowly at first, and then more effectively as the date approached. And then it arrived. The committee, having spent the last week in frantic preparation, sat back and reaped the lauds of the best J.P. ever. And so we finished our third year at W.P.I. As we parted for the summer activities, some of us into summer employment, some — though not too many of us — for a vacation, others to that wonderful Southern resort in Georgia, while still some remained behind to try their luck again at Eco 302, we wished the Class of ' 62 the best of luck, knowing that all too soon we must follow in their uneasy footsteps.

Now it is our turn to haze and to gain revenge for our scars from last year ' s episodes. After this new, shortened hazing program, we set out in our quest to retain the coveted Goat ' s Head Trophy. The competition got off to a rapid start with the Paddle Rush held at halftime of the Middlebury football game. Al- though tremendously outnumbered, we, the class of ' 64, put up a fierce battle but alas were defeated. The first event of Homecoming weekend, the Rope Pull, proved to be another defeat for our glorious class as we took an exceptionally muddy walk through Institute Pond. Finally, our luck was to change. After a hardfought scoreless tie in the soccer game, the football classic took place. After losing an early lead, the Sophomores roared back in the final period to score an exciting victory over an aroused Frosh team. Although trailing in the point totals now, the class of ' 64 is confident that it will succeed in cap- turing the trophy. Rushing as well as hazing takes on a whole new meaning for us, for now we are on the other side of the fence. We now have the opportunity to see how the rushing system really works. We also have started to specialize in our own major fields. Now, more than ever before, we feel the problems and dif- ficulties which will make our task of the next three years diffi- cult but satisfying. But even in the face of our difficulty, we shall strive to better ourselves educationally and also to meet any and all responsibilities which may fall upon our shoulders. Having proven our excellence educationally, athletically, and culturally in our initial year, the class of ' 64 looks forward to more and greater accomplishments in the future.

Undaunted, the Class of ' 65 appeared on campus early in September. We were college men now, with a dignity that was shortlived as hazing began. This dignity changed to something new as the presentation of rules was made; some- thing the sophomore class was totally unprepared for, the un- matched spirit of ' 65. Unprecedented spirit that broke many traditions, such as the march on West St. by the entire class, resulting in a rout of the sophomore class, and the first singing of the second verse of the Alma Mater in the annals of Worcester Tech. We were given a chance to prove ourselves, and prove ourselves we did. The spirit of ' 65 was over us, and it struck fear into the heart of many a sophomore as we swept through the paddle rush and won the shortest rope pull in history. Experience tells though, and spirit could only help us fight as we lost a bitter contest in the football game by a small mar- gin. The Goat ' s Head battle is still on, but determination and an early lead give us a heavy advantage. Then came the rush, as they say, and our first encounter with Greek life. The smokers and the house rushes, the hand shaking and lip service, all to help us determine that which a great deal of our future here will depend on, our fraternity al- liance. Each has chosen that which suited him best, and will stand by his brotherhood for life, a bond that will draw him closer to fellow students and to Tech. Our early impressions of Tech are long past now, and we ' ve settled down to accomplish the purpose of our being here. Ever holding on to that never dying spirit of ' 65, we hope someday to make a reality of the realm of dreams now in- stilled upon us.

In view of the scientific and technological ad- vances being made in today ' s society, the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering are expanding boundlessly. To keep pace with these advances W.P.I, offers two closely related courses which lead to the degrees of chemistry and chemical engineering. The two fields differ in that chemistry is primarily devoted to research while chemical engineering uses the dis- coveries of the chemist to manufacture consumer goods. The courses common to both departments are, among others; organic chemistry, industrial chemical calculations, and physical chemistry. Salisbury and Kinicutt laboratories, which house the departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineer- ing, are finally beginning to take on the appearance of a modern building. With the completion of the second floor, the end, which is the renovation of the entire building, is now in sight. Through the efforts of Prof. Wilmer Kranich, head of the department, and an especially fine staff, the de- partments have been able to further the status of the courses at Worcester Tech, until they are now con- sidered among the finest in the country. The depart- mental faculty, consisting of many brilliant and dedicated men, have sacrificed the opportunities pre- sented by industry in order that they might develop the latent abilities of their students. To supplement the students ' formal education, the departments have also made available membership in professional socie- ties through which the student may gain specific knowledge about the field into which he is entering. 18 Professor Wilmer L. Kranich Head of Department The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering this year boasts 10 Chemistry Gradu- ate Students and 13 Chemical Engineering Gradu- ate Students. Of the 23 graduate students 5 are seeking their Doctorate Degree, while the others are working toward their Masters Degree. As many as 17 of the graduate students have pre- viously received their B.S. Degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Many of the undergraduate laboratory periods are conducted by the 10 gradu- ate students who are also graduate assistants. The projects of the graduate students are both involved and diversified. A study of the mechanism of ester compounds by a chemist as contrasted to a survey of the inefficiences of internal combusion engines serves to illustrate this diversification. A study of fuel cell activity, a new synthesis of the Girard Reagent, a study in synthetic fatty alda- hydes, development of synthetic penicillins, auto- matic bulk titration, and cromatographic separa- tions are among the many graduate student en- deavors. The excellent work of these graduate students serves only to enhance the reputation of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Seated: H. Burr, A. Kowalewski, J. Gibbs, N. Howe, D. Bryant. Standing: L.

The student chapter of the A.I.Ch.E. was founded on the Worcester Tech campus in 1940 with the expressed purpose of familiarizing future Chemical Engineers with the breadth, scope, and type of problems they will have to deal with in in- dustry and with educating them, in a sense, to the growing position of responsibility the engineer must assume in the life of his community and his country. This is accomplished by inviting men of prominence in industry and their com- munity to speak at the monthly A.I.Ch.E. meetings. Their lec- tures are often times supplemented with films of certain phases of Chemical Engineering. This year, as is the custom every other year, the A.I.Ch.E. sponsored a field trip to the Chemi- cal Exposition in New York City. Here the students were introduced to the great mass of apparatus and machinery used in the chemical industry. With the belief that a man ' s social development is nearly as important as his scholastic development, the chapter also sponsors certain social activities to achieve this end. The an- nual Unit-Op-Hop and the spring student faculty picnic are always well received and enjoyed. AChERS With a church key in one hand and a good strong brew in the other, the Aspirant Chemical Engineers ' Risibility So- ciety began their existence here at Tech in 1950. The society provides for the Chem Engine a place where he can talk over in a congenial atmosphere his experiences at Salisbury Labs. The Achers usually elect the man who has the smallest capacity to be their Head Acher as he may not be chal- lenged in a contest of any type. To explain the preceding, the society usually has several contests pitting their more sporting members in exciting feats of liquid consumption. These con- tests are held at such neighborhood pubs as the B and the V with house rules governing each contest. After the meet- ings, the AChERS with their Derbies and red suspenders, pay visits to the various fraternities bringing joy and happiness to the poor souls trapped by books and other devices designed to keep students in a state of misery. In this year as in the past the AChERS have aided their profession with several advances. They have developed distill- ing methods which yield a product free of any side reaction or unpleasantness. Their only stipulation is that reactants must not be used to excess or be mixed unknowingly by a member. After all, one Head Acher is enough. 20 First Row: J. Peterson. R. Schmidt. J. Samborsky.

Skeptical Chymists Skeptical Chymists, the student affiliated chapter of the American Chemical Society, is a small but animate organ of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute activity program. Since its beginning at W.P.I, in 1904 as the Worcester Chemical Club, it has conducted its monthly meetings under the eaves of Salisbury HaH. At these meetings students, gradu- ates and faculty members speak on various pertinent topics. Plans for the club ' s external functions such as the spring outing and the Parent ' s Day display are formulated, and, as always, refreshments are served. With its yearly membership on the increase and a bright future ahead, this spirited little group of chemists can indeed be skeptical. Seated: R. Cassanelli, J. Grocki, B. Hall. Standing: P.

In making vast strides in the improvement of course content, engineering techniques, and labora- tory facilities, this department is providing for its stu- dents an ever improving curriculum. This expansion of curriculum has necessitated many important altera- tions within the department itself and would not have been possible except for the flexibility shown by the Department Head, Professor Koontz, and others of his faculty. The student has also found it necessary to adjust to a more creative and interesting academic program. Moreover, he has had to keep abreast of the develop- ments in his field, particularly those theoretical inno- vations and their industrial applications. This cooperation between student and faculty has resulted in the ultimate advancement of the depart- ment ' s reputation. For this reason, the graduating Worcester Tech Civil Engineer is in demand by in- dustry wherever engineers are required that are capa- ble and efficient. They are called upon to build the skyscrapers, the highways and the bridges wherever the task demands an engineer who is adaptable and conscientious.

Presently there are twelve men en- gaged in graduate studies in the department. A student entering the graduate program has a choice of furthering his knowledge in a specific area, or he may follow a program covering all areas of Civil Engineering. Several courses are offered in the field of structural analysis and design as well as in soil mechanics and foundations. In the area of hy- draulics, a student may receive credits from the Mechanical Engineering Department, and may use the facilities of Alden Hydraulic Laboratory for experi- mental work. Among the various courses offered is one in Special Problems in which a student does re- search on a problem of his choice. In the future, a greater number of students will be able to study for their Master ' s Degree due to the rapid growth of the department. It may be possible, in the future, to make available a Doctorate of Philoso- phy and a Doctorate of Science if interest is shown. Seated: D. Dow, R. Adler, R. Carlson. Standing: M. Can, Y.

Barons of Kaven The BOKS, a discombobolated drinking society of rene- gade transit runners, indulges in several festivities of note- worthy importance throughout the academic calendar. Composed of THE hard core of the civil set, the Barons of Kaven operate in a manner contrary to that of other organizations of low viscous nature in that instead of attacking one of the many local taverns in a single mass, the portly bellied Barons don their apparels of Knighthood and swoop down on the peasant valley villa of Worcestershire in several task (if you can call chugging a task) forces led by their able bloated -bodied generals. Plundering the pubs and pilfering each other ' s draughts as the evening wears on, the bandy Knights of Kaven remount and gallop off leaving in their wake a trail of good will, broken hearts, and broken steins, until Major Amos Barnaby Hoople and General Hannibal Wotta- burp once again lead the stouthearted Kavemen on another bout under the next full moon. Hak-kaff! Young aspirants of the Barons must show similar spirits and consumption of same if they hope to be tapped on the skull by the sword of Kaven ' s King Arthur and dubbed klein Barons in the spring, when a Battle of Bulging Barons of Kaven will ensue at the Carling ' s brewery in Natick. Of course, in keeping with the sole purpose of perpetuating the cause of Civil Engineering, the Barons will view Route 9 with close scrutiny to and fro — mostly fro! Haruump! A.S.C.E. The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852. The original constitution states its objectives as being . . . the advancement of the sci- ence and profession of engineering . The purpose of the student chapter is to help the student prepare himself for entry into the profession and the advance- ment of the society. How does the student chapter accomplish its purpose? The chapter helps Civil Engineering students en- rich their college careers by providing those profes- sional contacts and associations, which, continued throughout life, are so valuable to the practicing en- gineer. A student learns the principles and techniques of his engineering field in the classroom. The re are other important subjects, however, not capable of being taught in the classroom, called professional matters. Certain phases of these professional sub- jects are well adapted to programs of the student chapter. The chapter is an excellent medium for the exercise of personal and public relations. Chapter members prepare, present, and discuss engineering papers, conduct chapter meetings, hold office, secure outside speakers and conduct many types of activities ranging from those of a professional nature to the social and entertaining types. Of the latter events, the annual A.S.C.E. -A.S.M.E. Christmas party is the highlight of fall semester activities. All of these contribute to the development of men- tal prowess, sound judgement, and social grace, the attributes of a successful young engineer. m :.r- £5 Standing: R. Leistritz, P. Martin, E.

