3 1735 038 297 473 Symbolic of his mentality are the hands of man. When the brute learned to use its hands, it became man. And as we look at the hands of the professor, of the artist, of the athlete, we see the man.. each reveals himself in his hands. His motions, his gestures are expressions of himself. When man meets man, hands clasp; a story is told in that meeting of two hands. They can touch limp and cold or they can grip firm and warm. Footsteps sound beneath clasped hands... and they tighten to seal the spirit of Pitt. The footsteps crowd the arch of hands, for they are the steps of many students bound by a common faith.

GILMORE Reorganizing the Law School terms to help his students combine studies with the draft, 2._ and teaching in the'grand manner' of Justice Holmes are both part of the program of the University's Dean Eugene A. Gilmore. Two years ago he came to Pitt with a background of education and law which has been used to maintain the high standing of the Law School and to give his students friendly I counsel and help with their problems. Dr. Gilmore was formerly president of the Uni- i. versity of Iowa, and he has been Secretary of f t Public Instruction and Acting Governor of the Phillipine Islands. The author of numer-._ -_:, ous legal and educational works and member I A of many organizations, he has kept a balance between learning and the social graces. DEAN GILMORE faces a serious problem in Law School enrollment. D OF OTHER SCHOOLS DEAN WILBER I. NEWSTETTER Versatile head of the School of Social Sciences is developing a program for train ing workers in government service. He says he has not yet found a substitute for his hobby in amateur radio, but the many miniature bridges he has constructed seem to show that his interests do run into other fields. Every summer he devotes his time to his boy's camp in Canada. DEAN NEWSTETTER: His field will be more prominent after the war. [ 101 ] HAL" Outstanding in their four year college life for good character, honesty, leadership, and hard work twenty students have earned for themselves recognition in the OWL HALL OF FAME. They know full well the meaning of Benjamin Franklin's bit of philosophy, "Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." Depriving themselves of pleasures and good times, they have devotedly given more than what was demanded of them. Each has made his life worth while. Many students were considered by an authoritative committee composed of three faculty members, three Junior women, and three Junior men before twenty students were finally selected. We hope this honor will be an added incentive to those who won fame, and may they serve as models for ambitious Freshmen.

[105 ] A short time ago, in 1938, we were full of hopes, full of promises, full of ambitions. We were rosy cheeked smiling young men and women wearing green pins and arm bands. We sang "Hail to Pitt" and the "Alma Mater." We were eager and determined. As the semesters rolled on, they tumbled us into the swirl of college life. The traditions of Pitt were our traditions. We studied hard, played wth activities, and were tapped to Cwens and Druids. For the next year and the next, our life made us confident. With this confidence we entered our senior year. Then came that December 7 and we were at war; the world that had encouraged us was now hostile and indifferent. Many of us felt that all we had worked for these years was for nothing. But was all our work for nothing... from the decay all about us don't our opportunities and incentives increase? The tragedy of the times broadens the demands made upon us, for it will take brains and men with the ability to use them to set this human society in order again. Perhaps we are fortunate to be living in an age which gives us the opportunity for the fullest use of our knowledge. We have not engaged in vain pursuits, neither have we lost opportunities nor have we wasted four years. The college life captured on the pages of this Owl is not an end but a beginning of a new and greater life for us. Ours will be a better tomorrow.

Clean white hands that once took notes in class; shined brass buckles, gripped a rifle stock, and whipped sabers from scabbards will take on a new significance. In their place will be waving hands when the greetings and the hurrahs begin; hands that clasp those of a girl in Friendship and love; hands that salute in respect for and loyalty to the nation. These will be strong knuckled hands that squeeze triggers; dig trenches, and drive tanks and planes; hands that will string telephone lines and twist barbed wire; hands that scribble hurried notes from the battlefield. And they will be the hands that work alone in danger, the hands of men who fight courageously and look for no reward. [ 122 ] No one objects to binding an oflicer' sxword (/ith ribbons, but on the day of battle, he will lear away the ornament and present the naked edge to the enemy. [ 123 1 Colonel Edward L. Kelly, P. M. S. & T. Keystone of the arch of national defense is the Reserve Officers Training Corps instituted among colleges to train men for leadership in peace and war. The University's Coast Artillery unit, founded in 1919, is the largest voluntary group in the country. Students are admitted to the Corps after passing a rigid physical examination. In the basic course a cadet attends two classes and one drill period a week while advanced students have five hours a week. Upon graduating, these cadets become 2nd lieutenants in the army reserve. Col. Edward L. Kelly, a West Point graduate, heads the Military Department. He is assisted by Capt. Ramon Dougan of V. P. I. and by Pitt graduates, Lieutenants William Havlak,'34; Donald Campbell,'35; Howard Husband,'35; and Capt. Merlin Wills,'27. Besides its present importance of providing young officers, the R. O. T. C. develops habits of discipline, leadership, and a spirit of patriotism. And even if we have no more wars, the training it offers is amply justified. Captain Merlin V. Wills, Captain Ramon C.

The officers and soldiers of an army are expected to consecrate themselves to their country, to subordinate their personalities, their rights, their privileges, and their opportunities to the good of the nation as a whole.

CADETS... at Fort Monroe From regimental parades on the Cathedral lawn, from dusty drills on Bubbles Field, from home and friends seventy-four advanced R. O. T. C. cadets parked their army foot lockers and set out for six weeks of camp life at Fort Monroe, Virginia. In a sandy camp sprayed by the salt air of the Chesapeake, the future officers along with cadets of five other universities received practical training in various phases of the Coast Artillery branch. However, camp life was not all firing of 12 inch guns, for there were dances, trips, swimming, athletic meets, movies-and KP duties as these pictures will show. An experience they will all remember, the Pitt Cadets came home feeling that an officer's job is a life work of devotion to duty. Cadets were early taught "how to go through the ropes". At the end of the day, Brosky thinks it over. Windows were broken and houses rocked when this 12 in. gun went into action agaWnst targets on the Chesepeake Bay. Captain Wills gets an explanation of the fire from Charge of Quarters, Ed Klein. "When I was in Wee Pants"-Williams and Schwartz in a friendly scrap. Pitt men, Warne and Quick arrive at camp in time to see a fire break out. One factor behind Battery A for having a neat looking street was Sergeant McDonald who cracked down on the boys and made them pull weeds. Pay day at camp meant also pay up.

[ 130 ] Chairman Jack Foley and Betty Ann Crede, wait on the steps for the opening number at the Pitt Rifles' Dance, held in the Twentieth Century Club. Early comers at the dance were Howard Walther and Bill Bardes. Anxious to dance, they waste no time in checking their dates' wraps. Ever willing to exhibit their military skill, the Rifles staged a November drill for the spectators of the Pitt-Fordham game; a few days later they represented the entire R. O. T. C. at the annual Armistice Day parade. Parents night found them aiding in the cere monies at the Cathedral. Not to be outdone socially, the Riflemen danced to the music of Owen Peiper at their annual Little Military Ball held at the 20th Century Club on December 12. Amid shiny brass and flashing blades on dark blue, the Coed-Captain and officers of the Rifles for the coming year were announced. An exhibi tion of fancy gun drill concluded this "com plete military success". At the entrance, Sergeant Hardison distributes favors to the girls. George Chirigos introduces Betty Jane Case to Doe Ferguson, who never misses a University dance. Faculty Advisor, Lt. Husband, meets with actives and dates at intermission. BAND Over one hundred and twenty band members drill regularly to maintain their rating as one of the finest bands in the East. Mr. Arthur and Captain Dougan deserve much of the credit for the band's fine showing. The autumn of 11941 brought to the University of Pittsburgh a new streamlined marching band that ranks with the finest in the land. Vying with our football team for Saturday afternoon honors, the grenadier-clad marching unit, 120 strong, thrilled spectators with a show unique in style and precision. There were the "Anvil Chorus" for Purdue, the huge compass arrow for Duke, and the Piano Concerto for Penn State-all tops in planning, that gave Pitt men broad recognition. The annual trip carried them to Michigan, the reward for all good horn players. To the seated student section the work of the band seemed effortless. But to Captain Dougan, drill master, and to Mr. Arthur, who conceived the original plans, and his expert staff of six arrangers, each afternoon presented individual problems. As the head man expressed it, "Every note played on the field was arranged for that particular occasion." Not to be outdone, the concert band toured the East in the spring with New York City their final stop. A trip to Pennsylvania cities completed this phase of the year's work. Guy Wallace managed the band until called to the colors. Siegal took over from there. All in all, our boys in blue put on quite a musical show. Major Gall and Coed Helen Meyer.

O. T. C.... At intermission they saw Coach Olson tapped along with eleven others to Scabbard and Blade. And at the dance, Chairman Dimel and Co-chairman Harris made known their engagement. They saw the officers pin insignias on their coeds.... In keeping with the tone of the dance, defense stamps were given as favors. The girls kept their programs as momentoes. [ 135 ] To a casual observer, the Pitt Camp us on the one hand is materialistic; on the other, it is picturesque. Away from the smoky industries lining the Pittsburgh river banks, towers the Cathedral of Learning in majestic splendor as "the central symbol of creativeness and of achievement in the Pittsburgh district". Concrete floors, walls of Indiana limestone, and structural steel frames are only a partial description of the campus. Pitt is more than all this. From the cultural viewpoint, the Cathedral stands as a romantic vision surrounded by a campus of colorful sights that is part of the natural beauty found here. The photographs were selected with this in mind. We pass them on to you in hopes that they bear us out. Summer and Spring hold for us a special charm. The air is full of a thousand scents.

Activities are the fingernail polish of the hands of the student body. This year, in spite of an accelerated schedule, they are as bright as ever. Deft hands, grasping pens and pounding typewriters, were constantly busy throughout the school year. Calculating hands figured budgets for dances and other activities. Ink smeared hands made Owl, Panther, and News ready for publication. Trim hands shuffled papers at executive meetings. On the twelfth floor, Samovar faucets were opened, and tea cups filled by slender fingers. Second semester issued a new outlook with knit-a-mitt clubs and Defense stamp drive. And so activities are still the active part of the student hand---the greatest diversion from texts and lectures--- not only for those who go into them deeply, but for those who wear a light pink shade.

EDWARD TAIT Vice President........... CHARLOTTE HARRIS Secretary.................. JULIA DELEO Treasurer.............. HILLARD KREIMER S.F.A. had a triple-header aim this yearto put S.F.A. committees to better administrative use, to plan projects in which all students were included, and "to bring S.F.A. into its own"-that is, to have S.F.A. actually make decisions itself. Roy Ruane, president, later succeeded by Ed Tait, attributed the organization's rise in carrying out this huge assignment to the splendid work of the various committees. Unusually successful this year were the several Pep Assemblies planned by Ed Tablac and his committee which aroused more school spirit than had been seen on the campus for some time. Working also in the'football field' were co-chairmen John Hughes and Harriet Harris and the Demonstration Block Committee under the complete responsibility of the athletic department for the first time this season. The Statistics Committee, headed by Thomas Grogan, compiled accurate student survey data by conducting campus polls on the problems of locker shortage, smoking in the Red Tuck Shop, and dancing in Lilly Court. This committee not only worked along with the Texas Campus Poll, but also opened its data to the various Pitt student publications. Interviewing applicants and recommending the most dependable candidates for the chairmanship of class dances was the job of Al McArdle and the Appointments Committee. Bob Lesko and the Parking Committee studied the problems of providing parking facilities for Pitt drivers; they also worked with the Safety Committee in an attempt to eliminate school safety hazards. [142 ] Arrangements for the annual Tap Day ceremonies were made by the Scholar's Day Committee with Virginia Porter as chairman. Gus Wilde headed the Constitution Revision Committee, and Charles Cusick chairmanned the Social Committee which certified the com pliance with S.F.A. social rules of all campus organizations and sponsored Pitt's first Snow Carnival, as well as Open House at Heinz House. The Book Drive Committee, with Ralph Hines as chairman, proved an especially active temporary committee. Its purpose was to collect books to furnish a library for the boys in camp. Also interested in the soldier boys was the Letter Writing Committee co chairmanned by Mary Bowen and Ed Tait. Looking over this long list of achievements proves convincingly that 1941-42 has been a most active and successful year for S.F.A. PLAYERS IN POLITICS S.F.A.