The Electrical Engineering Department is the largest single department at Worcester Tech. This department, under the capable direction of Dr. Glenn A. Richardson, offers a wide selection of electives to the undergraduate Electrical Engineer in diversified areas of the profession. Three of the areas in which a student may concen- trate are: Power, Communications and Control, al- though some of the more industrious undergrads elect to participate in more than one option. The dynamic growth of the E.E. department may in part be attributed to the personalities that are responsible for the rearrangement of the academic curriculum; however it is the inherent growth of the industry which has prompted the expansion of the de- partment. The vast advancements which have occurred in the electronics industry, the application of electrical principles to analogous mechanical problems and the importance of increasing computer facilities, all have made the competent Worcester Tech Electrical Engi- neering graduate much sought after by industry. Although the aforementioned engineering appli- cations are complex in nature, a comprehension of the contributing fundamental concepts is obtained in at least one of the courses offered by the department. With these basic laws of electricity at their disposal, the aspiring Tech E.E. graduate is well equipped to succeed in later years. 26 Professor Glen A. Richardson Head of Department The Electrical Engineering Department has for forty-one years offered a graduate program in Elec- trical engineering to those students who wish to further their technical experience beyond the B.S. level. Graduate students who pursue the various avenues of Electrical Engineering interest find the program as set up by the Electrical Enginering de- partment both interesting and rewarding. Al- though the first year is devoted to advanced engi- neering principles, the second year proves to be more challenging in that the graduate student comes in contact with problems of unusual nature. These problems can only be solved with a great deal of analytical thinking and oftentimes only after consulting with the students instructors. In the past a majority of the department ' s graduate students have held teaching or research assistantships which provide for full tuition and a stipend which helps to alleviate the graduate stu- dent ' s living costs while in college. As the sciences become more and more de- manding, the need for students with advanced degrees will increase even more the importance of the E.E. Graduate Deparrment. ™ ' jJ!

(I Hate Electrical Engineering) have conferred honor not only on themselves but also on their Alma Mater by living up to the high ideals and standards which have been stated as follows in the Grand Charter of Alpha Chapter; To create and promulgate a healthy academic spirit and to participate actively in worthy college endeavors, to provide an atmosphere of good fellowship and joyous comradie, to encourage a fuller social life, to stimulate and nurture an interest in the Seven Lively Arts, and to prevent an over supply of maltose beverages within the city of Wor- cester . . . The glorious brothers of the I.H.E.E. furthermore dis- tinguish themselves from the herd when once each week they appear on the campus scene attired in their traditional apparel which consists of a straw hat, plaid vest, bow tie, white shirt, and cane. The magnificent order of the I.H.E.E. is not content merely to meet once a week for they participate annually in a trip to Carlings ' Brewery, the Boston Pops, and to the Concord River where a yearly canoe trip is enjoyed by all. 28 Going , Gone. .. (R. I. P.) A.I.E.E. — I.R.E. Membership in the Joint Student Btanch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio En- gineers at Worcester Tech offers the Electrical Engineering Student many advantages. This organization, which has as its major aim the broadening of the student ' s appreciation for ap- plied engineering, strengthens the students social and techincal bonds with classmates, faculty, and industrial representatives. At AIEE-IRE meetings, the membership is informed as to the latest advances in Electrical Engineering and correlated fields. This objective is realized when speakers from nearby industry talk on specific fields of interest. In addition, films are often times presented which supplement these talks. This year, those in attendance were particularly fortunate in that demonstrations accompanied a good percentage of the talks. These demonstrations were helpful in that they provided the members with a clearer insight into problems that face the working engineer. Again, the highlight in the organization ' s annual program was its spring picnic where both faculty and students enjoyed an informal get together. Seated: C. Matonis, C. Jacobs, R. Gagne, R.

The profession of Mechanical Engineering is es- sential to all branches of manufacturing and proces- sing industries. It plays a vital role in transportation, in energy conversion and utilization, and in plant construction. The curriculum of the Mechanical Engineering department provides its students with a sound foun- dation in the fundamentals of engineering sciences, and strikes a proper balance between theory and appli- cation. Included also in the schedule is a four-year sequence of cultural and social studies. Courses of this nature are essential to broaden the engineers educa- tion. Although there is little time in an undergradu- ate course for specialization, considerable flexibility is provided in the senior year by means of elective courses. Under the able direction of Professor Donald Zwiep, head of the M.E. department, the curriculum was revised, not only to give the seniors more flexibili- ty, but also to provide a better foundation and a more frugal utilization of class time to the Sophomores and Juniors. Professor Zwiep also instituted a weekly one- hour seminar for all the Seniors. The purpose of this seminar is to give the student a direct opportunity to suggest improvements in the M.E. schedule and to express any general complaints. All this, coupled with an excellent faculty, pro- vides the student with an excellent background. Professor Donald N. Zwiep Head of Department Sealed: Prof. F. Finlayson, Prof. B. Wcllman. Prof. C.

In the M. E. Gradu- ate School there are now thirty students represent- ing such undergraduate schools as Case, Norwich, Stevens Inst., Tufts, and others. Graduate students begin with advanced courses in Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Thermodynamics, and Mathematics. They then may branch out into a field of interest in which the thesis is written. The graduate courses are designed for either full- or part-time students and many forms of fi- nancial aid as well as teaching assistantships are available. Also, a 2.9 quality point average must be maintained for a student to be eligible for the Master ' s degree.

Student Section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers is open to all students in the M.E. department. The goal of the organization is to acquaint its members with the Mechanical Engineering profession. To accomplish this, the ASME holds monthly meetings at which prominent speakers discuss subjects of engineering interest. This year, in addition to the evening meetings, the program included afternoon movie showings and field trips to industries in this area. A new feature was a joint meeting with the Student Sec- tion at the University of Masachusetts. Socially, the society co-sponsored a Christmas party at the Yellow Barn with the ASCE. The highlight of the year ' s program was a com- bined dinner with ASME Senior Chapter in Wor- cester. Following the dinner, the students had an opportunity to meet and talk with the professional engineers informally. Near the end of the school year, the ASME held its student paper contest as a climax to the program. In the contest students with creative ideas presented them in competition before the student body and a panel of judges from industry and the school faculty. The winner of the con- test, in addition to receiving an engineering hand- book, was sent to the regional contest to compete against students from other engineering schools of the area. K. Cotter, J.

The Gents The Gents, without a doubt the noblest organization of its kind in existence, was founded in Oxford-on-Thames, Eng- land by Guy Faulk, a world reknowned leader and pacesetter without peer in the realm of gentlemanly tradition. Ever since 1687 when Noble Founder Faulk introduced the concept of an organization consisting of gentlemen possessing those manly virtues that truly distinguished its members, the Gents have tried to live up to the principles conceived at the founding. The Alpha Zeta chapter of Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute was founded in 1889 by J. Cotesworth Witherspoon. ( ' 90, A.S.M.E. 60-14-839). Noble Gent Witherspoon saw the need for leadership in bringing about a higher calibre of per- son in the very technical atmosphere at the campus. The key to the program was improvement through leadership in de- veloping the entire man through a well-rounded program. The members have concentrated on mechanical engineers because that is the area most worthy of improvement. From deep within the Chapter chambers can be heard the hallowed praises to the secret idol Jaylee . The noble gents in their attire of top hat, proper umbrella, and finely squired wardrobe meet to discuss topics of contemporary im- portance (John Birch Society, YAF, NAACP, The Twist, Metrecal) as well as the age-old problems which continue to plague mankind. It can easily be seen why much must be done to offset these problems. 33 M A T H E M A T I C S Seated: Prof. Edward Brown, Prof. Elliott Buell, Prof. Richard Cobb.

The mathematics facilities of W.P.I., besides be- ing a degree granting department, has the exceedingly important function of providing a sound, diverse and comprehensive mathematics background for all Tech students. The department is headed by Dr. Elliott L. Buell, and under his guidance the department has expanded its scope in many ways. Many new courses appeared on the agenda to meet the needs of the math majors, graduate students and interested students from other departments. The math faculty has been increased with the addition of John P. Van Alstyne, Joseph J. Kaul and Philip E. Shakir. The Mathematics Seminar has been successfully continued and speakers have been obtained from prominent educational institutions outside of W.P.I. This year the department has initiated a Computa- tion Colloquium which has been extraordinarily suc- cessful with topics ranging from Flame Turbulance to Computer Applications to Educational Guidance. The summer of 1961 announced the arrival of the new IBM 1620 Data Processing System, which has tremendously expanded the flexibility and availability of the Computation Facility. The addition of Bruce Woodford as a graduate- assistant in the department working on the computer has made the facilities more readily available to the faculty and students. The Math Department ' s role is growing steadily from its former role as a service department. 34 Professor Elliott L. Buell Head of Department 35 Semi-Simple Group The Semi-Simple Group is the mathematics club of W.P.I, and during the two years of its existence, has suc- cessfully sponsored many prominent speakers, trips to other college math club meetings and demonstrations. The club annually gives a mathematics achievement examination to members of the freshman class with an ap- propriate award to the winning contestant. The Semi- Simple Group sponsors a computer demonstration each Parent ' s Day. The membership in the organization is constantly in- creasing and is open to all students of Worcester Tech in- terested in broadening their knowledge in the various fields of mathematics. Under the guidance of its new advisor, Prof. Richard N. Cobb, the club is steadily advancing in its quest to pro- vide a real benefit to not only the math department, but the entire student body. The increasing role, of mathematics in industry makes it mandatory that all science and engineering students realize the potential of this tremendous tool. Seated: D. Cohen, G. D. I. McDonnell, P.

Along with the completion of the new physics building, facilities have become more extensive and the cur- riculum has been revised. In addition to the standard freshman-sophomore courses required for all, the de- partment offers intermediate courses in such fields as electronics, optics, dynamics, and electromagnetic theory. Facilities include a new 2-Mv Van de Graaff •accelerator, apparatus for research in nuclear magnetic resonance, and considerable X-ray diffraction equip- ment. The physics department, headed by Dr. Allan E. Parker, is regarded by many students with mixed emotions. For the two lower classes, physics is one of the more challenging courses on the hill. The quality and rigor of the physics curriculum are en- joyed however, by those in the upper classes who major in physics. The department also cooperates with the National Science Foundation as evidenced by its summer programs. Participation in a ten-week summer research program is offered to a limited num- ber of undergraduates. Experience in research is re- quired for the Bachelor of Science degree in physics. Every senior physics major is required to prepare a thesis on some suitable topic in almost any field of physics that he chooses. These many facets of our physics department are indications of a modern trend in undergraduate education. Professor Allan E.

For those in the Master ' s program, the first year ' s work consists entirely of required courses. The second year ' s work is comprised of more ad- vanced courses in addition to a thesis. The re- quirements for a doctorate degree include advanced courses in addition to a doctorate thesis. The re- search work necessary for a thesis is done in con- junction with Professor Wooten on the Van De- Graff particle accelerator or with a nuclear magnetic resonance project directed by Professor Muller. Another feature of the graduate program is a weekly luncheon seminar with lectures given by the graduate students. Great interest is added to the program by a series of colloquiums held every other week. At these colloquiums members of the faculty or noted scientists speak on some aspect of advanced physics. 38 J. Brcnnan, W. Ercian, W. Kccne, A. Greene, H. McDevitt, T. Meyers. A.I.P. The American Institute of Physics was founded at Worcester Tech in 1959. This organization was originally known as the Physics Club. It was established on campus for about five years before it became affiliated with A.I.P. The purpose of this organization is to acquaint the under- graduate with the world of the physicist and to improve relations between the faculty and the student body. This year A.I.P. has renewed it ' s activities with in- creased vigor. President Bob Behn has planned such events as lectures, films, field trips, and various other programs to keep the members aware of the latest events in the fields of physics. Mr. Robert Long is the faculty advisor of the organization. He is largely responsible for the recent suc- cess of A.I.P. at Tech and has become, during his short stay, one of the most popular members of the faculty. Another important service that the A.I.P. provides is a concise list of graduate schools that would be of interest to physics majors. Lectures are also given to acquaint the physics students with the problems that he will face when applying to graduate schools. Seated: J. Freeman, R. Behn, T. Morrill. Standing: K. Krikorian, R.

Schwieger Head of Department Although the Department of Economics, Government and Business is small in number of faculty members, it plays an outstanding part in the social development of Tech students. From the courses offered by this department, the student has a chance to broaden not only his knowledge of finance, management, and operations, but also his understanding of basic modern society. Technical courses provide the necessary scien- tific background for the highly competitive en- gineering world today. These courses alone, how- ever, are not enough. The interesting courses of- fered by the Economics, Government, and Business Department help the student to combine his techni- cal knowledge with modern methods of practical application. Dr. Albert Schwieger, head of the department, is a graduate of Hamline College, Clark University, and Harvard University. He and his colleagues, Professors Nicholas Onorato, Thaddeus H. Rodden- bury and Joseph F. Zimmerman, constantly strive to improve the practical education of all Tech men. 40 T p n 1 A ¥ ?

The problem facing educational institutions today is a difficult one to solve. While our ex- panding technology cries for people trained in the sciences and engineering, the demand has not slackened for well-rounded people with mana- gerial ability. Our Department of History and Modern Language here at Tech strives to aid the student to grasp a knowledge of human affairs and psychology unavailable in his technical courses. The second-year German course, for instance, stres- ses non-technical German rather than concentrat- ing on scientific reading material. Courses such as Culture of Western Europe and Western Ideas and Values give the uncultured Techman a picture of how the art and ideas of our present civilization developed. The addition of Dr. McKey to the faculty in 1960 is part of the department ' s policy of expand- ing their teaching staff to keep pace with present needs. With the increased interest shown by the stu- dent body in non-technical courses, the role of the History and Modern Language Department will become even more important in the future.

Prof. Edwin Higginbottom Head of Department The English Department, headed by Profes- sor Edwin Higginbottom continues its reoriented program in the freshman curriculum. Through a series of placement tests the Department can determine the individual needs of each freshman. With this information the Department is able to place each student in a class geared to his ability. Hence more capable students are given the oppor- tunity to take advantge of their ability. There is a developmental course designed to increase read- ing rate and comprehension. Composition and Reading, the freshman course, is a liberal course covering the essentials of gram- mar with an increased emphasis on literature and composition of a non-technical variety. By means of individual conferences the instructor can dis- cuss the student ' s progress with him. Contact with the upper classes is confined to the senior year. A vocational elective in Oral Com- munications and humanity electives in World Literature, Great issues in the Novel, and Master- pieces of the Drama are a welcome change in the otherwise technical upperclass curriculum. 44 The Military Science Department has advanced a long way since it was originated eleven years ago. It was organized to permit qualified students to obtain reserve commissions upon graduation. There are more students in the military sci- ence department than there are in any other department. The R.O.T.C. consists of two main parts, the basic and the advanced corps. The basic is compulsory for freshmen and sophomores. To be a member of the advanced corps one must pass an interviewing board. The program curriculum consists of two one hour drills weekly in addition to two hours of classroom instruction. Each year there is a selection of Distinguished Military Students . The tentative designation is made at the end of the junior year. The final selection is made at the beginning of the Cadet ' s senior year. The selection is based primarily on the Cadet ' s performance at summer camp, although moral charac- ter, leadership ability, and class academic standing are im- portant. Upon graduation, Distinguished Military Students receive the same commission that a West Point graduate would receive. DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS Lt.

A. J. KNIGHT, Treasurer Bajeball Upon enrollment in the Institute in September, each and and every student automatically gains membership to the largest organization on Boynton Hill, the Worcester Tech Athletic Association. One of the principal duties of this or- ganization is to encourage student participation and support of the Tech athletic squads. Financially, this is accomplished by the thirty dollar Activity Tax familiar to every student. In addition to this the Association makes known the voice of the student to the Administration and Athletic Department on all major athletic problems. Supplementary duties include election of managers and award presentations for various sports. The leadership for this organization comes from the student body, the faculty, and the alumni. Four undergraduates are elected each spring and, with the help of a fifth student ap- pointed by the President, this group introduces the young ideas necessary to prevent stagnation. The guidance of stability and maturity is provided by three members of the faculty and two alumni, making a total of ten. The Association meets three times a year. 114 P F l Ooh, that feels goood.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Turning the pear-shaped Techman into a well- conditioned athlete is not an easy task. However, evidence of Tech ' s athletic achievements this year and in years past proves that it can be done. For many years, the Physical Education Depart- ment has been responsible for turning out teams which have equalled or surpassed the performance of teams of much larger schools. This has only been possible through the devotion and earnest endeavor of the staff. In addition to offering lectures on physical educa- tion , hygiene and related subjects, the Department also provides freshmen and sophomores with incentive to develop their physical strength and skills. In this way, the department has played an important part in insuring the students ' well-being. Overall, Worcester Tech ' s physical education de- partment is one of the finest among the small colleges of New England. 115 F O O T B A L L RECORD J ' .s W.P.I. . 18 Central Conn. . 24 W.P.I. 38 Bates 14 Hi W.P.I. . 2 Middlebury 6 ffj W.P.I. 21 Wesleyan 20 W.P.I. .. 14 Coast Guard .. 21 W.P.I. . 8 Norwich 9 W.P.I. . 40 R.P.I . 7A Pete Martin Jack Pisinski If we could go back in time to the day of September 4, 1961, we would find both the W. P. I. gym and Leo the trainer in a state of confusion. Leo was moaning because he was being harassed by the men coming in either from work or their Labor Day weekend at the Cape. However, everyone was psychologically set for good hard physical work. Spirit ran high as the team looked to a successful season with 16 lettermen returning. A preview to our team ' s outlook for ' 61 came against Amherst College two weeks after practice began. The Engineers faired well against this small college power- house. Worcester ' s first game came one week later on Septem- ber 23, against Central Connecticut State College at New Britain. This game was one of Tech ' s finest performances in losing. For the team was down 24-0 at halftime and came back to score three touchdowns in the second half and completely dominate play in losing 24-18. After spending two weeks working mainly on defense, the Gridders were now ready to take on their most potent rival, Middlebury. This game was, as usual, a hard fought defensive battle between two equally matched foes. Only a mistake in the last quarter brought Tech down to defeat 6-2, which was indicative of the breaks going against the team this season. The following weekend saw the team traveling to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. The general mood was that of a team which was quiet and hungry for victory, for everyone knew that they had a better ball club than the 0-2 record indicated. Bates quickly became aware of this, is they were bombed 38-14 by the Engineers. With the first win of the season finally put away, the Gridders had much of the pressure taken from them, and practiced with a renewed sense of confidence. This con- fidence in themselves was an integral part of the Wes- leyan game, as the team withstood Wesleyan ' s last quarter surge and preserved a 21-20 victory. The following week coach Pritchard had the men work mainly on pass defense to prepare for Otto Graham ' s ' pro offense ' at Coast Guard. This was another one of the Gridders ' heartbreakers. After having fought s avagely for most of four quarters and leading Coast Guard 14-13, the sailors pulled a last minute desperation razzle-dazzle double reverse option play. This play went 80 yards for Tech ' s disaster. The final score, we are sorry to say, was 20-14. The R. P. I. game this year was one of Tech ' s more important games in the light that after 54 years of football games between these r ivals, Tech had won 25, lost 25, and tied four. The Engineers from Worcester went all out in this one, trouncing Rensselaer 40-0; and handing coach Bob Pritchard his fiftieth victory at Tech. The final game of the year was played in biting cold weather against Norwich Academy at Norwich. The weather was better to the Engineers than lady luck. This was the worst heart-breaker of all Tech ' s games, as the Gridders were downed 9-7 on a Cadet field goal. An off- side gave Norwich their second consecutive chance for a field goal with less than a minute left CO play, and their first field goal since 1938 was the result. Thus, Tech ended its season with a fair 3-4 record. This record however, does not give a true picture of the good fighting team of ' 61. 116 HHK BBv ™ ™ B w w m B 4 62 175 ' 72 itfW- IBJKa 6 V 8 V« - if v 3 Gotcha!