Vice President........... Secretary......... Treasurer............. A constant flow of ideas for activities men to work on comes from Men's Council, headed this year by Bill Stormer and M. Wendell Dietz. The most publicized and recognized activity was the Book Exchange which was conducted at the beginning of each semester. Many University students obtained textbooks at great savings and have highly praised * WILLIAM STORMER ... HAROLD OAKS ..... JAMES RIAL . WENDELL DEITZ this service of Men's Council. Hard working Bill Rial was in charge of the Exchange this year and produced one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by this feature. The success of the Book Exchange is essential to the plans of Men's Council, for the proceeds are used to finance the Men's Student Loan Fund, another Men's Council sponsored service. [ 144 ] During the past year Men's Council as sisted in the management of the Men's Tuck Shop, until it was closed this spring, and converted into a Men's Lounge. Other events during the year were the Annual Tea Dance and an interesting Hobby Show. Engineer Frank Evans handled the annual Transfer Smoker, held to welcome students from Johnstown and Erie Centers as well as Bill Stormer students from other schools. At present an athletic committee from Men's Council is making plans for student participation in University decisions on athletic policy. HONOR COURT AND BOOK EXCHANGE Kleissas greets incoming Freshmen [ 145] From the North entrance of the campus, students stroll down the 0. D K. walk lined with slender trees that lead to the Cathedral. The scenery at Pill is as varied as the students you meet. beneath the shade of a tree and the shadows of the Cathedral feeling as though we belong to the growing things about us. Those having class on the first floor listen to the birds chatter in the trees besides the windows. Spring on the cam pus is gorgeous, romantic, and vibrant. Thousands of visitors come here each year to view the Cathedral, the Stephen Foster Memorial, Mellon Institute, and the Heinz Memorial Chapel in its beauty of material and workmanship. No less important is the campus itself which inspires us to create and achieve, the source of the value of education and of life.

WOMEN'S SELF GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Women's Self Government Association of the University of Pittsburgh represents a unique government organization among college campuses of the country. It is composed of all women enrolled in the undergraduate schools and is governed by a group selected during spring elections. To unite all the women into an ideal friendship by having a well organized democratic government is the aim of the Association. Its purpose is so all-inclusive and highly specialized that a great many standing committees are needed. To guide the freshmen through their first difficult months the Social Committee gives Freshmen mixer dances, The Traditions Committee sponsors Lantern Night, and the Style Committee teaches how coeds dress at Pitt. Jean Brink, the president, inaugurated a series of style shows. These displays illustrated to the women how to dress inexpensively but beautifully and how to select a wardrobe that will be striking for four years. Elizabeth Foster, Chief Justice, and the Senior Court guide the elections on campus for women's organizations. The Traditions Committee, with Betty Kalish as chairman, sponsored Interclass Sing Day, and the Scholastic Honors Committee, under the guidance of Helen Meyer, fostered student faculty conferences relative to graduate work. These are but a few of the many projects undertaken by the Women's Self Government Association. [146 ] Jean Brink President.................. JEAN BRINK Vice-President........... BERNADETTE BLATT Secretary............... Lois BLOTTER Treasurer............. EVELYN CLEMENTS SENIOR COURT Wandrisco, Blatt, Barbrow, Foster, Brink, Crawford, Nardei. SENIOR COURT Chief Justice Libby Foster strikes her gavel on the table in the twelfth floor conference room at 3:30 every Tuesday, and the judicial branch of the W.S.G.A. meets again. Libby then asks Elinor Barbrow, scribe, to issue invitations to the Fireside Chats which they sponsored. At one of the early meetings Libby announced, "This year we are to act as hostesses at Dr. Bowman's Fireside Chats each Thursday. Tonight we will make plans to serve as clearing house for women's elections in the spring. And we must not forget our annual dinner for Dr. Bowman in the Twentieth Century Club. We have a busy year ahead of us." At this meeting Martha Wandrisco defined to the group the rules concerning freshman women-that the organization merely interprets the rules to the freshmen but never inflicts punishment. Senior Court assists the women students and advises them. With the completion of the discussion the group adjourned to begin a full and successful year. [ 147 ] COLLEGE ASSOCIATION Top Row: Isaacson, Lewis, Buente, Hughes, Cox, Davis, Blotter. Lamb, H. Harris, Sheffler, Milton. President................. ROBERT DAVIS Secretary................. ALICE LEWIS Treasurer................ HARRIET HARRIS Enthusiastic members of the College Association met on the 8th floor under the supervision of Dr. Crouch, faculty advisor, to plan for their coming social events. While Lois Blotter telephoned the Schenley Hotel to make reservation, and Bob Davis, President, contacted the orchestra, Alice Lewis and Harriet Harris debated whether or not the Sadie Hawkins theme was too worn to use for this dance. The Howdy Hop at the Webster Hall, a tea dance on March 4, and the dance on November 15 were only a few of the social events on the C. A. calendar. Because of the hotel strike, the Kick-Off dance scheduled for October 3 was postponed until November 15 and re-named the KickBack dance. This year the C. A.'s biggest task was the reorganization of its constitution. Deciding that the Association was too social and that the constitution did not definitely state the purpose and plans of the organization, the members broadened the program so that each student in the college will feel that he is a part of the association. One of the new features of the association was the accumulation of all data concerning the army, navy, and marine. It listed commissions open to college graduates. This information was collected by the C. A. cabinet members and relayed to the students during special appointments. [ 148 ] DEMONSTRATION BLOCK Brilliant blue and gold capes over the shoulders of some 600 student football fans make Saturdays' games at the stadium a colorful spectacle. Al Icardi, head cheerleader, calls over the P. A. system, "Blue tacks turn gold to the field," and our student body forms a Blue Devil for Duke University. Harriet Harris, chairman of the Demonstration Block, dashes from section to section clarifying directions and supervising displays. Whether it was spelling out Ohio for Ohio State or forming a bugle for Tech, the student body was on its toes cooperating with the cheerleaders, band, and directors. Before the football season was under way, students had been urged to sign up with their fraternity or campus organization section on the ground floor of the Cathedral. But it was on the field that they did their duty cheering our boys on to victory and showing the true Pitt spirit in every game-win or lose. This year for the first time the Demonstration Block was under the direction of the Athletic Department. Profiting by many changes and original ideas, this year's block was one of the best. Mr. Benjamin Grady, faculty advisor, worked out clever yet simple displays which he submitted to the chairman and the cheerleaders. But it was the excellent turn-out of students that made the Demonstration Block a success. Chairman............... HARRIET HARRIS Field Director...............

ROBERT SULLIVAN All is not work with the gift of gab, as a glimpse of the sixteenth floor antics of Men's Debating Association will prove. Breezing in and out of Dr. Lomas' office, wisecracking or serious, one finds a close friendship bred by sincere and honest discussion of world problems, and reaching a peak during the annual debate banquet, held this year on April 9th. This year the opposition crumbled before three irresistible forces-Seyler, Baldrige, and Byer, who wrecked the hopes of many teams. Led by these three, Men's Debating Association chalked up many achievements. On their annual barnstorming trip they often appeared before audiences of 6,000 people--high spots on this year's record were at Penn State, and Lexington, Kentucky. This Grand National Assembly at Kentucky called five Pitt men on a 400 mile jaunt. While the sophomores engaged in a tournament at Westminster, the upperclassmen continued their ambitious schedule with numerous forums and discussions for women's clubs. In December the varsity team handled a huge debate conference of high school debaters held at the Cathedral. Our debaters joined in round table discussion of current questions, fostering closer relations between the city schools. [150 ] EVENING STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION To the hundreds of clerks, school teachers, millworkers, stenographers, and first-year college students who enroll in the Evening Classes of the University of Pittsburgh, the Evening Students' Association serves as a center for University spirit and co-operation. This self-governing council, besides planning a busy social program, has charge of publishing the Pitt Evening News and tapping to the numerous evening honorary fraternities. Inaugurating a year of friendship and activity, the E.S.A. held an Open House Party on October 25. There, amid smooth dancing in the Cathedral Gym and refreshments and group singing in the Tuck Shop, old acquaintances were renewed and new friendships begun. Functioning through Prexy Tom Schofield's plan of naming co-chairmen for each affair, the Association held a Thanksgiving frolic at the Diamond Roller Rink. Beneath the blue and white winter Carnival decorations of Cochairmen Betty Jenny and Charley McAdams the evening students danced to the music of Dale Sommer's Band. The support the Evening Student's Association receives from the students evidences the popularity and esteem it has among them. President.......... THOMAS SCHOFIELD, JR. Vice-President........

WSGA Representative "Something new has been added" to Women's Speech Association in the person of Miss Ruth Haun who acts as faculty advisor to this organization. With her inspiring guidance and President Dorothy Weiner's capable leadership W.S.A. had an eventful year. The girls took part in the Intercollegiate Debate and Discussion Group which is composed of delegates from the University of Pittsburgh, P. C. W., Tech, and Duquesne University. Members of this symposium discussed pertinent current problems such as "What is the Role of the College Student in the National Defense Program?" Intercollegiate debates have been scheduled with various colleges including Penn State, Washington University, and Randolph Macon. S... DOROTHY WEINER V. MARY SARANTOPOULOS A. MARY ANN HORNBECK ...... Lois NEUNDORF The poetry group has sponsored programs with the Women's Choral and Modern Dance. Other members of W.S.A. presented discussion program questions before many of the women's fraternities. They also formed discussion groups for the Pan-American question, which was selected as the topic for a nation-wide collegiate contest. To carry out this varied program there have been dinners and meetings Tuesdays, at 12:30 with President Dorothy Weiner, Vice President Mary Sarantopoulos, Secretary Ann Hornbeck, and W.S.G.A. Rep resentative Lois Neundorf. To their officers and to Miss Haun, their advisor, Women's Speech Association speaks, "May the Voice of the University Women continue in interest, enjoyment, and effectiveness." [152 ] Y. W. C. A. The program of the Y.W.C.A. during the year 1941-42 fitted well with the present war by emphasizing social service. Each committee in the Y had the opportunity to benefit others in some fashion. The Knit-A-Mitt club, led by Jennie Fedak, knitted mittens for needy children. Eleanor Hallock's Personality Development Committee offered advice on grooming to Pitt women through a series of clinics. With desire to spread Pitt goodwill abroad, the girls sold Christmas cards picturing winter scenes of campus buildings. Through seminars, worship services, and retreats, Janet Lincoln and Dottie King gave Pitt students an opportunity for worship and for discussion of religious topics. Eileen Boyd's Public Affairs Committee emphasized peace in its many forums and panel discussions. Lois Miller's membership committee planned dinners; Janet Steeb's Freshman committee presented the inspiring Caritas ceremony. At all of these affairs Evelyn Clements, Chairman of the Social Committee, acted as a gracious hostess and helped create the friendly spirit for which the Y is noted. In all of its activities the Y.W. was led by Mrs. Batz, executive secretary, Virginia Porter, president, and the other officers. Through a spirit of service within the group, Y.W.C.A. helped to foster Christian fellowship on Pitt campus. President.............. VIRGINIA PORTER Vice-President...............