Bob Clark With the return of eight lettermen and a large number of reserves from the previous season, Coach Alan King and his assistant, Jim MacKechnie, settled down to the task of prepar- ing a winning team for the 1961 season. The soccer squad eagerly assumed the job of getting into top physical condition while awaiting the fast-approaching first game of the season. Finally the day of the opener came when the Tech team traveled to Tufts. After a hard-fought contest, Tech scored the winning goal in an overtime period to give the squad its first victory of the season at 3-2. The Techmen next played M.I.T. On a cold, drizzly day, the Tech squad was slightly out- classed in ball handling and received its first loss of the season with a score of 3-1. Rebounding from a defeat, Tech romped over U. of Hart- ford with a solid 8-1 victory. Spirits of the team rose to a peak as Tech met its cross-city rival, Clark University, on the soccer field. Tech quickly took control of the impending situation, resulting in another sound victory of 8-0 over the Clark team. Opposing A.I.C, Tech acquired its fourth victory of the season by defeating them 3-0. Tech had a real battle on is hands as the team engaged with U. of Mass. Defensive play halted the UMass scoring threat at one goal, but the Tech forward line was only able to score once so that Worcester had to settle for a 1-1 tie in over- time. Upon their arrival, the Coast Guard Academy played as hard as ever. In order to add extra scoring power, Coach King moved some of his stongest defensive kickers into the forward line, but Tech was unable to capitalize with a victory as they John Rupprecht The Russian Ballet lost 3-1. The squad seemed to have lost some of its offensive punch as is was only able to score once again against Lowell Tech, losing 4-1. The last game of the season saw Tech in a similar predicament as they were behind 4-0 during the half at B.U. Tech again used the power offense, resulting in 3 second half goals. A last minute penalty shot bounced off the goal- post, however, causing a defeat at the hands of B.U. The final game record of the 1961 soccer season was a noteworthy 4-4-1. The members of the team will always re- member many of the bad breaks that Worcester received in a couple of its games near the end of the season. 1 First Row: Jack Robertson, John Camera, John Merigian, Dave Good- man, R obert Clark, John Rupprecht, Steve Ostetling, George Forsberg, Charles Belanger.

This was after it got off to a bad start with two straight losses to M.I.T., Wesleyan, and a very close 27-30 loss to Bates. However, as the season progressed the team improved, finishing up with a record of four wins and five losses. The team scored better this year than they did last year against almost every team. It is expected that next year the team will do even better, since only two men, Captain Carmine Carosella and Bob Whittum, are graduating. Next year, Coach Frank Sanella hopes for a winning season. Bolstering his hopes are veteran juniors Al Hoffman, Roger Maddocks, and Hank Schroeder, sophomores Jerry McGee, Dave Monks, Bob Garrison, John Bradley, Dick Cox, and Tom New- man, and freshmen Bob Brownlee, Bob Hawes, Jim Fee, Tom Trafidlo, Jan Moren, Steve Beges, Jim Gallo, Greg Garach, and Allen Downs. 126 A tight finish.

The Relay Team, comprised of members of the W.P.I. Track squad, took part in two meets last year, the Boston Athletic Association and the Knights of Columbus. Running against the keen competition of some of New England ' s larger schools, Tufts, Holy Cross, Brown, Boston University, and Boston College, Tech ' s indoor harriers came in 5th in the two mile relay grind and finished a respectable 3rd in the one mile event. The two mile toggers were Alan Hoff- man, Jerry McGee, Jack Ryder, and John Bradley, while the one mile sprinters were led by Co-Captains Dave Prosser and Joe Carpentiere and by Dave Monks and John Apostolos. This year Coach Frank Sanella ' s lightly clads looked forward to a good season with a strong team of seasoned veterans, having lost only the two senior co-captains. The crimson and gray planned to venture to Boston for the K of C meet January 13 and the B.A.A. games on February 3. Into the home stretch.

Andy Edelman Co-Capt. Rog Curtis As the football season comes to a close basketball becomes the topic of interest on the Tech campus. This year, as in the past years, Tech ' s varsity basket- bailers have been coached by Charles McNulty. Coach McNulty has the ability to get the most out of the material he has to work with. His competent assistant is Merle Norcross, junior varsity coach. This year the team is led by co-captains Roger Curtis and Andy Edelman. They are among the best guards that Tech has ever had on the same team. Roger, starting his third year of varsity ball, is a tre- mendous ballhandler and playmaker. He has thrilled many crowds with his amazing dribbling, ball control, and defensive ball hawking. Andy, starting his fourth year of varsity competition, can do everything well; shoot, rebound, dribble, and play defense. He has a great variety of shots including an overhead set shot and a deadly jump shot along with tremendous fakes. Returning to his center position is six-foot-six Hank Schroeder. Hank, who did not have much high school experience, improves with every game. He is the team ' s strongest rebounder and adds valuable points too. At one forward position is senior Harry Rapelje. Harry has a very accurate shooting eye and scores well from the corner. Although he is usually much shorter than his opponent, he still manages to grab his share of rebounds. The other forward posi- tion is held by sophomore Bob Gieger. Bob, a con- verted guard, has shown that he can handle either position well. Dave Helming, another sophomore, also will see a lot of action at this position. Dave- was outstanding on Coach Norcross ' J. V. team and continues to show his desire to win. Other players who will see a lot of action are senior guards Bill Borla and Dave Luoma. They both can be called on to relieve Curtis and Edelman and do a top rate job. Junior center Jim Daly does a good job relieving Hank Schroeder. Other members of the squad who can be counted on this year and in the future are junior guard Dick Kierstead and sophomores Dave Larrabee, Bill Shields, Tom Ganley, Pete Dornemann, and Gary Coram. f J Bill Borla 128 First Row: Bill Borla, Dave Luoma, Andy Ed- elman, Roger Curtis, Harry Rapelje, Dick Kierstead.

The Worcester Tech hockey club, now in its seventh year on the hill, promised to be one of the best ever. With fourteen sea- soned veterans and six very promising freshmen, the club battled its way to several fine victories and an equal amount of heartbreakers. From the initial practice sessions to the final game, Coach Herbert W. Yankee has inspired the team both in times of success and failure. His able coaching and advice have shaped a well-knit, hustling hockey team. Co-captains Pat Williamson and Bill Krein have done an excel- lent job on the ice as well as in the locker room before and between periods. Bill, the netsman, foiled many scoring threats from the opposition and Pat, one of the most aggressive defensemen in the league, broke up many a play before they became a reality. Due to the depth of this year ' s club Coach Yankee could play three equal lines thus allowing ample rest for the players. The Yankeemen have gained a great deal of experience playing under their newly adopted system of zone offense and defense. With this newly gained experience and many returning lettermen, next year ' s club has the makings of a fine, winning hockey team. My word! I can ' t believe he said that. 135 But I can ' t reach that far! 7T A £} £r R« ' Row: Dan Pender, Jim Nystrum, Jim Quirk, Ralph Johanson, Randy Burr, Roger Carlson.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, or so the saying goes, and if this may be considered true the Tech swim- ming team is as close as possible to sanctity. A shower before practice, an hour and thirty minutes in treated pool water, and a shower to terminate the day ' s workout rids them of many unwanted attachments. This, of course, facilitates fast swimming, for speed is propor- tional to the amount of extra weight discarded. Judging by last year ' s record, our shining representa- tives in the tank were more spotless than ever, for they not only gave Mr. Clean a run for his money, but managed to kick water in the faces of a majority of their opponents. This constitutes a winning season and the first that the W.P.I, natators have seen in twenty Nonconformist. Mike Anderson, Pete Oberbeck, Dave Gendron, Garry DeVlieg, Phil Giantris, Frank Grant. MING years. The final record of the 60 - 6l season stands at four wins and three losses, with the Tech tankmen hav- ing beaten the University of Massachusetts, Tufts, Holy Cross, and Assumption. This year ' s squad, under the tutelage of ageless Frank Grant, and hoping to repeat this past season ' s perform- ance, was captained by Jim Quirk and Ralph Johansen. Jim and Ralph will be leading essentially the same competent group into competition. Among them are; Bob Rounds, Roger Carlson, Dan Pender, Roger Reed, Glenn Theodore, Bob Desmond, Dick Dan, and others. With the tally sheet now showing but one win and three losses there must be some excellent swimming on their part so that they might attain their goal for the 62 schedule. Bombs away.

An optimistic tennis team awaited the thaw this spring. Remembering last springs successes were captain Albie And- rews, competently aided by Erik Sellevold and Ken Holman, both seniors, who hope to lead the tennis team to another winning season. Since the team is playing against relatively the same teams that appeared on last year ' s schedule, this aspiration seems quite reasonable. Despite the loss of three of the team ' s more capable players, the outlook for the ' 62 season is encouraging. This is particularly the case since the Freshman Class promises to provide the team with the needed depth. If the perennial rumors that This is the best team yet are substantiated, this excellent spectator sport should provide exciting, well attended matches.

People who like people Around and around and up and down . . . Wrestling is becoming a very popular sport at Worcester Tech. The club has come a long way from its advent in 1957. Last year they sported a 5-2-1 record against a mixed varsity and J. V. schedule. This year the team has been reinforced by a number of good wrestlers from the freshman class. The record to date is 3-3 against an all varsity schedule comprised of some of the better teams in New England, and the outlook is very promising for a winning season. The N.E.IW.A. tournament outlook this year is better than it has ever been, especially for the freshman wrestlers. The present varsity team is comprised mostly of freshmen, some of whom boast undefeated or single loss records. This year ' s team consists of three returning lettermen and five freshmen. The three lettermen are Captain Bob Murphy (137), Bob Drean (157), and Heavyweight Stan Syzmanski. The five freshmen are Jim Fee (123), Jim Clark (130), John Wilson (147), Don Hazen (167), and Russ Trask (177). The team has made a fine showing this year and could develop into one of the finest in New England in years to come. 141 B A S E B A L L RECORD Clark 5 W.P.I 19 W.P.I 7 Brandeis 5 Suffolk 6 Wesleyan ... 10 Assumption - W.P.I II) W.P.I 8 W.P.I 4 A.I.C 5 Lowell Tech 5 W.P.I 4 W.P.I 5 W.P.I 7 W.P.I 3 Trinity 2 Tufts 4 Co-Captain Pete Martin Co-Captain Harry Rapelje Just as soon as enough snow melts to reveal a few patches of green, Coach McNulty will have his base- ball candidates on Alumni Field in anxious prepara- tion for the coming season. Stinging bats and a few sore arms won ' t slow Coach McNulty and his boys in their efforts to prepare for what promises to be a successful season. The departure of last year ' s graduating class left a few very noticeable holes on the Tech line-up. It will be many years before anyone will see a trio com- parable to Fred Duval, Whitey Lehtinen, and Al St. Germain. Duval, as the 1961 captain, had the team ' s highest batting average. Whitey and The Saint pro- vided the nucleus of Coach McNulty ' s mound staff. To find replacements for such men may seem like an insurmountable task, but this year ' s team should provide just as many outstanding performers as any other. The outfield seems pretty well set in left field with Fred Molinari, and in right field with Les Hart. These two strong armed outfielders should nab many daring base runners in addition to providing the two biggest bats in the line-up. At present, no one has tied down the center field position. The infield is quite definite with Pete Martin at first, Dave Luoma at second, Roger Curtis at shortstop, and Bob Mcintosh leading the field at third. Curtis and Luoma have shown themselves to be one of the quickest double play combinations in New England college baseball. Bob Bennett has implanted himself firmly behind home plate as the team ' s catcher. Bob ' s quick right arm will catch many careless baserunners during the coming season. The big question mark on the Tech team is how the Engineer ' s mound staff will shape up. Harry Rapelje is the only proven Tech moundsman. Pat Williamson will fill the role as the second front line starter, while Bill Sherbet will be the relief specialist. The 1962 Worcester Tech baseball team will be rich in experience, as the starting line-up is composed of eight lettermen. The underclassmen, especially the Freshmen, show a lot of promising capabilities. Good team spirit, always necessary for a winning season, is insured under the leadership of co-captains Rog Curtis and Harry Rapelje. The combination of proven talent, experience, and promising potential all points towards a successful season which will long be remembered. a ; ' 142 Les Hart :s First Row: Dave Luoma, Harry Ra pelje, Bob Mcintosh, Al St. Germain, Fred Duval, Whitey tehtinen, Ed Altieri, Pete Martin, Roger Curtis.

As early as the swallows come back to Capistrano, or the red-breasted robin returns to New England, Tech ' s harbingers of spring, the golf peons, will be out hacking up the Worcester hillsides in the still-remaining inch or two of white winter. Last year ' s Sultans of Swat surrendered a 3-won, 5-lost record to opponents. However, this record conveys nothing of the type of hard-fought matches in which the W.P.I, linkmen engaged. Opening with a 5-to-2 defeat at the hands of Trinity, the Tech swingers rebounded to slaughter cross-town rival, Clark, ironically enough by the same score, 5-to-2, and also heavily-favored Boston University by a 6-1 count. Alas, the bag-toting lads then suffered three heartbreaking losses in suc- cession to A.I.C., Lowell Tech, and the University of Massachu- setts, all by the slim margin of 4-3. Longer drives and straighter putts then brought another 6-1 victory, this time over Nichols, but a 1-6 reversal by Tufts thwarted a noble try for a .500 sea- son and closed the curtain on another golf season. In a torrential downpour at Providence, R.I., Tech could muster no qualifiers for the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association tourney. However, with only the losses of Captain Brad Cushing and Paul Mannheim, Coach Fred Butler ' s divot diggers will be teeing off for a successful round with the return of Captain Bill Fado, Jim Wrong-Hole Carrigan, and Al Burr (who was out with injuries last year ) , as well as a host of returning under- classmen. t Al Burr 147 «- « ' .. h- ' I v,r ' y; My balloon!

Throughout the afternoon the Techmen kept neck to neck with a strong Coast Guard team with the Academy ' s depth in the weight events finally putting them on top 71 Vi to 54V2. Led by Prosser, Sinder, Wandle and Czarneicki, Tech showed its strength by sweeping both the 100 yd. and 220 yd. dashes. Al Potvin and Todd Varnum showed signs of future with the two freshmen placing 1-2 in the broad jump. Winding up the season, Tech traveled to Connecticut for a meet with Central Conn. State College on May 18th. Annual- ly a powerhouse, C.C.S.C. showed its strength by taking 8 of 14 first places and moved on to a 74-52 win. Firsts for Worcester were taken by Pisinski in the shot put, Czarneicki in the 100 and 220 yd. dashes, McGrath in the high hurdles and high jump and Potvin in the broad jump. With W.P.I, the host, a large number of the New England track teams made the annual invasion of Techs campus for the Eastern Track Meet on May 1 3th. When the day was over W.P.I, had contributed to the exciting afternoon with Bo Kuehn placing in the pole vault and Jack McGrath placing in the high and low hurdles and the high jump. Looking back on a season of spirited competition led by co-captains Dave Prosser and Moe Rees the Engineers compiled a 2-3 record against stiff competition and with the array of talented underclassmen present in all events Coach Norcross is in for even more success next season. Congratulations go to Jack Pisinski and Jack McGrath, newly elected co-captains of the ' 62 team.

Last year, as in the past, the Kingsmen literally broke the ice on Spring Sports, as the first of April saw six inches of snow and the start of another Lacrosse season. Showing much spirit and willingness to learn under their coach, the squad first practiced their basic offensive and defen- sive maneuvers and soon moved into full-field scrimmages. Coach Allen King, meanwhile, carefully observed, learning the game himself and at the same time trying to fill the many gaps. Coach Al King ' s patience throughout his first season as mentor, allowed him to study each player, realizing strong- points and shortcomings, which he might utilize in rebuilding for the future. The winless record of the 1961 team was not indicative of the individual efforts and the never quit attitude displayed by the players. Tech was never out of any game throughout the season. They rose to the occasion, nearly pull- ing several upsets over New England ' s strongest Lacrosse teams. Things are looking up for the future. The first and second midfield will see the return of three-year veterans — Ross Heald, Dave Norton, and Tony Biancaniello — and also Bill Elliot, a one-year veteran. The two gaps left by graduating seniors will probably be filled by last year ' s defensive mid- fielders, Red Parmelle and Joe LeBlanc. Co-captain Skip Warr is the only returnee in the attack line which will cause two major headaches for Coach King. Bill Krein is probably slated for one of these positions. Co-captain Al Hadley, last year ' s goalie, and Tom Conway will return to their regular de- fensive positions. Present juniors who will see much action this year include Ken Olsen, Chuck Menzigian, George Vittas, Dan Pender, Butch Taylor, and Larry Bascom. Coach Allen King will nevertheless have his work cut out for him in molding 1962 ' s Lacrosse team. Al Hadley goes up for a save. 151 c H E E R L E A D E R S mm, « m i ..

At the present time, after 27 years of operation, there are 700 colleges participating from all over the United States. The names of all those who are selected appear in the annual edition of Who ' s Who , published in July. Here at Tech, only seniors are selected for membership. Nomina- tions are carried out by the Council of Presidents and elections are made by the Tech Senate. Elections must then be approved by the national society, and those elected are notified in November. As a symbol of their achievement, initiates to Who ' s Who are presented with a scroll symbolizing their membership by Dean Downing at a January assembly. They are then privileged to wear the Who ' s Who key, a symbol of un- dergraduate excellence. Who ' s Who also provides an aid-to-placement service, whereby any member can request that a copy of his Who ' s Who write-up be sent to any school or company he wishes, as an added recommendation. Because of its national significance, the prestige of membership in Who ' s Who constitutes a just reward for those whose labors have advanced the interests of their school and their fellow undergraduates.

Allan Sharon SIGMA XI Sigma Xi is a national honorary society dedicated to the promotion of research in the field of applied science. The principal purpose of the society, founded in the year 1886 at Cornell University, is to honor those deserving students who have exhibited extraordinary abilities through scholarship and have shown an earnest desire to further scientific research and advancement. The chapter here at Tech was founded in 1908. Associate membership is conferred on deserving members of the senior class; full membership can only be achieved by those members of the society who endeavor to further their studies in advance fields or show interest in developing new research projects. The chapter of Sigma Xi at Tech promotes undergraduate interest in new engineering and research discoveries by con- ducring periodic forums featuring outstanding scientists who inform the group of reecnt work and discoveries in various fields.

Its pur- poses are: to mark in a fitting manner those who have con- ferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholar- ship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering col- leges of America. The honor society was founded in 1885 at Lehigh University and the Massachusetts Alpha chapter was instituted here at Tech in 1910. Men are selected twice each year on the basis of leadership, character, breadth of interest and scholastic standing. Only those in the upper eighth of their junior class and the upper fifth of the senior class are considered. Tau Beta Pi represents W.P.I, at various meetings with industry and other schools in the area trying to promote better graduate education and understanding. Within the school it promotes better student faculty relations as a go-between with such activities as the yearly outing and course evaluation forms. The atmosphere created by Tau Beta Pi in the under- graduate college might be summed up by the saying, Enter to learn, go forth to serve. It is serving in the world about us that is the ultimate goal of Tau Beta Pi.

Since it strives to work with undergraduates, its chapters have been established only at those colleges which, even though they offer no formal journalism curriculum, have exhibited truly high standards of journalism ethics and ability in their campus publications. Founded at Syracuse University in 1909 and brought to the Worcester Tech Campus in 1948, its purpose is to foster mutual welfare of student publications, to develop the truest fraternal spirit among its members, to encourage loyalty to their Alma Mater, and to reward student journalists for their efforts, services and accomplishments by admission to its mem- bership. It is for these ends that Pi Delta Epsilon chooses, each year, those members of the student body who have proven themselves outstanding in the field of journalism to wear the lead slug and white carnation, the symbols of pledgeship to the fraternity. During the second term of the school year, the fraternity sponsors the Pi Delt Songfest, a display of keen competition between the octets of the ten social fraternities for possession of the coveted Songfest Trophy for a one year period.

Its aim is to advance the profession of electrical engineering by as- sisting its members in becoming better engineers and better citizens. Election to Eta Kappa Nu is based largely on the records of students during their undergraduate years. Outstanding members of the junior and senior class are selected. They must have shown, by their scholastic records an d personal traits, that they will be successful in their chosen profession. The purpose of Eta Kappa Nu is not merely to honor the outstanding students. Each chapter seeks to enhance the electrical engineering department of its school, both by setting a fine example to other students, and by engaging in worth- while activities, such as the preparation of electrical exhibits for college open house.

On March 8, 1959, the Tau Tau chapter at W.P.I, was installed. Pi Tau Sigma is dedicated not only to furthering the Mechanical Engineering profession but also to developing in Mechanical Engineering students a feeling of sound engineer- ing ethics. The membership of the organization is therefore comprised of those men in the upper quarter of the junior M.E. class and the upper third of the M.E. class who possess those attributes. This year as in the past, Tau Tau chapter has participated in furthering useful projects on the Worcester Tech campus. For this reason, membership in Pi Tau Sigma means more than mere recognition; it is a means by which Mechanical Engineers may achieve qualities required of effective leadership.

Today, due to the wisdom and foresight of its founders, the Fraternity is comprised of over fifty active chap- ters. The main purpose of Chi Epsilon is to contribute to the improvement of the engineering profession. The Fraternity fosters the development and exercise of fundamentally sound traits of character and technical ability among engineers which will work towards a higher standard of service offered to humanity by the profession. The need had long been felt for such a society, since, until the conception of the Civil Engineering Honor Society, Civil Engineering stood alone among the major branches of engineer- ing at the Instiute without a formal honor group. The Society would accord recognition to those students possessing the four primary requirements of a successful engineer: Scholarship, Character, Practicality, and Sociability.

Previously, membership was offered only at Fort Gordon, Georgia to those Advanced Corps R.O.TG. cadets who showed themselves to be superior while attending summer camp there. The Worcester Tech students who became members at summer camp last year realized the need for a chapter on the W.P.I, campus. Consequently, Alpha Nu Chapter of the Pi Tau Pi Sigma Fraternity was founded on October 9, 1961. The charter members of this fraternity were: Victor B. Castellani, Ralph A. Herrick, Edmund B. Pyle III, William J. Shepherd and Walker T Thompson. Membership in Pi Tau Pi Sigma is extended to those cadets of the Advanced Corps R.O.T.C. who have attained scho- lastic achievement and have become proficient in all phases of military science. Pi Tau Pi Sigma ' s projects for the school year include pre- liminary instruction for the Juniors prior to summer camp, organization of interesting displays in the R.O.T.C. Department for Parent ' s Day, and any other services the fraternity could perform for the advancement of miltary science on the Wor- cester Tech campus.