RUDOLPH HOLLOMAN Vice-President......... ANDREW BRETHAUER Secretary.................. JAMES RIAL "We have something to offer everyone on the Pitt campus". With these words Rudy Holloman, genial president of the Young Mens' Christian Association, aptly summed up their year round goal. Before school was even under way in September, the Y. M. C. A. was busily engaged in planning Freshman Camp, now an established institution at Pitt. From social affairs to religious discussions, retreats to Pitt Town meetings, this largest activity on campus includes a concentrated program to fit the student for all phases of life. Bill Hammaker, popular executive secretary, with the help of Herbert Pifer, advised and guided proceedings. Closer contact with Y. W. C. A., a task the boys entered into with spirit, resulted in association nights once a month, a night of speakers and general get-to-gether. And then, of course, the highlight of "Y" fellowship occurred at the National Assembly of Student Christian Associations at Oxford, Ohio. Twenty Blue and Gold members attended the convention from December 27 to January 3. Aggressive, friendly, evermoving Y. M. C. A. can look back upon the past year as one of high accomplishment.

No one worried about deadlines didn't we have a whole year to produce an All-American book? Plans were made, revised, and made again but still remained in the blue print stage. Then the accelerated program was introduced, and the staff members swung into real action. In January and February the pressure was on, and no one failed. Through March it was the editor's turn and again it was an all-out effort. John Brosky insisted on both speed and quality without sacrifice of either one, and he got it.

If novelty is a measure of accomplishment and entertainment, director Whitehill's selection of plays proved quite successful. Things began buzzing early in the season with Yellow Jacket, a Chinese fantasy; shifted into high gear with Flight to the West; and rang down the finale with The Women. As usual, tryouts were thrown open to the entire school and the final casts provided a more than a rare sampling of Pitt talent. Behind the scenes of the finished play went months of planning and reshaping. This task belonged to the technical section of Pitt Players while the business department highpressured tickets and publicized the shows. Between productions, activities such as the Christmas pageant and the program with the Heinz Chapel Choir gave additional experience. The girls also did their part for the boys in camp by presenting The Women at Indiantown Gap. The annual banquet, awarding of keys and Oscars, and farewell handshakes darkened the Players' playhouse for the season. [ 170 ] Rose, Krenn, Barbour, Bard, Anderson, DeMarco.

The cast of THE YELLOW JACKET appear on the stage before a unique Chinese setting THE YELLOW JACKET The Pitt Players opened their 1941-42 season with the delightful Chinese fantasy, The Yellow Jacket, by Hazelton and Benrimo. In line with the Players' policy of producing at least one experimental drama each year, Mr. Whitehill chose this allegorical satire of the Oriental theatre convention. Over makebelieve mountains, across imaginary rivers, through mythical snow storms, Woo Hoo Git (John Reid) made his way in search of his "Chee Mo ascends to Heaven." lost heritage. Fantastic spiders did not daunt him, nor were the temptations of beautiful women in "the flowery paths of pleasant ways" enough to turn him from his quest. The play was comparable to an Oriental Our Town-Alexander Endy played the important role of Chorus, the stage manager and commentator portrayed in the professional theatre by Alexander Woolcott; and Paul Schaugency was the comic, silent property man, played by Harpo Marx in the summer stock. The play was more than amusingly novel, and the Players presented it admirably. "The flowery paths of pleasant ways."

FLIGHT TO THE WEST With a roar of its powerful motors the transAtlantic airliner took off on its- flight from Lisbon to Long Island carrying a load of refugees, newspaper people, diplomats, and foreign agents. Flight to the West was interesting in that all the action of the play took place on board the plane. Elmer Rice's antiNazi propaganda thriller is a difficult assignment for any amateur group, but the Players turned in a well-rounded, near-professional performance. Betty Luck and Larry Morris were cast as the just-married couple escaping from persecution in Nazi Germany. Alexander Endy with a convincing German accent gave "a fine performance in the role of Dr. Walther, "a symbol of the ruthless Nazi ideology. Opposing him in many arguments of principles was Hiram Milton as Mr. Ingraham, an author mirroring our democratic ideals. The whole conflict of beliefs is summed up in Mr. Ingraham's final speech, "... it is the struggle of irrational sanity against rational madness.. and in the end irrational sanity will win". Pitt Players third production, The Women, a three-act comedy written by Clare Booth, brought to a close the 1941-42 season. Aside from the novelty of its involving a large cast of women (no male characters at all), it was an entertaining panorama of our modern metropolitan world from the feminine viewpoint.

Toward this end, Chuck Sarber did his best to sustain the C. &.

Periodic meetings are held at which some current problem is explained by one who has closely studied the subject, and this explanation is followed by an informal discussion among the membership. This year there have been presented at several meetings the phases of the Canadian price control law, effects of the fall coal strike, U.

Membership is open only to men in the School of Business Administration who maintain an average of 1.5 and display superior qualities in the fields of commerce, accounts, and finance. In addition to the collegiate members, there are eight faculty members besides the other alumni who have joined the faculty since graduation. Once each month a speaker, an alumnus, or faculty member, is invited to address the fraternity on some topic of interest to students in the School of Business Administration. One of the most interesting of these talks was delivered by Dean Lanfear at a rushing smoker early in March. Through these talks the boys not only become better informed, but also better acquainted with the alumni and men in the business world. In an attempt to promote scholarship the fraternity annually awards the Alpha Kappa Psi medallion to the junior with the highest scholastic average in the School of Business Administration; it also awards a one hundred dollar scholarship to the most deserving evening student who has completed at least sixty hours. [196] KAPPA PSI The annual formal dance that the Kappa Psi's held at the Hotel Henry proved to be the biggest social event of the year for these student pharmacologists. The affair climaxed a series of social events which included a smoker that was held early in the first semester, a formal dance in January, a reunion dance, and a dinner dance. This professional fraternity, one of the largest in the School of Pharmacy, conducts pharmaceutical research in all of the different prescriptions to show its members the contents of the individual prescriptions. Like true scientists, these students always strive to increase their own knowledge and perhaps benefit the profession to which they aspire. And they are always on the alert to find new means for broadening their scope of knowledge. They borrow the principles they learn in the class room and their observations in the laboratory and apply them to outside projects. Quite often they conduct experiments at their meetings just for the fun of working and observing. All of their actions center around one thought, their chosen field. The Beta Kappa chapter was founded at the University in 1913. It taps to its membership only men ranking in the upper third of the School of Pharmacy. President............. WILLIAM S.

The A.Z.O.'s, who are firmly resolved to promote interest in the field of pharmacy and raise the standards of the profession, discuss new plans at their bi-monthly meetings held at the Hotel Roosevelt. Standing foremost among the fraternity's accomplishments is the support of the Bernard Cohen Memorial Aid Fund which helps any deserving Pharmacy student in financial need. The fraternity is also very proud of their faculty advisor, Dr. David Levin, who was called to the army in early February because of his work in perfecting a lotion for the cure of third degree burns. The members presented him with a portable radio as a farewell gift. The busy A.Z.O. social calendar this year included a Pledge Dance, several dances to celebrate holiday occasions, and the annual spring formal dinner dance. In May the brothers also plan to be hosts to the National Chapter of Alpha Zeta Omega at the National Convention to be held in Pittsburgh this summer.

As stated in the constitution of the Engineering and Mines Association the aims of the cabinet are "to create a closer fellowship among Engineering and Mines students of this University, to provide opportunities for contact with professional and non-professional men, and to add to the social life of the Engineering and Mines School". To these ends, the present officers and members of the Cabinet have dedicated themselves. Fulfillment of all three purposes is attained by sponsoring two smokers and two dances annually which bring together for fun and fellowship the technical students of the University. At present, the creation of an Engineering and Mines lounge where the students can "take things easy" between classes is the goal of the cabinet. A sinking fund for this project was founded several years ago by a farsighted cabinet and the present group expect to see the start of actual work on the lounge. The Association Cabinet is composed of one Senior and one Junior from each of the engineering departments and is the governing body of the Engineering school.

In January, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech chapters cooperated and held the annual banquet with Penn State and the University of West Virginia as guests. National officers attended and awards for outstanding work in electrical engin eering were made. INDUSTRIAL Programs of the Industrial Engineering seminar are designed to give the student not only lectures in his field but also discussions which acquaint him with the problems confronting the world today. Outstanding speakers, among them many leading industrialists, address the seminars and classroom meetings. Frequently they hold seminars in industrial plants and laboratories so that the students may get first hand information. Chairman.............

This year, the Pi Tau Sigma chapters of the University of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Institute of Technology cooperated in holding their National convention here in Pittsburgh. The local chapters initiated sixteen deserving Mechanical Engineers into the fraternity and they were given a royal welcome by the boys. A blue ribbon achievement of the season was the publication of the first edition of the Stoker, the Mechanical Engineering newspaper. For relaxation the boys held bowling parties and topped off their season with a Spring dance for members of Pi Tau Sigma and their friends. Since Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineers are similar, they were combined in one seminar for the first semester. The Seniors and Juniors meet separately from the Sophomores and Freshmen. On the Engineers' social calendar were the annual Senior picnic where Seniors were bidden farewell and the Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering program held at Penn State last spring.

Its members come from the fields of mining, geology, metallurgy, and petroleum engineering. In 1941-42 their program was limited. Because of the war situation and other difficulties the Sigma Gamma Epsilon activities were suspended in January for the rest of the year. The first semester's program included several luncheon meetings, one dinner meeting, and a pledge dance in the fall. The annual Freshmen award of associate membership status and A.I.M.M.E. publication subscriptions, instituted this year, went to Gardner Robinson of the Geology Department. Then S.G.E. played true to its past reputation and dug deeper and found its useful place among the problems of today.

These hands grip one another with the strength of men, for the owners of those hands are men. Across the campus stretch the hands of the fraternity leaders to form a close association with the school. In all their activities the fraternities revolve about the school. To work with the University, to aid it to the extent of their abiliy is the prime aim of fraternities. They bring about a close association between the administrative offices of the University and the student body. On campus the hand of the fraternity man is strong. It evidences itself in printed words of the publications, in the gestures of the Pitt Player... it is a capable and friendly hand. Contribuling within her sphere oJ influence a moral, spiritual, and social development, jraternities display pride in their achievements through the many trophies, won in Interfraternity competition. Panhellenic Council is one reason why women's social fraternities at Pitt are so congenial. This group, consisting of two representatives from each organiza "tion, aims to develop understanding and fellowship between the groups. Early last autumn fraternity women formally entertained the freshmen at the traditional reception. This reception, with its vases of beautiful flowers, and lovely hostesses, held in Stephen Foster Social Room, introduced the freshmen to the spirit of graciousness and dignity associated with the fraternities at Pitt. After a busy period of rushing came the Panhellenic Ball. However, because of early graduation, it was Helen Buente not held this year. Besides cooperation, the council fosters a com petitive spirit between the groups on two occasions, the Interfraternity Sing and the Float Parade. The Sing, held on December 8, was a long awaited event in which Delta Delta Delta took first place and Theta Phi Alpha and Zeta Tau Alpha tied for second place. The Float Parade, coming when trees were budding and fur mittens had been discarded, was one of the high points of Spring Festival Week. President............ HELEN BUENTE Vice President........