Formed in the spring of 1961 as Rho Kappa chapter, the honor society selects its members from the Masque workers who have shown unusual ability and ambition in further- ing the cause of dramatics here at Tech. Membership in A X VQ is awarded not only to those who have excelled in acting, but also the behind the scenes men who, by their work in the business and stage departments, form the backbone of the organ- ization. A FQ provides a sorely-needed extra incentive for those who are interested in dramatics. Because Tech is an engineering school, activities of this sort do not find a natural reservoir of talent as in ' a liberal arts college. Thus A Q has its work cut out for it: to raise the standards of dramatics here at Tech and provide an incentive for the Masque workers by inspiring them to membership in the society.

The knowledge that you acquire in your college experi- ence and your ability to master and utilize that knowledge creatively is, of course, central to the purpose of education for a successful career. But beyond this lies the human problems which are inherent in all of life ' s pursuits — the experiences of working cooperatively and in harmony with others toward common objectives, the understanding of human relationships, and training in leadership. These are some of the values which you gain in your fraternity and extracurricular activities. I am sure you will find that your fraternal association will greatly enrich your educational career and that it will be an experience which will help you to grow professionally. The friendships which you make here will mean a great deal to you later in your social and business life. It is an experience which you will always cherish. Fraternity living can be an extremely gratifying experience. Liv- ing with companionable brothers can give a student experience in human relations, which can shape his outlook on life in the future. The fraternity man has an opportunity to learn sharing and to practice concern for others traits which certainly contribute to the full develop- ment of the individual. On the more practical side, fraternity living can help to develop a se nse of responsibility. Each man in the group must do his part, whether it be in administering the fraternity, helping his brothers, or just living by the rules of the house. In one sense, a fraternity may be looked upon as a small business; accounts must be kept, rules must be made and upheld, maintenance must be continuous, and budgets must be maintained. There are ample opportunities in these areas for the brothers to first-hand experience. All in all, fraternities offer a student the opportunity to develop himself morally, to develop a more fully-rounded personality, and to develop within him a sense of responsibility which is important to the success of group living. ERNEST W. HOLLOWS Assistitnt Dean of Students 168 By urging their members to participate in extracurricular activities, fraternities can make significant contributions to the development of the personalities of their members. Ideally, a man ' s academic development should be proportional to and concurrent with his social development. One-sidedness in anything is unfortunate, and a one-sided personality is particularly undesirable. Fraternities perform an invaluable service to students by encourag- ing them to participate in various kinds of activities. One important advantage to be gained from being in an organization is that of learning how to appreciate someone else ' s viewpoint. The planning and execution of programs can bring much satisfaction and can develop within the student a sense of cooperation for a common goal. While in college students should broaden their interests as well as their minds. By encouraging their members to seek out activities which stimulate them, fraternities help students embrace new interests or deepen old interests. Because fraternities themselves are organizations, the members realize the value of a group of individuals working for the common good. By seeing to it that their members join in activities, fraternities contribute to the support of the various organizations and at the same time help to develop their individual brothers physically and morally. DONALD G. DOWNING Dean of Students r ms smmm? m m CLAUDE K. SCHEIFLEY Interjraternity Council Chairman It goes without saying that colleges exist to provide their students with an education, and it should be obvious that the largest number of students possible succeed in their quest. On a campus such as Tech ' s where about 70% of the students belong to Greek letter organizations, the fraternities can be extremely helpful in achieving the goal of a successful scholastic career for every student. The college itself encourages scholastic competition with a gen- erous array of money prizes awarded annually to fraternities. This is something that very few colleges can match. Not only is there a first and second prize for scholastic excellence, but also a generous Improve- ment Prize awarded to the fraternity showing the greatest improvement over the preceding year. But a system of prizes, however lavish, could accomplish little if there were not a will on the part of the fraternities to help on the individual level. That the fraternities take this matter seriously is proved by the existence of an entire system of enforced quiet hours, penalties for infractions of study rules, tutoring sessions, and awards for achievement and improvement by individuals. Not yet satisfied, the fraternities are at present considering cooperative efforts in setting up a counseling system for the benefit of those who are having difficulty with their studies. We are looking forward to the development of these plans in the coming years. 169 Graduating Seniors Peter Albertini Robert Clark Philip Doucette David Goodman Philip Keenan Anthony Lockwood David Luoma William MacDonald John Matson Steven Osterling Harry Rapelje John Rupprecht Eric Sellevold William Shepherd The last four years have been spent in development for the seniors at Pi Iota and much of the knowledge acquired came from being associated with the brothers at 99 Salisbury St. This year ' s senior class has much to remember as the brothers go their separate ways leaving the reports, all night cramming sessions and exam taking behind.

Remember the pledge party and our fantastic dates? But then we were stomped on until March when we finally made the grade and were revived at Thompson ' s Steak House. Next fall, we began to assume responsibilities with work parties, wait-ons, rushing, and later, house officers. Mostly, however, the men of ' 62 remember the good times at Lakeside Lodge . . . canoei ng on the Concord River . . . the Spotlighters and the Jazz Doctors . . . and much more. There were sports also, such as football in the park, elbow bending at the Val , and lion hunting. But the brothers must have taken time out to pull a few all- nighters, since we ranked first in scholarship for two years. Here is the wish that we continue to distinguish ourselves in the coming years and bring honors to our school and our fraternity. 172 Sealed: J. Parnell, B. Fernandez, R. Forticr, P. Schuster, R.

' ■ ■ ' .. ■ ■ After Theta Chi ' s seniors graduate, they will think back upon their years at Tech and many thoughts will come into mind. Among those most vivid will be ones of their fraternity. Some will remember the unpleasantries of the last minute crams and all nighters, and the worth it all feeling and accomplishment when that exam came back with a good grade on it. To others, it will be the social life from the formal week- ends, to the twisting parties, to the bull sessions on the hump. And to some it will be the intrafraternity competition and the coming out on top and winning both the General Excellence and Scholarship awards. But common to all memories will be those of the brotherhood that is dear to us all. Those that are graduating are leaving Worcester Tech but not Theta Chi. They will always be with us and we forever with them. None of the good times nor advancement could have been accomplished without their dedication and leadership. It is through their fine examples and training that the undetgraduate brothers will achieve the ideals of Theta Chi. 176 Seated: B. Larsen, D. Gendron, E. Platow, J. MacFarlanc, J. Baldasaro, W.

In these four years, these men have all proven themselves both to the brotherhood and the rest of the campus. They have overcome seemingly enormous obstacles and experienced varying degrees of success. It is a certainty that they all will never glance at their pledge paddle or fraternity badge without reminiscing over their under- graduate days at WPI. Who could forget the Champagne Parties — Peter — How Jack loves Mac ' s food ... — The summer parties in Wethers- field — The Hi A ' s broken straw hat — The scholarship awards — Harry ' s house bills — Friday nite stags — Foxie and Michaelob — IF bowling trophies — Cass ' s trips to Springfield — The afternoons at Coe ' s — TAP-TAP for The Aimes — To the Bridge, Casey, and Playland — House meetings — Brother When Man?? — Lay Lee ' s Laundry — and most of all BROTH- ERHOOD, in LAMBDA CHI ALPHA.

With the house restored to functional normalcy, the Brothers began the rigorous routines of studies, rushing, and I.F. Sports. Results . . . Success! — Scholarship Improvement Award — first place tie in volleyball — 20 enthusiastic pledges — unique Homecoming Display which served as a conversation piece, if nothing else, around the traditional punchbowl — an atmosphere not unlike the proverbial Christmas Eve quietude, brought about by the institution of study hours — an I.F. Weekend comprised of such gala events as a P.J. Party, a Champagne Party, and other unforgetable events — an orphan Christmas Party which pro- vided equal entertainment for both tots and Brethren. As you can see it ' s been an all around year. In closing, the underclassmen take pride in thanking and congratulating the graduating seniors for the fine work they have done for the House and the Institute. We wish them the best of luck in coming years and hope they will never lose their Phi Sig spirit. 180 Seated: B. Bruncll, B. West. D. Sipnori, J. Parker, B. Weite, M. Soja. Second Rou: W. Howe, J.

Smokers and weekend rushing started with a bang and promised not to end until November. Home- coming with a giant coocoo bird, IF weekend at Gramp ' s farm, the snows of December, all played their part. After what seemed an eternity spring arrived and the scene shifted to gatherings and cat calls on the front porch. Junior Prom was followed by another set of finals, and then — summer Next year things will be different. There will be an empty chair on the front porch, a closed book on a lighted desk, and most of all a part of Sigma Phi Epsilon — the class of ' 62 — will be missing. Those of us left behind wish the best of everything to the graduating seniors with a reminder that someplace in a city named Worcester there is a grey house on a corner — a fraternity — a brotherhood of which they will always be a part.

Some will be serious, while others will be light, but none will be lost with the passing of time. Some will remember the big events, while others will remember the lesser ones. During the past year there were many of these events which will be proudly remembered. Many long memories will remain of such events as the faculty champagne party honoring Professor Bill Grogan as national president, the most successful Homecom- ing we ever had, the Calypso party, I.F. Weekend, Paul the chef and his Tri-nationality feast, and the Junior Prom. This, however is just one part of the story. There were also the more serious occasions. We had our proud moments as many of our brothers distinguished themselves in various fields of endeavor. Many of their names are enscribed on the rolls of Tau Beta Pi, the Skull, and Who ' s Who. We had our tense moments during the rushing season, but all was successful in the end under the leadership of Welchie . These graduates and their achievements will linger in our minds for a long time to come. The spirit of their contribution to our small society is in keeping with a proud heritage, the heritage of being a Kap. 184 Seated: M. Oliver, J. Valie, D. McAffrcy. G. Dionnc, R. Kennedy, R.

But for all time to come, this year will be an unforgettable one. The many events that transpired will linger with us for the rest of our lives. The thought of returning in September is no more, but reminiscing, one recalls the many experiences witnessed during the year — the first party of the social season, learning the twist and then getting up the next morning with a pain in your side that you can ' t seem to explain. After a few short weeks, Homecoming, and then I.F. were here and gone. When the new pledges came to the house you could see yourself in their places only a few years ago. Then there were finals and registering for your last semester. And those interviews — you thought they would never end. Spring at last and once again J.P. was here. And finally the moment arrives and it ' s Commencement Day, and you ' ve received your degree. Four years have passed; four years filled with many wonderful and varied experiences. But one stands high above the others — fraternity; living and sharing with others. 186 Sealed: H. Rathman, A. Gross. B. Sindcr, M. Friedman, D. Schwaber, L. Feldman. Second Row: G. Guiman, S.