MADELYN M/IONTROLL They tell us that the seventy-seven respectable families in the Bellefield Dwellings were just getting used to a normal existence over the summer when-bang! the vacation was over, and all the Alpha Epsilon Phi's came trooping back to their fourth floor apartment. When the twenty-first of October rolled around, all the sophomore sisters got out their pens and paper, sent notices to the alums, and proceeded to hold a Founders' Day celebration. That was the first social function of the year. After Founders' Day was over, activities really started. For it was then that chairman Mildred Rosenfield presented plans for the annual Scholarship bridge on November 9th. Nobody minded the work connected with the affair because the bridge was a big success. From the proceeds of the bridge Alpha Epsilon Phi presented three summer session scholarships-vocal, instrumental, and sculptural-to children selected through the Pittsburgh Board of Education. Orchids and pastel formals came next-the Winter Formal. Then during the Christmas vacation they all let down their hair for a Pajama Party at the sorority apartment. Then came the important business of a successful fall rushing season. Our National Dean, Reba B. Cohen, graced this year's rushing and made it particularly impressive. This year Alpha Epsilon Phi's at Pitt are celebrating their "coming-of-age" birthday. They are twenty-one and quite willing to put in their vote-this time for a lovely-as-ever Spring Formal at Westmoreland Country Club.

Pat Miller and Jean Krafty slipped a few roses from a vase to take home as a keepsake of another wonderful Beta Sig party. [ 216 ] 175 North Dithridge is a brick house with a brown porch. Here Chi Omegas spend every spare minute because they love to get together to chat, as most women do, and because they work together on so many things.

And within the red brick walls was created the beautiful prize-winning crest. Of course a casualty or two caused by an over enthusiastic pair of scissors was immediately remedied by efficient Peggy Lehner.

Joan Bielau and Jane Blair are often responsible for the themes, and spring formals are their specialties. In a more serious vein, the girls do much research in order to choose the most outstanding American woman of the year. At a national tea the chosen woman receives an award. This year they gave the award to Carrie Chapman Catt. Chi Omegas are all interested in personnel work. They show their enthusiasim in their activities and nurture it in their discussion.

ANN BURKE The D Phi E's sat knitting on a fine day in January-but with their thoughts far from Pearl Harbor. The knitting project which they had undertaken in connection with the local Red Cross had resulted in much more than khaki socks and sweaters. The conversation inevitably ran to the spring formal which would climax the week of exams before graduation. Interrupting this discussion, Minna Kamber declared, "As chairman I feel we should have at least a little discussion about Founders' Day even though it isn't until March 17." "I second the motion," Divine chimed in, "for this should by rights be the very biggest event on our calendar since it is our 25th anniversary.' "I think we should present ourselves with a silver loving cup," suggested Blanche Cousin. "After all, 25 years makes us really a great national institution." "The plan is this," continued Minna when everyone had finally settled the importance of the affair to her own satisfaction, "the program we follow during the evening will be identical with that of every other chapter throughout the country. The events will even be timed." "But we don't have to stop our dance when the other chapters call it quits, do we?" asked Pearl Lichtner anxiously. "If you are sufficiently recovered from Masquerade by then we might manage a couple of extra hours, Pearl," Minna assured her. "Oh, we D Phi E's are made of tougher stuff than that. After all the masquerade is in February. It only took me a week to recover from the convention in New York at Christmas time and that ran four days without stopping." "Not to interrupt any profound discussions or anything," said Frances Berez, "but if someone would just help me finish up this last bundle for Britain, we can all call it quits with clear consciences."

Ruthie Yardumian and Harriett Blair never fail to demonstrate correct volleyball technique with a pillow right in the middle of the floor. Some one says, "I'm starved. Let's have supper." And then there is a scramble for the dining room. A calm follows and they sing their own special grace. [220 ] Monday afternoons at the Theta house were quite festive this year. The afternoon set aside for slumber and bull sessions was transformed into a lively party by declaring 'open house'. These were delightfully informal without chairman or planning. Tuck Shoppees found it impossible to refuse an invitation to make themselves at home. Refreshments consisted only of cokes from a shiny new coke machine and occasionally potato chips. Rug cutting was the order with some couples while other guests were content with the inviting open fire in the chapter room. But there were added attractions---a man from a neighboring fraternity spent one whole afternoon making caricatures of anyone who would stand still long enough. The bridge games were usually kept in check by president Jane Anderson who has unexcelled talent in this line. The old stand-by entertainers would always come through-Betty Sapp with her "Can't Get a Date", the trio, Jean Garland doing her bit with the piano, and Nan Crawford's violin solo. The afternoons were ended by outbreaks of songs. Thetas might well be proud of their singing. They boast a number of good clear voices, a wealth of lovely songs, and clever arrangements by the group innovators, Vera Daum and Peggy Coulson. The Kappa Alpha Thetas never closed their door without an invitation to return the next week. Leading all other activities this year, however, was the celebration of the 72nd birthday of the founding of the fraternity. At a luncheon at the P.A.A., Thetas young, and old, far and near, were entertained by the active chapter. Guests at the speakers table received sterling silver pins in remembrance of this great affair. President............... JANE ANDERSON Vice President............

Geniality is the keynote with the girls, and they are well known for their wit and enthusiasm. President Mary Zarman picked from this group many helpers for her Red Cross drive. A diamond studded V might well be given them for their support. Mary Rita Keenan and some of the sisters are beginning to hide from Eleanor Epping, for she's always selling something, and she always gets the best results at this booth. Whether it be Junior Prom tickets, Heart Hop tickets, or Xmas seals... perseverance does the trick. Julia DeLeo finds plenty of use for her place on the bench in getting the lowdown on S.F.A. business. T.P.A.'s do forsake their booth for their dances, teas, and chocolate hours. Almost as much business is handled here as at the New York Stock Exchange. There are plans for parties, cramming for tests, writing of papers, sipping of cokes, and an occasional political discussion. It is truly hard to find a more active place than the Theta Phi Alpha booth in the Tuck Shop. President................ MARY ZARMAN Vice President...........

An over ambitious group of actives with their mothers and alumnae were "thrilled with excitement" when the Chi Chapter officially opened the new Zeta Tau Alpha house on February 22. The house is an object of great pride to all the girls who worked on Saturdays with scrub buckets and aprons. The mothers made the draperies and curtains. Of the new furniture added, the Baby Grand piano was a surprise gift of the Mothers' Club. Mrs. Geneve Clutter became the new house mother. With this as an incentive, the ZTA's set out creating creditable records scholastically and in extracurricular activities. On a Monday afternoon groups of girls sat around knitting, some were playing bridge, while others indulged in talking. In one group this year's head woman, Norma Jean Wilkes, told of the treats of being a part time mother to a group of Freshies. At a bridge table was .......... ORLA LANG Grace Steele, the secretary. Along with the others she was listening to kibitizer and Vice President Norma Lee Koelliker explain why the next issue of the Panther, of which Norma Lee is campus editor, was to be better than ever before. Helen Buente, president of Panhellenic Council discussed activities with Marty Wandrisco, Mortar Board sister and member of Senior Court. In another part of the room, Midge Anderson, Theatron Presi dent, rehearsed her lines for "The Women" while Elaine Beiersdorfer, Nancy Hardy, and Martha Bolar considered tappees for Cwens. As the newly elected Treasurer of W.S.G.A., Elaine manages to do her bit on the Sten ography Staff of the Owl. House dances, parties, and Mother and Daughter banquets made up the year's social program. Thus, with enthusiasm and spirit, the ZTA's have come through to a smashing climax of a great year.

Each era has its typical college girl; each school has its queens. Each year college men think they have found something new in their coed. And we think we have our ideal girl here at Pitt... she is the Pitt Girl. Our girl is not the slink-eyed sophisticate. She is the fresh American girl. She is the girl who wears her cosmetics with the proper dash and seasons her speech with intelligent phrases. She is the versatile girl who enjoys a good football game as well as a dance. Printed words can hardly sketch her; pictures approach more closely a true representation of her. We hope a combination of the two will convey our meaning to you. Who could resist a sales girl like this one? Freshman women gather for a publications unit meeting.

Each month the two representatives from each of the twelve fraternities meet at one of the different Greek Houses, and the Phi Delt house was chosen for the October meeting. After the dinner table had been cleared and the boys had fully digested a delicious dinner, President Richard Mansfield gaveled for order. Minutes of the previous meeting having been read by Secretary Harold Oaks, old business was brought to the floor. After all points were thoroughly discussed, new business was then called for by President Mansfield. A report from the Treasurer Mark Anderson told the members of the financial status of I.F. Council, and read the list of accounts receivable and payable. Alex Zelenski, sports chairman, reported that each house would receive a schedule of athletic contests to be held every week. Carl Stein, Vice-President, and chairman of the executive council, reported that trophies for all of the major sports and trophies for the "sing and swing" had been ordered. Wendell Dietz, publicity chairman, gave a brief report on rushing before the meeting was adjourned. This year I, F. Council again awarded the All-point trophy to Phi Gamma Delta. In December the Greeks held their annual Yuletide Festival at the Hotel Schenley, with Al McArdle as chairman. In February, fraternity men danced to the music of Bob Strong and his orchestra at the I. F. Ball, held in the main ballroom of the Hotel William Penn. This successful dance was chairmanned by Sherman Jubelirer. [ 234 ] Back Row: Match, Heckman, Wilde, Cusick, Lamb, Oaks, Andrews, and Feightner.

President................. JACK STAUFF Vice-President............ DICK GRIFFITHI Treasurer....... In spite of conflicts and a jittery semester, Delta Tau Delta found itself in an enviable position as it ended a successful year as a powerful influence on campus. Although the year was a critical one for fraternities, the Delts speeded up its program and strengthened its aims. The chapter turned in the greatest number of books for soldiers, gave the most money for crippled children, and supported many campus affairs a hundred per cent. Rushing season yielded thirty-three men which led the campus for the second consecutive year. The pledges are very active having Ken Alexander named outstanding pledge and Andy Patterson, President of Interfraternity Pledge Council. Varied extra-curricular interests have drawn the Delts to most of the leading campus activities. Jack Stauff, who served as editor Secretary.............. BILL BEERBOWER Corresponding Secretary........ BILL NEWBURY ...... WALT DICKINSON of the Panther and chairman of many leading committees, was selected as Senior Worthy; John Brosky, editor of the Owl, is a member of O.D.K. and captain of the cross-country team; Dave Naley was successor to Stauff on the Panther; Bill Benghauser, John Stahl and Jim Clowes were on the varsity football team with Bill Beerbower and Ed Cornelius as head managers; Howard Hanna was chair man of Freshman Camp; and Bob Soles was a member of S.F.A. and the swimming team. On the Delt's calendar were numerous dances, sports, parties, dinners, Founders Day Banquet, Mothers' Club dinner, and a Faculty reception. Seniors graduating are Stauff, Brosky, Beerbower, Benghauser, Dick inson, Hanna, Newbury, Sands, Stahl, Sven son, and Swenson. These men know the meaning of fraternity. [238 ] Phi Delts' rushing seasons are usually very successful, and this year proved to be no exception-the boys from Dithridge Street pledged eighteen rushees. This successful rushing can be attributed to the fine tactics of President Bob Feightner, Vice President Bob Crissman, and Pledge-master Ken Defoe. The boys opened their rushing affairs on Monday evening with a smoker, which included movies and a performance by a magician. On Tuesday evening, the boys had Monte Carlo night; Wednesday evening's feature attraction was a theatre party featuring the music of Jimmy Lunceford and his President....... Vice-President.... Secretary.. Treasurer...... orchestra. Thursday evening was sports night, and Friday evening the boys journeyed to South Park for a picnic. The concluding affair was a very successful house dance on Saturday night. Throughout the week the rushees were entertained by varsity football players, Bob Stodgell and Bob Crissman, and Roy Ruane, President of S.F.A. When silence week was over and eighteen rushees answered the Phi Delt call to fraternalism, the boys began laying plans for their next rushing season. ....

For the third consecutive year, the Phi Gams were presented with the I.F. All-Point trophy at the I.F. Ball.

In taking the trophy, the champs won a total of five firsts, two seconds, and three thirds. Their five firsts were gained in the track meet, the swimming meet, the sweepstakes, paddle tennis, and, for the fourth consecutive year, volleyball. Along with these first places, the boys took seconds in golf and speedball, ....... JOHN BITNER S...... WILLIAM CLEMMER .... JWILLIAM CRONEMEYER ...... RICHARD /MANSFIELD and third positions in mushball, basketball, and table tennis. The Phi Gams did not confine their activ ities to athletics, but did their best to make the school social affairs a huge success. Bill Clemmer, member of S.F.A., was chairman of the Junior Prom; and Al McCardle, who is also a member of S.F.A., acted as chairman of the Yuletide Festival. Dick Mansfield, president of I.F. Council and the Engineering school, and Bob Eckhardt, business manager of the I.F. Ball, also helped the Interfraternity Council throughout the year. [240 ] Lambda Chi Alpha lost no time in supporting the Pitt football team as all of the brothers gathered at the chapter house early on the morning of the first football game of the season to go en masse to the stadium. Before leaving the house, after a typical Lambda Chi bull session, the boys filled up with hot chocolate and cookies. As soon as the last cup of chocolate warmed them for the blustery afternoon, the boys were off to the stadium. No sooner at the stadium, and seated, than they began to back the Panther by joining in songs and cheers. Half-time found the Lambda Chi's eating hotdogs and drinking hot coffee and talking over the situation. President............ Vice-President.......... Secretary............. Treasurer............ When the gun sounded ending the game, the boys were so hoarse from yelling that they decided to call it a day and rest their vocal chords for the next game. Lambda Chi's didn't back only the football team, though. Every Pitt Player's show was well supported for Brother Bill Wilson, Presi dent and Business Manager of Players. It was culture and brawn both that appealed to them this year. Not to be omitted is their new chapter home, either. This year found the Lambda Chi Alpha's in a smart new home at the Fairfax Apartments. GEORGE D. BUNDER . FRED E. HASLEY GEORGE R. SHIFLER WILLIAM O.

DAN SENE The Phi Eps think they really have something to put their thumbs in their vests about this year. And looking back over the main events, they seem to have done quite well. They opened the year with a tremendous fall rushing and followed it up with quite a favorable mid-year rush season. In fact the Phi Eps pledged the second largest number of men during the year. And they did their part in keeping up the scholarship average for fraternity men. In spite of the fact that they carried an abundance of credits, the boys managed to end up in second place on fraternity row. In the whirl of social events the Phi Eps were by no means slackers. Dick Barach's excellent planning made their "Gay Nineties Dance" the peak of the year. Mustached actives waltzed their bustled dates from one room to another. And the chapter kissed the boys good-bye at a banquet and spring formal for the seniors. Inevitable at every affair was Stan Barish and his camera taking clever shots. From last year's Owl photography editor, Stan moved up to this year's managing editor. And sport fans relish in sports editor Zelenski's columns in the Pitt News. Just to prove that they are all-around boys the Phi Eps took first place cups in interfraternity touch-football and ping pong. They won first place cups for interfraternity and intramural tennis, as well. [ 242 1 "How do you stand in the draft?" was the question of the year among fraternity men. Several of the boys from the S.A.E. house held low numbers-Prexy Bill Stormer and George Smith first heeded the call of Uncle Sam, and there is a disconcerting rumor around the house that more men are going to be getting up to the bugle instead of the alarm clock in the near future. But in spite of the draft, the S.A.E.'s are gathering no moss as they roll along in activities. On campus Bill Stormer heads Men's Council and drum-major Bob Davis is President of College Association. In Interfraternity bowling, ping pong, and volleyball the boys placed well up in standings. To varsity athletics the Sigs contributed footballers Walt West and Bill Dillon, trackman Dick Wilt, and baseball men Johnny Brown, Jimmy McCullough, and Dave Williams. But all activities aren't carried on outside the classroom and the fellows are justly proud of their scholastic average. House dances are getting more and more popular with the S.A.E.'s and every other Saturday night, if you walk up Bellefield Avenue you can hear Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey swinging out.

LEONARD FUCHS With final examinations a thing of the past, the senior brothers of Phi Kappa donned their formal clothes to join the underclassmen at the annual Phi Kap spring formal. For on this night, the graduating seniors were attending the final big social affair given in their honor by the underclassmen at Chartiers Heights Country Club. All during dinner, Joe Connell, varsity football player and Tom Lamb, member of S.F.A. reminisced with Bob Tyberski and Leonard Fuchs over their college days, while Smitty Charland and Al Fall were busy discussing plans for the future. After dinner was served and the plates taken away, President Bob Cusick gave a farewell message to the seniors, and then dismissed the boys to do as they pleased for the evening. With confetti, balloons, and banners flying all over the ballroom, the brothers and pledges danced until early in the morning, and then after the last goodbyes were exchanged, the seniors bid adieu to Phi Kappa. [ 244 ] Examination time at the Pi Kappa Alpha house finds a sudden change from activities men who are usually engaged in athletics, politics, and student publications to scholars engaged in statistics, chemistry, and literature. Looking in one room we find President Gus Wilde, who devotes his spare time to swimming for the varsity, or else is leading a discussion at S.F.A. meeting, taking time out for an hour or two of cramming in preparation for exams to come. In the next room, Ed Tait, President of S.F.A. and O.D.K. is studying finance notes with Ben Foote, who has just finished tucking away his plans for Spring Festival Week. Jim Dimel, vice president of O.D.K., and cadet-colonel in the R.O.T.C. is busy taking down notes for his final exam before leaving for the army. Upperclassmen aren't the only ones cramming, because it is also the underclassmen's grades which are taken into consideration for the scholarship plaque; therefore it is no wonder that examination time for the PiKA's is serious business.

JEROME FINEGOLD "Out to the Ball--Back for Breakfast!" That's the sign the PiLams hang on their doorknob every weekend. This year their unique thematic house dances filled the gaps between the big events of the University's social calendar. What really kept them busy, though, was helping their brothers make the school dances successful. They started in December when Gerald Isaacson was Business Manager of the Yuletide Festival; and the PiLam choristers brought more glory to the house that night by carrying off runner-up honors in the Interfraternity Sing. In January the boys tied their white ties to help Business Manager Dietz put the Junior Prom in the black-and brushed off their tails again for Chairman Sherman Jubelirer's Pan-American I-F Ball in February. Of course PiLams didn't spend all their time gadding about-they upheld their high standards of scholarship, activities, and athletics. Permanent possession of the Interfraternity Scholarship Award was given to the PiLams, who hung it opposite the scholarship award from their national fraternity. Business Manager Julian Silverman kept the Pitt News on the credit side of the ledger, and Hillard Kreimer balanced the books of both S.F.A. and the Owl. In other circles on campus, Hillard sported an O.D.K. key, and Rex Carl Stein served as Vice-President ot Interfraternity Council. In athletics, the PiLams conquered a double crown in Badminton this year, coming out on top in both the Interfraternity and Intramural leagues as well as several second places in other sports. [ 246 ] Known for years as a scholastic fraternity, the Sigma Chi's are equally as proud of their social affairs, largest of which was their winter formal which they held one week before the Christmas vacation at the Longue Vue Country Club. This annual affair joined with the Phi Delts of Pitt and the Beta Theta Pi's of Tech. These three fraternities, founded together at the University of Miami, meet each year in holding their "Miami Triad Dance." The brothers danced to the music of Rusty Williams and decorations displayed the Coats of Arms of the three fraternities. This year the Sigma Chi's published their own local publication, "The Smoky City Sig", with Rudy Holloman, president of Y.M.C.A., as editor. The boys also proved their worth in athletics when they won the I. F. bowling championship for Mark Anderson, prexy of the house and captain of the bowling team. President...............

The chapter house on Neville Street was decorated as a night club and a sign reading "Club Sammy" was hung out in front of the house. There was a miniature bar in the living room, and the bartender served cokes and cookies to all; there were also "slugs" for the many pinball machines which were scattered throughout the house. Sandwiches were served at tables in the dining room by a few of the pledges serving as waiters. The evening ended in a blaze of glory as chairman Sig Edelman closed "Club Sammy" with the singing of "Fast and Firm", the fraternity song of the Sammies as scrubwomen-pledges began to stack chairs on the table a la Stork Club. [ 248 ] It was "cooperation" this year in the Theta Chi house. But this might be misleading, because the cooperation was not entirely within the house. The major cooperative movement was with the T.P.A.'s. This cooperative spirit was culminated in the Valentine Dance at the house during rush week when the T.P.A.'s entertained rushees and brothersyou can guess who fared the best. Brothers Fitchko and Jones ably upheld Theta Chi on the gridiron, and doubled on the hardwood floor to bring the second place basketball trophy into the house. Dances at the house this year were many and not far between. A dinner party after the Purdue game, a barn dance in November, and a dinner dance for the pledges in February are just a few of the high spots of the social calendar of the year for the Theta Chi boys. Bill Russell was awarded the scholarship key, given each year to the pledge with the highest scholarship average. So it was dances, cooperation, and more dances, with a bit of books wedged in to finish another successful year for boys from Dithridge Street. President................

SCOTTI Debunking all superstition of number thirteen, Alpha Phi Delta organized for boys of Italian decent, was recognized on the Pitt campus as the thirteenth fraternity. It was first planned a year ago, but had to undergo a period of probation, prescribed by Interfraternity Council, during which its members had to show a certain amount of activity in academic and extra-curricular work. Those members who formed the nucleus, that today numbers twenty-two actives are: Paul Cerchiara, Carmen F. Capone, John Chaffo, George Sirianni, and Albert Ceravolo. Alpha Phi Delta holds its business meetings in one of the Cathedral rooms and takes part in all academic, political, and athletic programs offered by the University. Its members could very easily be the cross-section of student life here at Pitt; they belong to numerous honorary fraternities, varsity athletic teams, student publications, the Pitt Band and numerous other non-academic activities.

Cheerful people with emotions that are strong and bouyant make for good companionship and right thinking. And, in this thought lies one of the chief aims of life: learning to live happily with others. All athletes know what this means, for in the great game of sports, one is taught to lead, to follow, to cooperate. If a hundred hands were shown, you would spot the short stumpy hands of a football player and say, he will be able to stand up under criticism; you would point to the imbedded cinders in the knuckles of a track man and say he will compete in a friendly rivalry and be a good loser as well as a good winner; and you will spot hands that grip baseball bats; hands that cut water; and hands that toss a basketball. In all you will know the men who have been taught to join wholeheartedly in living with others. These men who have bodies of perspective, balance, and proportion are a justification and inspiration for the hope of all ages. [ 252 1 In lije, as in athletics, records are broken only by possessing a body fit Jor the demands made on it, and a mind trained to activity and efficiency. [ 253 ] SPORTS AT PITT Team1ing with thrills the past sports year at the University of Pittsburgh was packed with high spots that made Pitt teams the most unpredictable in their history.

Surrounding the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning is found a new type of classroom-the nationality room. The nationality rooms, which were presented to the University of Pittsburgh by the racial groups represented in Western Pennsylvania, interpret and typify the cultures of the people who built them. Taken together the nationality rooms represent what the people of Western Pennsylvania want their children to have in their hearts and mind. The first floor location of the rooms has been deliberately chosen to symbolize the fusing together of these cultures into the modern American educational system found in the Cathedral of Learning. One must see these rooms to understand how this fusion is completed. Nowhere in the world are these nationality rooms duplicated; nowhere under one roof is there anything similar to them.