This was the year of the fifth anniversary of our chapter, taking one of the largest pledge classes on campus, and many other events to be long remembered by each brother. Never to be forgotten was the move to our new house at 1 Mass. Ave. and the hours we spent getting things in shape. Fond memories remain of our old house on Mount Einhorn which is now no more. The South Sea party in September commenced our social season for the year, which had its climax with the gay formal weekend of J.P. Scab sessions, all nighters , I.F. sports, house parties, and big bull sessions rounded out a fruitful year. Now our seniors whose efforts have helped to build our chapter stand with their diplomas in one hand and their future in the other. To these graduating brothers, we wish a life-time of success, knowing they will always remain with us in spirit. 188 Seated: J. Lawson, T. Pease, R. Hunt, R. Parzuchowski, S. Erhard. D. Getchcll, C.

It was founded in 1956 and formally recognized by the Institute in 1959. Under its advisor, Harold S. Corey, Assistant Professor in the M. E. Department, Shield has since provided the non-fraternity men living on and off campus with the opportunity to participate in various athletic and social activities. Shield is a flexible organization, a fact which allows it to change with the needs of its members. Social activities are provided at various times throughout the school year and during social weekends. Shield ' s major responsibility remains in the provision of the opportunity for the non-fraternity student to participate in inter-fraternity sports. This program has been successful in the past and will probably always remain as Shield ' s chief activity. INTERFRATERNITY General Excellence Trophy Track M In order to enhance the spirit of the fraternity rivalry here at Tech, each year the Interfraternity Council, under the guidance of Professor Claude K. Scheifley and the Athletic Department, sponsor a series of competitions. The fields of competition range from ping-pong to scholarship. As part of t he I.F. sport compettiion, the various fraternities and Shield compete in Softball, basketball, bowling, ping- pong, swimming and track. The fraternity which scores the highset number of points in all these sports receives the Sports Trophy. During a fall assembly, the fraternities which show the highest scholastic average, and which show the greatest improvement in scholarship are honored. Probably most coveted of all the awards is the Presi- dent ' s Trophy for General Excellence. Possession of this trophy is awarded for one year, to the house which shows the greatest achievement in both scholarship and participation in extra-curricular activities. Scor- ing is done on a weighted-point system which allows a comparison between scholarship and activities. The winner of the Pi Delt songfest, held on Par- ents Day in May each year receives the Songfest Trophy and holds it for one year. The Interfraternity Competition is a valuable addition to the social system of the Tech campus. , Swimming Bowl ing COMPETITION Sports Trophy Volleyball Basketball Songfest Trophy i fvf ■ J m. i ,V f3 v fe  «. ,.■ ra 4 .-to ¥  . 5 ' f.« . ■ r JU ' . t? ■ ■ . v - ..

Castel- lani, R. Cahill, D. Signori, Forty-nine years ago, in 1913, the Tech Senate came into being. It ' s purpose was to further the interests of the student body. In seeking these interests, the benefit of the Institute has been of prime importance. There are nine elected members on the Senate, which in- clude two representatives from each class and a president who is elected by the student body in the Spring. Other members include the class presidents, the Speaker of the Council of Presidents, the President of the Student Service Council, and the faculty advisor — Professor Harry B. Feldman, who the Senate thanks for his guidance in the past year. Among the duties of the Senate is the Election of Seniors to Who ' s Who. In the spring the Tech Senate annually spon- sors Parents ' Day, giving the student an opportunity to show his parents the facilities of the Institute. Each department, through their own honor societies, displays items of interest presents lectures, and conducts tours. Along with their other duties, the Senate also arranges the assembly schedule. The Senate Awards are presented in the Spring to a selected few of the seniors who have made a significant contribution to their Alma Mater. Weekly meetings are held at which the Senate discusses and recommends policies affecting campus activities. Commit- tees are formed to do additional work on problems needing detailed consideration and consultation with the Deans. Promi- nent on the agenda this year was constitution revision and modi- fication of the Freshmen Rules. The Tech Senate has made every attempt during this past year to work for the interest of the students, and it is believed that this aim has been satisfactorily attained.

The Tech Student Government is of a bi-cameral nature, with the Tech Council being composed of the Senate and the Council of Presidents. The primary function of the Council, whose members represent every recognized campus organiza- tion, is to appropriate a budget and to co-ordinate the functions of its member organizations. From the membership of the Council of Presidents, a speaker and a secretary-treasurer are chosen. The speaker also serves as an ex-officio member of the Tech Senate. During the past year, Paul Sharon acted as the speaker, while John Mc- Donnell and Professor Corey were the secretary-treasurer and the faculty member, respectively. Also, another of the Coun- cils responsibilities is presenting the list of nominees for Who ' s Who to the Tech Senate for their final selection. The enforcement of the athletic eligibility code and the freshman orientation program are other areas of responsibility for the Council. In the past the Council of Presidents had received its finances from the student activity tax; but since this has been incorporated into the tuition, the Council is given a budget similar to that of the academic Dept.

The S.S.C. was first originated in 1891 as the Student Christian Association and existed to 1956 as a cabinet made up of representatives of each of the nine fraternities and one from Shield . Through the years, the S.C.A. assumed more responsibility and in 1956, the Cabinet changed its name to the Student Service Council. The school year of 1957-1958 saw the incorporation of the S.S.C. into the Tech Senate. Members are now elected, three from each class, by class vote. Through the efforts of the S.S.C. the Tech Bible and Tech Blotter are made available to every student. Under the tutelage of the S.S.C. the Tech Carnival is also produced, as well as an activities calendar and all charity drives on campus. The purpose of the Student Service Council, the oldest stu- dent organization on the hill, is to serve men of W.P.I. , re- gardless of creed, in every possible, helpful, and practical way ... W.P.I.

Wilbur, Professor Scheif- ley, Chairman. Standing: B. Simmon, D. Kili- kewich, K. Cotter, R. Mcintosh, E. Sellevold, E. Brabazon. The Interfraternity Council seeks to bring together each fraternity in a friendly atmosphere and to thus promote inter- fraternity cooperation. The I.F. Summer Rush Booklet and cooperative plans for buying oil and milk with large individual savings are only two of the practical benefits of this organiza- tion. One of the more important functions of the Council is the setting up, interpretation, and implementation of rushing rules. The cooperation thus afforded has resulted in an unusual- ly above-board rushing system which has consistently been carried out in the best interests of all concerned. Certainly the most enjoyable of Council-sponsored activi- ties is the yearly I.F. Ball. This year, under the chairmanship of Eric Sellevold and Stan Wilbur, the I.F.C. presented Mid- night in Venice. The music of Herbie Wayne and beautifully decorated Alden Memorial, complete with sparkling fountain, combined to make this year ' s I.F. Ball one of the most widely enjoyed social events of the year. Yea, and its made outa solid metal! You pinch my cheek once more and I ' ll . . . 195 PEDDLER Front Roti ' .- J. Velezis, K. Backer, P.

McDonnell Editor-in-chief The arrival of the school year ushered in another season of blood, sweat and tears for the members of the Peddler Staff, as both veterans and newcomers converged on the little cubby- hole in Sanford Riley Hall to begin anew the battle to somehow produce, before June, the book you are now holding. Upper- most in everyone ' s mind was the question of whether or not the first deadline could be met. When it was met and conquered, Editor-in-Chief John McDonnell ' s blood pressure dropped once gain to a healthy level, and everyone set out to beat the next one. The Copy Staff was soon at work, snooping into the pri- vate lives of the various Tech organizations to see how they operate. After careful research, they came to the conclusion that the slowest-moving group on the campus was the Copy Staff of the Peddler. The Ad Staff was busy too, taking to the highways and by-ways, securing advertisements for the Ad Section of the book. With pen and ruler in hand, the Make-up Staff set out to bring order from the ruin of foggy pictures, mis- placed art work, and general inefficiency which flooded the tables and accumulated in dark corners of the office. Finally, after months of back-breaking labor, followed by even longer periods of loafing, the last word was typed, the last pictured was tri mmed, and the final panic was over. Once again the staff had come through the crisis, and the justifiably proud men sent forth the 1962 Peddler to join the ranks of history at W.P.I. 196 Late hours for Boh and Bootchie. Robert E.

Never controversial, but always informative. Tech ' s weekly newspaper covers important campus activities and sports events with a unique flair. Publication begins early in the week with the News Editors busily searching for campus news worthy of publication. Articles are decided on and assigned to reporters who must seek out all the facts and write it up in journalistic form. Towards the end of the week the stories are funneled into the TECH NEWS office to be edited. Sunday the office buzzes with activity of make-up. When completion of the make-up satisfies the staff, the paper is ready to ' put to bed. ' The printer returns the paper on Wednesday in form, ready for distribution to some 2000 subscribers.

A major activity of the Varsity Club is running of a library where financially dependent athletes may obtain their text- books; this generous service is run financially independent of the Institute. Funds for the library and its other activities are raised solely through its own initiative. The Annual Fall Sports Dance, which starts Worcester Tech ' s Fall social season, is also sponsored by the Sweater-men. .Proceeds from this dance are one of the ways the club raises funds. At the football and basketball games, the announcers and men in the concessions are members of the Varsity Club. In these ways the Letter-winners help athletics at Tech. Trying to stimulate school spirit and athletic participation of the student body, each year at the Spring Sports Banquet, the Club presents a plaque to the Best Athlete of the Year.

The first is a one act play presented in the fall strictly for the students and faculty of the school. This fall was witness to a comedy by Booth Tarkington, The Trysting Place . In addition to this one act play the Masque also puts on a three act presentation in the Spring. Last spring Alden ' s stage was transformed into the home (along with a Renoir ) of a famous art collector, as The Reclining Figure was portrayed before an enthusias- tic audience. The Masque offers opportunities not only in the acting field, but also in the business and staging facets which play an equally important part in the success of Masque. Recognition for ourstanding contributions to Masque lies in initiation into Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary drama society, and in the presentation of a Masque Key to any mem- ber who accumulates eighty Masque activity points in his years at Tech. What sort of manifes- tation of immaturity is this?

Impressive half time formations boost morale and add color to the Satur- day skirmishes.

Coincident with this increase is the salient improvement of the quality of the organi- zation ' s work. This improvement can be attributed primarily to the freshman members, who have provided the Club ' s director, Mr. Henry Hokans, with a bass section that gives the club the depth of tone it had been lacking in previous years. Included in the group ' s schedule this year were four for- mal concerts. Two of these were held during the Christmas season at W.P.I, and Leslie College, and a third was held at neighboring Clark University in the spring. Perhaps the high point of the year was the organization ' s trip to Burlington, Vermont for a competive sing with approximately forty other schools. Throughout the season several informal concerts were held with women ' s colleges. At these private concerts the groups first sang to one another and then sang jointly. The singing was followed by a mixer at which the members of both clubs became better acquainted. BOYNTONIANS Sitting: R. Wilson, E. Pyle, R. Herrick, D. Lyons, J. Freedman. Standing: K. Krikorian, D. Gendron, R. Pueschel, F. Gesswein, B, Larsen, B. Maccabee. Another successful year has drawn to a close for Wor- cester Tech ' s popular dance orchestra, The Boyntonians. These young musicians, under the able direction of Ralph Herrick, combine their talents to perform for school dances, and many other school socials. The highlight of the year is the Home- coming Dance. Here they play at their best for the alumni who remember the Boyntonians in their own day. Here ' s hats off to the group, who through their various other engagements, have served as one of Tech ' s best adver- tisements. Observers on Atwater Kent ' s third floor hear a stream of squeeks, squawks, and buzzes pouring out of a small room in the northeast corner. Inside this closet-like chamber sparks fly, and tubes glow red, as operators of Ham Station W1YK attempt to talk to friends back home and stations in exotic countries across the seas. Activities of this group include conducting Morse Code and radio theory classes, junkets to the WBZ-TV station and to the Bell Telephone Company, and Field Day, where mem- bers set up and operated a station in the wilds of Paxton. Attendance at monthly meetings was high this year, and it is expected that the club will continue its success in the coming years. First Row: W. Kaszeta, P. Burkott, D. Cooley, J. St. Germain, E.

Bathgate. During the last few years, the W.P.I. Rifle Club, which includes the Varsity Rifle Team, has been growing steadily in both number and prestige. This club, affiliated with the Na- tional Rifle Association, is sponsored by Tech ' s R.O.T.C. De- partment. Colonel Cowan is the club advisor and the officers include President Dave Stone and Vice-President David Beaber. The Varsity Rifle Team, led by Sargant Yopchick, is composed of fifteen marksmen who have made an impressive record in the New England Collegiate Rifle League. These men headed by team Captain John Eric Gulliksen include both experienced riflemen and some sharpshooting freshmen which predicts success not only this year but in years to come. The Nautical Club offers much pleasure and fulfillment through competitive racing or just a peaceful cruise around Lake Quinsigamond. Fall and spring feature active competi- tion with the finest sailing teams in New England. This fall, the Tech team won the Donaghy Bowl Regatta at Lake Quin- sigamond, thus qualifying for the coveted shell trophy. In addition to racing, the club features programs in instruction for members. This training is carried out not only during the fall and spring, but also during the winter. Of course the club does not limit the use of its boats for competitive sailing, but spends much time cruising in leisurely fashion the peace- ful waters of Lake Quinsigamond. mm First Row: R.

NAUTICAL CLUB Bi-weekly the members of the debating club, well known on campus for their intellectual prowess and competitive spirit, assemble in the Janet Earle Room. Their activities range from faculty talks on debating techniques to practice debates amongst themselves on this year ' s topic; That Labor Organi- zations Should Be Under the Jurisdiction of Anti-trust Legis- lation. At these sessions the men acquire fluentcy on the topic as well as a resevoir of information concerning its pros and cons. Their accomplishments at R.P.I, in the fall, as well as at N.Y.U. and B.U. during the springtime have more than dis- played true Tech scholarship. DEBATING CLUB Seated: E. Scherer, R. Behn, P.

AUTO CLUB Without the Tech Auto Club, organized in 1954, many automotively inclined students at W.P.I, wouldn ' t have had as rich a college experience. Because of the efforts of Professor Fred Webster the TA.C. ' s rang a very successful and well at- tended rally in January along with regular meetings featuring speakers and films. At present the Club is engaged in an automotive safety program and also has purchased two Go-Karts which they race at Hubbartston. Because of the enthusiasm of the underclassmen this year the club should be even more successful than in past years. 205 PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP W. Goodwin, A. Goodman, R. Flood, R. Peuschel. The Protestant Christian Fellowship is the student organi- zation dedicated to uniting our Protestant men through in- telligent discussion and common devotion. Toward achieving these ends, the P.C.F. has, throughout the past year, sponsored several functions that have had great appeal to the interested Christians of Tech. Along with having the Reverend Joseph Axenroth on campus weekly for student consultation, the P.C.F. provides daily chapel services in the Janet Earle Room of Alden Memorial Auditorium. The scope of the P.C.F. has, in the past year, been greatly enlarged by association with other college Christian groups in the area. The Newman Club, an affiiliate of the National Associa- tion of Newman Clubs, has been active on the Tech campus since 1914. The organization, composed of Catholic students, meets monthly to discuss topks dealing with religion and its place in the world today. Notable speakers are invited to these meetings to discuss their views on these subjects. Each meeting is followed by a buffet supper. This year several additional social and educational events were co-sponsored with other Newman Clubs of the Worcester area. = T % !• i • IL 10 ? i i. V z i ? f t f. ? m .. Sealed: D. Berube, R.

Pawn, C. Matonis, C. Sever, P. Gaither, J. Stalker, C. Mate. The royal game of chess has gained much attention on the Worcester Tech campus in the five years that the W.P.I. Chess Club has been in existence. In that span of time, many tournaments with other local colleges have been arr anged. These tournaments have provided the better players with the serious competition on which the chess player thrives. The Chess Club also encourages the beginning chess player in that it sponsors matches among the membership during its weekly meetings. These meetings have been held in the Janet Earle room and are open to all students. Seated: S. Wells, A. Andrews, E. Brabazon, A. Bro- deur, A. Dobreski, P. DeCaprio. Standing: D. Gre- goire, H. Forrest, W. Lovig, D. Schwaber, D. Clay- ton. BRIDGE CLUB After last year ' s rebirth of the Bridge Club, all indica- tions point to a fine year at the card tables. With this year ' s freshmen added to last years holdovers the membership has risen to about 50 students. Due to the large area needed to accomodate a group of this size comfortably, the bridge club was allowed to meet in Sanford Riley Commons. The club meets every week on Monday nights, playing rubber bridge. Once a month a duplicate tournament is held to determine who the better players are. Many intercollegiate matches with Clark, Becker and As- sumption were scheduled during the year and the bridge club ' s better players were chosen to represent the school. The engi- neers proved that as far as bridge was concerned they were as good as liberal arts students and as good as the opposite sex. If you are free on Monday nights and don ' t mind being finessed once in a while drop in, a new face is always welcome. 207 The Cosmopolitan Club at Worcester Tech is an organiza- tion to foster good fellowship and friendship among foreign and other students at Worcester Tech. This club provides a meeting place for students and facul- ty discussion of national and international affairs. It also gives the students insight on the various cultures of different coun- tries. The meetings of this organization are held at the homes of Worcester residents; usually those of honorary faculty mem- bers. This year as in the past, the Camera Club has enjoyed an active, interesting, and educational program. With President John Geffken behind the shutter the club effected its annual undertakings such as the spring field-trip, the poster display in Boynton Hall, and the annual photo contest. An intriguing visit to the Alden Hydraulics Laboratory dark room, and a series of talks on such topics as dark room techniques and film preparation served as spicy entrees to the club ' s agenda. The members wish especially to thank Professor Roger R. Borden for his unending devotion to the club as its advisor. Seated: M. Lajoie, J. Geffken, C. Ennis. Second- Row: L. Baginski, B.

Since its inception in 1957, the Arts Society has striven to bring to the students at Tech some of the spirit of liberal culture so lacking in the engineering curriculum. At the pre- sent time, interest among students and faculty alike has risen to an all time high. This interest has been sparked by the an- nouncement that cinemascope pictures may soon be shown at Worcester Tech. Since this will enable recently released movies to be shown, the Arts Society has anticipated an increase in membership of approximately one-hundred per-cent. The present membership numbers well over five hundred. The Worcester Tech Ski Club was founded in I960. The main purpose of the Club is to provide an opportunity to race for those interested in competitive skiing, and the Club was fortunate enough to be accepted as a member on probation in the New England Intercollegiate Ski Conference in our first season. The team took part in 5 races during 1961. Tech is a full member of the Conference this year, and, with the interest shown by the freshman class, a good season is in the making. .in, f 1 ! D.

SKI CLUB vrW ' .Jg £ ■ In Appreciation Looking over the past year, we can only marvel at how, like Phoenix rising from its own ashes, this yearbook has risen out of the mess of pictures, copy, artwork and glue that has filled the Peddler office since September. Only a staff of boundless enthusiasm, imagination and energy could have performed this miracle. I can never thank these men enough; I can only hope that the results of their labors — this yearbook — will seem to them a just reward for their long hours of painstaking, often dull and boring work. Let me particularly thank: Walt Ambler, whose fine make-up sense laid the basis for this book; Mike Rafferty who directed the photography staff with a sure hand, and who was always ready to listen to my troubles; Dave Lyons, who made the second- color and full color pages of this book possible with his work in the advertising section; Terry Furhovden, the man responsible for paying our bills and selling the book; Bob Mcintosh, whose work in handling the thousands of words of copy in this book added a real extra to the Peddler; Phil DeCaprio whose direction and guidance of the art staff provided the fine cartoons in the book; and Chuck Burdick who handled the senior section. I don ' t have space enough to thank individually the underclassmen who so generous gave of their time and energy to make the ' 62 Peddler the best ever. May we also thank Dr. Schwieger, our advisor: always ready to give us a helping hand; Bob Moore, from O ' Toole ' s, he corrected our mistakes, extended our deadlines — if it weren ' t for his patience, we ' d all have high blood pressure now; and LaPorte ' s Studios: their fine work and excellent service made our task much easier. Especially we thank Mr. Al Banx of the Telegram and Gazette, for his cooperation and help. £U- p. ' W uP John J.

PICK THE STEADY GROWTH Right now, your business future lies en- tirely ahead of you. On the curve of your predictable future, there ' s no place to go but up. But project that curve ahead 20 or 30 years; you want it to keep right on going up — steadily. With this end in view, you are probably looking for a future with what you believe is a growth company. This term, however, might be misleading. To evaluate it on a long-term basis, measure this growth against time. Is it too fast for stability? Is it too slow and uncertain for your personal advancement? Or is it steady enough to give you confidence in your own future growth? Here at The Heald Machine Company growth and stability go hand in hand. The machines that we make are used in prac- tically every branch of the entire metal- working industry. Heald is very definitely a growth com- pany—one that has expanded steadily for many years and is now broadening out even more rapidly than ever before. For example, the application of Heald machines to large, AUTOMATED production lines has put us into other than strictly high-precision work — and the machines we are building today are performing operations that were con- sidered out of our field just a few years ago. This growth pattern means excellent oppor- tunities for your progress and advancement, too. And to help you get ahead, Heald offers you one of the most complete and compre- hensive training programs available. All things considered, you can plan on a promising future at Heald. For the full story on what Heald has to offer to graduate engineers, see your placement director, or write to Matthew Stepanski, Industrial Re- lations Director, The Heald Machine Com- pany, Worcester 6, Massachusetts.