When a team loses heavily through graduation, the outlook for the following season will not be too bright. When a team has a back-breaking schedule without any open dates or breathers the prospects are even worse. But when a team is faced with both these problems, then the result is almost suicide. The University of Pittsburgh 1941 football team had to overcome both these hurdles and consequently finished their season with a somewhat expected poor record. Defeats were handed the Panthers by Purdue, Michigan, Minnesota, Duke, Ohio State, and Penn State. On the opposite side of the ledger, the Pitt team recorded the names of Nebraska, Fordham, and Carnegie Tech. Outstanding for the Panthers were three seniors each of whom won All-American recognition. These included end Stanley Gervelis, guard Ralph Fife, and left half back Edgar Jones. It was Jones' fine ball carrying plus the aid of his team's defensive work that enabled the Pitt eleven to turn in impressive wins over both Fordham and Nebraska.

[ 257 ] PITT 0-PURDUE 6 From the opening kickoff to the start of the second quarter, Pitt completely dominated the Pitt Purdue football picture with a sustained drive which ended just short of the opponent's goal. Our boys weakened, however, and al lowed Purdue Fullback John Petty to slash through the line from the two yard line for the only score in the second quarter. Pitt fought to get back in the game but to no avail. Jones' frantic passes missed their mark and the Purdue line throttled the vaunted Pitt ground attack. PITT 0--MICHIGAN 40 With Bob Westfall and Tommy Kuzma running rough-shod through the Pitt line, the Wolverine trampled the Panther at Ann Arbor. Fumbles and a poor defense both on the ground and in the air combined with an erratic offense played havoc with the Pitt chances of victory. Stan Gervelis alone shone in defeat and consistently broke into the Michigan backfield. All was not lost however! The Pitt band made a de cided hit with the Michigan fans. PITT 0- MINNESOTA 39 The third game of the season and still Pitt had to score the first touchdown. Jones and Stetler made several nice runs but to no avail. The great Gopher team, probably the best in country, was too much for Pitt's weak defense. Led by Capt. Smith and Higgins, the Gopher backfield men sieved through the Pitt line. Meanwhile, the Gopher line checked every offensive effort of the Panthers. PITT 7--DUKE 27 Rated by football experts as the finest team in the Southern conference, Coach Wallace Wade brought the finest offensive machine of his career to Pittsburgh to meet the already thrice beaten Panthers. Again the outcome was the same as that which had taken place for the past three weeks-a one-sided defeat. Duke presented two very fine backs in Steve Lach and Jap Davis both of whom have received All-American mention. Pitt showed signs of life though and managed to score its first touchdown of the season when fullback Johnny Ross scored on a short line plunge.

What a high sounding word and what a happy ending to a football game. But Pitt couldn't use the word or enjoy the result for the simple reason that the Ohio State Buckeyes came to town and promptly handed the Blue and Gold their fifth straight setback. With "Special Delivery" Jones leading the attack, the Panthers seemed to be quite an improvement over last week, and at one time even seemed to have a fair chance of winning. The Panther bandsmen, too, were completely overshadowed for the first time this year by a smooth working Ohio State unit. PITT 13-FORDHAM 0 Thoroughly aroused by their five defeats and full of contempt for the high praise given the Fordham football team, Pitt scored the upset of the year by removing the Rams from the list of the nation's undefeated by a 13-0 score. For the second consecutive week, Pitt's sen sational halfback, Edgar Jones, sparked the Panther's play with his fine running and de fensive performance. It was Jones' pass inter ception of Blumenstock's pass that clinched the game for Pitt. [ 259] Joltin' Joe Connell skirts left end. PENN STATE 31-PITT 7 Smarting from their two consecutive wins, the unpredictable Panthers lived up to their reputation of uncertainty and completely went to pieces before a concerted Penn State running and passing attack. The Panthers gained one consolation from their defeat, however-the privilege of making the first touchdown. PITT 27-CARNEGIE TECH 0 Old Lady Luck continued to smile down upon the Pitt eleven as they completely overwhelmed a hapless Carnegie Tech team and marked up their third win of the year. From the opening kickoff until the final whistle, the Panthers battered the undermanned Kiltie forward wall and tallied touchdowns in somewhat wholesale fashion. PITT 14--NEBRASKA 7 With the football experts throughout the country still stunned by the 13-0 upset of Fordham, the Pitt Panthers moved into Lincoln, Nebraska, and met a potentially strong Nebraska eleven. When the Pitt team came to Lincoln, they had visions of registeriilg their second win of the season, but it was not until the final few minutes of play that that vision came true. Trailing 7-0 at halftime, the Panthers came back in the third quarter to tally and throw the game into a deadlock. All indications pointed to a 7-7 tie as the game went on, but a certain Edgar Jones had different ideas. The stellar Panther left halfback intercepted a Nebraska pass and raced sixty-five yards for the winning touchdown. Dutton plunges between the end and tackle.

Despite the fact that the Pitt basketeers lost the entire starting lineup from last season's squad that was good enough to be one of the Eastern Representatives at the National Championship Tourney, Panther fans were quite optimistic at the start of this year for an other great team. After all didn't Pitt have such stars as Larry Paffrath, Ed Ziolkowski, Clair Malarkey and Bob Artman returning? They did, but these boys couldn't seem to form a winning combination. Jimmy Egan joined this quartet to form the starting lineup that lost its first three games of the season to Butler, Northwestern and Indiana before finally breaking into the victory column against Cornell at the Stadium. Triumphs over Carnegie Tech and Geneva gave the Golden Panthers an even break a third of the way through the season. Penn State edged Pitt out here to shove the Carlsonites below the.500 mark but a victory over California State Teachers College again gave the Panthers an even split in eight games. Pitt then hit its lowest per formance of the year against West Virginia when the Mountaineers Malarkey tricks his opponent.

Pitt couldn't snap out of its lethargy and Doc Carlson's boys were downed in a return game with Geneva. One of the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season was the blossoming of Larry Paffrath into one of the greatest scorers in Pitt history. The Butler boy tallied 58 field goals and 22 fouls for a total of 138 points in his first ten games Paffrath for an average of 13.8 points per game.

Pitt reached another milestone on the inter collegiate cross-country road this year and on the way discovered a new sophomore star, Bill Curtis, who outran the entire field to take first place against Michigan State. Against the Army at West Point, Curtis brought Pitt's colors past the finish line first with a time of 22:29. His team-mates were not as successful, and the Panthers harriers bowed out with a 20-35 setback. Varsity relaxes in the track house before a big meet.

It's been a cold and tepid year for the track team this season; mostly cold. The schedule read... Boston A. A., Millrose Games, Ohio State, N. Y. Athletic Club, Michigan, and IC4-A. Of these, the Panther squad was able to salvage a win in the Boston meet and the mile relay championship in the Millrose Games. Placing was the best they could do in all of the other races. The mile relay team of Bill Carter, Harold Stickel, Al Peretic, and Bob Smith covered the distance in the winning time of 3:25.5 at the New York Millrose Games and have been "Bu!let" Bill Carter, Harold "Happy" Stickel as sprinters, they come no better. the backbone of the Gold and Blue squad. Men like Doyle Rhoades, Maurice Jessup, Marcus Allies, and Bill Curtis, an outstanding cross-country performer, crossed the finish line ahead of the field or took places in their specific events. Carter and Stickel ran in the 60-yard dashes in addition to running on the mile relay team; Carter, being versatile enough to add the broad jump to his other events, and Stickel, not to be outdone, took part in the low hurdle races this season.

Soon to be ready are Yugoslav, Rumanian, Norwegian, English, French, and Hungarian rooms. In the nationality rooms are taught philosophy, mathe matics, poetry, art, technical, and scientific subjects, but the hope of the builders is that hours spent in these rooms will encourage students and faculty members to interpret the human values of the subject to their own lives. THE IITALIAN ROOM recreates the spirit of the Renaissance with old walnut panelling, red tile floor, and sand-stone fireplace. Venetian glass windows contain leaded glass insignia of the Italian universities. Coach Mitterling wonders: two on, two out, what a spot. This is baseball's senior year at Pitt; four seasons ago the University included the sport in its athletic program. The problem of replacements looms as a large one for Coach Ralph Mitterling. Graduation cut heavily into last year's prize squad which won nine of the twelve games played, taking all but three of the regular members. (Among those missing from the team will be pitcher Bob Malloy who personally accounted for six of the victories, and Eddie Straloski, Ernie Bonelli, and Guy Guadagnino whose .350 and better batting averages did much to make up the Panther attack.) But even greater than the problem of replacements is that caused by the war and the accelerated college program. The annual spring trip through the south has been cancelled. The possibility of extending the baseball season throughout the summer depends entirely on being able to schedule other teams and on having enough players attend the extra session to make up a team. The Pitt baseball picture has all the unsettled aspects of a current affairs map, its only bright spot being a group of exceptionally promising sophomores. A hit right now would mean a lot..

Although they lost heavily through gradua tion, the University of Pittsburgh swimming team presented a strong aggregation, one which was capable of meeting the best in country on an even basis. The Pitt team was completely reorganized as a result of the losses from the 1941 team and had to shift several key men around so as to attain the maximum strength. Heading the list of lettermen upon whom Pitt coach Ben Grady were Herb Cosgrove, Gus Wilde, Joseph Orloff, Martin Kramer, and Albert Samson. Among the early opponents of the Panther mermen were Rider College, Penn State, and With the coming of the 1942 season the University tennis team looked forward to many successes. Last year's squad, with six victories against four defeats, showed a strong, well balanced attack, and most of its players are back this season. However, the draft may force the Panthers to use several newcomers in their lineup. Trimble and Grance, each with six singles and four double victories to their credit in 1941 will return to form the nucleus of the 1942 team. Aiding these players will be Nickeson and Reese, both with two years of experience behind them. Other holdovers, Wynn and Jorden, will round out what promises to be the most balanced Pitt team in recent years. Included among the list of Pitt opponents will be Navy. The Middies will be back with the same team that defeated the Panthers last season. T Captain Cosgrove Ohio State. In their meets with the former two, the Pitt swimmers turned in impressive victories while against the Buckeyes from Ohio State they met defeat. Outstanding for the Panthers this season were three boys, each of whom is a specialist in his field. Captain Herb Cosgrove handled the breast stroke duties, junior Gus Wilde managed the free style chores, and Joe Orloff took part in the relays. In addition to the regular meets held with Franklin & Marshall, Kenyon, Michigan State, and Slippery Rock, the Pitt swimmers participated in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming meet held at Rutgers. innis Team: Nickenson, Reese, Trimble, Grancee, Wynn, Jorden, Norbut, Manager. [ 268 ] The Panther marksmen opened their 1942 season in wobbly fashion but compiled a successful record. They were defeated only by Kansas State, City College of New York, and the University of Cincinnati. These setbacks were more than balanced when the Blue and Gold Riflers finally found themselves and registered six straight wins. Other strong teams which faced the Pitt squad were Virginia Military Institute, Michigan State and Cornell. Highlight of the Pitt campaign were the brilliant performances of Sgt.

Those golfers who saw a con siderable amount of action last season and who are back for another year are Simpson, Kramer, and Butcher. These boys are ex pected to fill the numbers 1, 2, and 3 spots respectively. Chief interest of the Panther linksmen will be centered upon the Eastern Inter-collegiate Golf Association championship.

MORGAN Composed of all the physical education majors, the Physical Education Club has as its purpose the advancement of professionalism in the field of physical education. Under the leadership of president John Stahl, they gather in the Heinz House once a month for informal dinner meetings at which time prominent guest speakers are presented. New ideas into the field of physical education are introduced and current problems are discussed. Affairs just for fun are of greatest importance to these students since recreation is one of their chief aims. The members of the club supplement this, however, by including movies, talks, and discussions in their programs. Some of their outstanding achievements this year have been the "Blackout Dinner" at which time movies of an air raid on England were shown, the Freshman Reception, and the Sport Swing. The latter was a dance held in the Cathedral gymnasium for the honor of the athletes of the University. Perhaps the biggest event held by this club all year is Recognition Night. It is here that the club honors the outstanding junior and senior students in the field of physical education. An innovation this year is the StudentFaculty forum composed of members of the physical education faculty and members elected by each class. The aim of this group is to coordinate student-faculty opinion and also to work out policies for the physical education club. Members of the StudentFaculty forum are: Harriet Harris, John Stahl, seniors; Bernice Kuehner, Norman Fry, juniors; Mary Jane Griffith, Walter Jones, sophomores; Marcella Struzel, Fred Wilmer, freshmen.

The girls recognize that these garmes develop alertness, balance, and poise. If Pitt students can't dance, it's not the fault of W.A.A., for one of the new items on the program of this organization was the biweekly jam sessions in the Cathedral gym. Peggy Brennan, chairman of the Co-Recreation Committee, acted as dance master. But Dolly Acker, the president, claims that the association taught more than dancing. Harriet Harris, intramural sports chairman, had the job of coordinating a tremendous array of tournaments which gave every Pittite the opportunity to enjoy himself, to become adept in a variety of sports and to get his share of exercise. These tournaments, which involved class competition, varied from tennis, directed by Jessie Schutte, and badminton, with Geraldine Rust as chairman, to basketball, lead by Ruth Mendoza, and volley ball, chairmanned by Jane Bolster. And, for still more variety, the sports committee provided tournaments in bowling, with Irene Komorski as head'striker'; in archery, with Florence Levy playing William Tell; in swimming, with Harriet Blair chief splasher; and in riding, with Lucia Zylak holding the reins. Bernice Kuehner had charge of modern dancing classes in which Pittites learned to'swing and sway' gracefully.

One important aim of W.A.A. was better health, and Christine Grote's health committee provided a complete program to help fulfill this aim. It included the Posture and Fashion Clinic in coordination with the Y.W. C.A. and Women's Choral, lectures by Dr. Auleen M. Jamison, and provisions for student relaxation in the gym between exams. Clara Hecht and her membership committee climaxed their fall membership drive with a picnic in South Park. Gizella Linder, historian, kept the scrapbook, and Mary Sarantopoulos publicized all the events of the year, including those arranged by Midge Anderson and her social committee. This committee arranged for "Bal Mystique", traditional W. A. A. party for Freshman women, at which Carl Heinrich had Freshies and Seniors alike "rhumbaing". Also crowded on the social calendar were a barn dance, complete with straw, chickens, and barmaids; a Scavenger Hunt for February Freshmen; a Christmas Party; Snow Party in North Park; a Midsemester Outing at Laurel Ridge; skating and swimming parties; a spring bicycle excursion through Schenley Park, and the annual Installation Banquet.

It is largely set up for individual competition and to have at least one sport in which a girl is interested. Some of the more popular sports sponsored by the woman's physical department are basketball, tennis, archery, badminton, bowling, volleyball, and modern dancing. The department assisted by the W.A.A. also had charge of lawn bowling, ping-pong, shuffle board, and riding. Edna Tarr, director of women's athletic program. There is always a big turnout of enthusiastic basketball players in the Cathedral's spacious gym. In the spring archery is the favorite among the women's sports. The women's athletic program is a broad one; it offers activities for those who do not care for the more strenuous sports. The girls find a pleasant hour of relaxation away from classes playing shuffle board, building pyramids, or just tossing the basketball around. The scene an see "Special I LCationT tilme.

Social life is not separate and apart from the rest of his life at Pitt; rather, the two are joined together like two hands. Swinging as a boy and girl stroll along the 0. D. K. walk. Hands portray the activities at social affairs: delicate hands picking up dainty sandwiches from a round glass platter, strong, masculine hands flicking ashes from a cigarette at a fraternity meeting, capable hands decorating the Main Ballroom with streamers, balloons and posters, limber hands of the orchestra leader directing smooth music, the slender white hands of a girl fastening boutonnierre into her escort's lapel. The hands of the student are continually being trained to create and to build, and in social life they are striving to better the art of social relationship and thus to build the very character of the student himself.

Music was furnished by Leighton Noble and his orchestra with Noble, himself handling the vocals. The girls kept their small sachet dolls, which were given as favors, to remember the swell time they had. As the dance ended, a big barrage of balloons were released from the ceiling, and this marked the end of a perfect evening. [ 283] Chairman Bortz, Brown, Couch, Goodman. Chairman..............

[ 285 ] CHANCELLOR BOWMAN For many months the University has been keyed up for defense, but now it is preparing itself for war. Every student and every faculty member is keenly conscious of the vastness of the problem ahead. Each is aware of the need for a program for protection. Every individual in the university knows that for a successful completion of such a program 7' we must have a unifying force, a leader. And we all turn for this leader to Chancellor Bow man;we feel the warmth of his extended hand. All of us have a quiet faith in the man whose dreams and efforts have built for us the Cathedral of Learning. When we look about us and feel the massive strength of this build ing, we recognize the power of his hand behind it, and we feel secure. When we see the success of his planning, we know that through his guidance we will evolve the program for which we are striving.

RUFUS FITZGERALD Dignified Rufus Henry Fitzgerald, Provost of our University, remarked at a football rally in Soldier's Memorial Hall that school spirit this year was "the best ever". Students be came better acquainted with the Provost this year, for he appeared before them at several University functions. His education at Guil ford College, North Carolina, the University of Tennessee, his work at the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanics College, and his experience at the State Colleges of Iowa and Tennessee have acquainted Provost Fitzgerald with a variety of campuses. He has brought their influences here with him at Pitt. For those not familiar with his work at the University he says, "I work with the deans, with academic standards, and with the per.

Beginning with his student days in our School of Mechanical 1 Engineering, he has advanced, since 1910, from instructor, to professor, to head of the department of Engineering, and finally to his present position. As supervising engineer of the Cathedral, he has helped construct the building that is the very heart of the University. Active in city affairs, he has been on the City Planning Committee, and is, at present, on the Board of Managers of the Juvenile Court. During World War I, Dr. Weber served as a Captain of Engineers and was on the Automotive Committee of the War Industries Board. As an ardent football fan he claims to have been present at every home game since 1904.

HAROLD C. CARLSON. This usedto-be-carrot-top coaches the Pitt basketball quintet as a side from his regular work. In no other teacher can Pitt women find as much consolation as in DR. AULEENE JAMISON, Director of Women Health Service. Pleasant and charming, she often speaks to many groups on "Boy Meets Girl" relationships. If the fish that are caught by red-headed DR. MONT GABBERT of the philosophy department even partially equal him in size, then you can believe his "fish" stories for he is a giant of a man. Hidden behind stacks of schedule cards is efficient J. G. QUICK, Register of the University, who concerns himself with the distribution of blue-prints and the interviewing of prospective scholarship recipients. At registration time he is a busy figure approving deferred payment plans. Author, psychologist, "putterer-around" in his garden at Valencia describes DR. WILLIAM T. ROOT, Dean of the Graduate School, who is kept busy with administrative affairs. On the University staff as a professor of psychology since 1920, Dr. Root became head of the department and worked in the graduate office since 1935. PROFESSOR L. C. McCANDLESS, head of the department of civil engineering and supervisor of the engineering, science, and management defense training courses hardly finds time any more to spin his watch chain and talk to people with his slow frankness. Digging for coal is of vital interest to the head of the Department of Mining Engineering, DR. ROBERT M. BLACK, whose favorite hobby is "work". He has recently completed an article, "In Field Economics". [29] OWL HAND CONTEST WINNERS Early last fall the OWL sponsored a contest... a contest whose aim it was to find Pitt's most photogenic hands. Mr. Walter R. Hovey, Mr. Reid Hastie and Miss Eleanor Mitchell, members of the Art Department, judged the contest. And the judges looked for all types of hands... thin hands, fat hands, hands that were rough and expressive, hands that were delicate, beautiful hands, and hands that were beautiful in their ugliness. All through the book you have seen hands as the motif for pages introducing main sections. It was the hands of the contest winners that you saw, and we want to express our thanks here to the following owners of those hands: Classes......................... Robert X. Graham Military.......................... Allan Briney ! James Patterson Organizations................... J Mary Hunter Mary Hunter Fraternities.......................Vince Antonelli Athletics J Social Life...................... JViola Boydjieffrson I Viola Boydjieff [ 324 ] OUR APPRECIATION With the declaration of war this thirty-seventh volume of the Owl had to undergo a complete change. To present a true picture of University activities during 1942 this change was necessary. The adoption of the tri-semester plan forced on us the great task of producing the Owl in a shorter time. We are gratified to those kind friends who cooperated with us in offering suggestions for style and substance. We are happy to acknowledge their goodwill and encouragement. Our great desire is to see this Owl, in passing from hand to hand, give pleasure and enjoyment in the years to come. JOHN G. BROSKY, Editor Chancellor John G.

DR. THEODORE M. FINNEY-Professor of Music Appreciation, is better known as "Pop" to his students. A composer and the editor of the Bulletin of Music Teachera' National Association, Mr. Finney is also director of Heinz Chapel Choir and Men's Glee Club. DR. MANUEL C. ELMER-Head of the Sociology department, with his royal ancestry and Wisconsin farm background, is never at a loss for a story to illustrate a sociological point. To whisper in his class is to challenge an expert lip reader and to cut class is to challenge his photographic mind. Genial DR. LELAND BALDWIN not only eficiently heads the University libraries, but also finds time to write. Some of his past works are "Pittsburgh, The Story of a City", "Delectable Country", a best seller; he is now working on a book that will probably be published in the fall. WALTER B. HOVEY-This year Professor Hovey glows as le teaches his classes in the newly completed Fine Arts Room. His quiet manner, dapper clothes, and sense of humor make him a favorite with students. With a peculiar style of his own, DR. O. E. JENNINGS, head of the biology department, can make difficult technical problems very simple. He has an attractive personality and a good sense of humor. BILL HAMMAKER-Jovial Bill Hammaker, Y. M. C. A. leader, is well known at Pitt not only for his work in that organization, but also for his warm personality and sincerity. [30 ] 7r-W7 ~77 Better known as "Bill"-capably welcomes guests at the Information Room-manages the Lost and Found department-is official ticket collector at the school dances--he is tall, ruddy WILLIAM DAUFENBACH, Assistant to the Dean of Men. For diversion MR. JOSEPH WALKUP likes golf and plays around with home movies. This year he replaced Mr. Rothrock as head of the department of Industrial Engineering. MR. HENRY LEIGHTON'S students like him because he is so congenial and friendly. As head of the Geology Department he is now in his thirtyfirst year at Pitt. DR. ALEXANDER SILVERMAN, head of the Department of Chemistry, has held office in many scientific organizations throughout the world. His addresses on glass have been given to groups in many countries. DR. JAMES STINCHCOMB, professor of classics and head of the department, delivers his lectures with knowing deliberation and merry twinkle in his eye. DR. ELMER D. GRAPER reigns supreme as "King Quiz of Pitt". As an authority in political science, he is unquestioned. An interesting lecturer and a philosopher of the old school is DR. MARION McKAY, professor of economics. He always advocated preparedness, and long before the war, he predicted the impending struggle. [31] DR. JAMES S. TAYLOR'S friendly grin gives the math students a moral boost. Although as head of the mathematics department he is kept quite busy, he is interested in student problems. DR. JOHN W. OLIVER, head of the history department also chairmans the morale committee on the University defense council and lives the hard work philosophy that he preaches. MRS. J. K. MILLER has the ability to make anyone feel at home whether he is a shy freshman at the Wednesday tea in the Commons Room or a distinguished visitor dedicating a new Nationality Room. DR. WHITFORE H. SHELTON, chairman of the department of modern languages, always begins class on time, gets out his little book, and closes the door. His speech is quiet but it carries a strong sense of humor. ROBERT X. GRAHAM, director of the Uni versity News Service, extended his duties in be coming publication advisor. Bob's humor arise~ from his play on words; at times he is very punny. Respected by all for his erudition, genial DR PERCIVAL HUNT, head of the English departmen and professor at large, livens his lectures by quota tions and illustrations from experiences commoi to all his students.

Armed Forces Mhere has gone some riehnexssfrom the life we knew MISS HELE OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN Twelfth floor Cathedral is the first line of action for women's activities at Pitt. Here one is certain to receive a sympathetic hear ing and kindly advice from Miss R.ush and her two assistants, Miss Todd and Miss Glasser. The personalities of Miss Rush's two assistants, who aid in carrying on the work of the office, contribute considerably to the congenial atmosphere of the office. Miss Marjorie Todd has the important job of arranging for the housing of women from out of town. Miss Todd also helps the Pitt girl who is in need of part-time employment. A Pitt graduate, Miss Harriett Glasser is another enthusiastic member of the twelfth floor office. Besides advising the chairmen of the various organizations on campus, she EN POOL RUSH checks on definitions. keeps records of the women's activity eligibility. The guiding force of the twelfth floor is Acting Dean, Miss Helen Pool Rush. Her great faith in young women is an inspira tion to all with whom she comes into con tact. Miss Jane Key and Miss Kay Sturm are the two friendly receptionists in the office. They handle the secretarial work and see that everything runs smoothly. Life after com mencement is fuller, finer for having known and been associated with the office on the twelfth floor. The staff waits to greet Freshman woman. Marjorie Todd Miss Jane Key, Miss Catherine Sturm Miss Harriet Glasser OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN When campus leaders and activities men brought their problems to 809 this year, they found new counsel and new advisers. Presiding over the busy domain that is the Dean of Men's office is Acting Dean of Men, Theodore W. Biddle. No stranger at judging ideas, plans, and men, Mr. Biddle drew from his store of experience to answer the many questions brought to his desk. To the difficult job of coordinating the varied and expansive activities of Pitt fraternities came personable Roy H. Umble capably performing his task with vigor. Band director Robert Arthur was another new name to be painted on the door. His was the responsibility of general adviser to the University's many diverse activities. Replacing Ed Williams in the placement bureau, the job of finding the best places for Pitt graduates became the trust of Lawrence Irwin. Inspite of new faces and new problems, Mr. Biddle and his associates were more than equal to the demands made of them. MR. THEODORE W. BIDDLE settles men's problems. MR. ED WILLIAMS finds us jobs. MR. ROBERT ARTHUR counsels activities. DEAN OF MEN SECRETARIES: Kesseler, Cubbison, Dorfield. MR.

The impatient students on their way out pull on its stubborn knob, hold it open for those in back, and bang it against the wall until it Finally comes into the gentler hands of the instructor who closes it quietly. Then for a Few moments he stands quietly until the next mob rushes into the room. Now it is pushed, sometimes by fat heavy hands that shove it open, sometimes by soft painted hands that weakly struggle against its bulk. The late comer hits it a solid blow as a boisterous salute. Inside the room the hands are still busy rustling the News, probing in pocket books--- conscientious hands that leaf through texts, and relaxed hands whose idleness shows that their masters are already on the way to sleep, and Finally the earnest hands which grasp the pens and pencils. The class has begun. And so we begin the most important part of this book, the part that makes Pitt a University---the Classes. [40 ] The expressive hands oj the projessor shape the ac/ivities oj the student and direct his work into productive channels. [41] BERNADETTE BLATT [42 SENIOR QUEEN ALMA INVATER NANCY CRAWFORD E 43 1 Each year one senior girl is chosen by her classmates to reign as Senior Queen for one year. She is selected for her character, her personality, her achievement in academic studies, her participation in extra-curricular activities and her contribution to the life of the University. Alma Mater, another outstanding senior girl, crowns the queen in an English coronation ceremony under the Gothic arches of the Commons Room. The Senior Queen is a symbol. The members of the senior class not only honor her as a person, but also see in her, and honor in her, their own personal attainments. "Intelligent leadership, personal integrity, and intellectual honesty" are phrases that describe the Senior Awardee. And this award is given to the senior man who most closely approaches these standards set up by Omicron Delta Kappa. From the outstanding men a special committee chooses the awardee. Dean Theodore Biddle is the chairman of the committee. 0. D. K. and the University honor the Senior Awardee by in scribing his name on O. D. K. walk. Bernadette Blatt Jean Brink Virginia Porter Elinor Barbrow Elizabeth Foster Nancy Crawford NOMINEES FOR SENIOR QUEEN [44 ] SENIOR AWARDEE EDWARD TAIT [45] DR. LANFEAR reads the latest business journals. DR. VINCENT W. LANFEAR Because he misses his boys on the eighth floor, the wise and friendly counselor, Dean Lanfear, is always glad when they drop into his office for a chat. Last July, Dean Lanfear moved from his office of Dean of Men and is now Dean of the School of Business Administration. Since the war he has noted a great demand for girls in business administration. He says this field offers broad opportunities. Although too busy to spend much time on hobbies or recreation, Dean Lanfear is a nature and fishing enthusiast. Several years ago he and his wife collected liverworts from thirty-six counties in Pennsylvania, and Carnegie Museum now exhibits their entire collection. Dean Lanfear came to Pitt in 1924 as a professor in business finance. Until 1934 he was head of the downtown Chamber of Commerce division of the University. JOSEPH AARON Greenbrier Military School.

CRAWFORD Dean Crawford, combining a high standard of learrniig with a necessity for student activity, a ects his school wisely and efficiently. A graduate of Bethany College, West Virginia, where he majored in biology, he obtained his master's degree at Cincinnati and his doctor's degree at Pitt. Dean of the College for seven years, Dean Crawford first came to Pitt as a teacher and was appointed director of High School Relations. Primarily interested in the student and his place in the University, Dean Crawford believes that, "Young people must be given every opportunity for working out their own careers. The value of student activities can not be over-emphasized, and as a means toward obtaining that end, the present Student Advisory systems are very effective." DR. CRAWFORD ponders a moment by his office window. / MARTHA J. ABERCROMBIE-Verona High School. Beta Sigma Omicron President 3.. Pi Tau Phi.. Psi Chi Eta.. Y.W.C.A 3, 4.. Membership Committee 3, 4..

FRIESSELL enters another year with the University. DR. H. EDMUND FRIESSELL During the thirty-eight years that Dr. H. Edmund Friessell has been Dean of the School of Dentistry, his initiative and drive have been responsible for Pitt's recognition as a leader among American dental institutions. Since 1918, when the Dental Education Council of America began its ratings, our Dentistry School has been recognized as class "A". Dr. Friessell, believing that "dentistry is a field of health service of the utmost importance to man", has given most of his life to his work. He founded the American College of Dentists in 1920 and has served on numerous state, national, and international committees for dental research. The Dental Library and Museum originated from his own private collection. In the DENTAL INFIRMARY with its modern equipment, students get practical dental training. C i f Copyright Edito..........

JACOBSEN, believer in educational ideals through arts. DR. EINAR W. JACOBSEN Dr. Einar W. Jacobsen has been at the University for less than two years, but no man has been more active in two years. As Chairman of the Civilian Defense Council at the University, his duties are doubled arranging a complicated and elaborate defense program. In December Dr. Jacobsen directed a Christmas Festival which was presented in the Commons Room. But he does not spend all his time at the University. Recently, he made trips to Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, and California. His Education for Family Life, which is newly off the press, is a great help to many people. DELORES P.

DEAN RUTH PERKINS KUEHN Since nursing is an essential defense service, Dean Kuehn is quite busy aiding the need for more nurses. In the local Red Cross Nurses' Chapter, her responsibility is to train people in home nursing, and to build up the Red Cross First Reserve which serves as a reservoir for obtaining nurses for both the army and navy. Women's clubs, community organizations, and educational groups are striving to have Dean Kuehn speak to them. The only let-up that she has had from her work was her trip to New York last January, where she is serving on the State National Committee for the Recruiting of Nurses. She will make this trip again very shortly, and perhaps get a rest from her many activities. DEAN KUEHN leads the women in white. MRS. ETHEL LAWYER AYER-Struthers High School, Ohio S.

Microscopes are used quite often for analysis... one student observes as his partner records his findings. [91] MR. BISHOP BROWN Director Brown is a graduate of Dartmouth. Since 1929 he has been connected with the University's Bureau of Retail Training, and for the last seven years has headed the Bureau as its director. Before joining the Bureau, Mr. Brown was store manager for Hobey Co. and Jay's in Boston. Mr. Brown's interests run outside his field. He is fond of flowers and has an elaborate garden around his home. During the last war he was a citation. Once a year Mr. Brown makes a tour to some of the leading universities of the country to recruit for the following year's course. Prominent in the realm of its graduate schools is the University's Research Bureau for Retail Training. In 1918 the Bureau had its beginning in a committee of Pittsburgh merchants and educators interested in the problems of young people entering the field of retailing. Thus it is the pioneer graduate retail school of the world. The Bureau has as its basis the needs of the young men and women interested in reMR. BROWN checks current business reports tailing and of the business man who will employ these young people. It intelligently recognizes the fact that although the business man desires his young employee to be wellfounded in the theories and principles of retailing, he looks for the person who can meet the problems of business with ease and competence, the person who is skilled in practical knowledge. The Bureau knows that the student who is best acquainted with the diverse aspects of retailing is the student most likely to solve his own problems quickly; it knows that the business man prefers the well-rounded student. With the student's needs in mind, the Bureau plans its program. It is the graduate school of specialization for students of retailing; it does for the retail student what the hospital does for the medical student. From the program the Bureau sets up, the student can see merchandising, personnel management, control, store operation, and advertising in action and can choose among them. He gets theoretical and practical training in the field of his choice. Research always plays an important part in the Bureau program. In addition to the class room, the Bureau offers the student laboratory work, actual experience. It sets aside two days a week for the student to observe and work in one of Pittsburgh's seven cooperating department stores, in which he meets and handles real business situations. But most important is the fact that during that year of grad F Students make and study charts that disclose surprising facts about familiar store operations. Saturday is a full-time selling day for Bureau students. Pittsburgh department stores function as work ing laboratories for the Bureau. The Bureau library is stocked with the latest books on retailing. In the library Bureau students keep well informed. uate work, the young student finds himself and directs his training toward one line rather than blundering about in the business world indefinitely. For in our age of specialization the individual must be skilled in the needs of one field; the student with general knowledge and no specific training is at a disadvantage. [ 93] Up the hill, on University Drive stands PENNSYLVANIA HALL where medical students attend classes. DR. WILLIAM S. McELLORY The United States Navy used to have "Bill"; Pitt has him now. A former tennis champ, a letterman in football, and a lover of golf is Dr. William S. McEllroy, Dean of the Medical School "up on the hill". His many responsibilities at the University keep him very busy, but he always finds time to help a fellow. Although he is not doing any research at present, he has conducted extensive research studies in blood pigment, protein and iron, anemia, and metabolism. Dr. McEllroy, a former Pitt man, served as junior lieutenent in the Medical Reserve of the United States Navy after he graduated from the University. Later he became assistant instructor in the medical school. Today he is the dean. DEAN McELLROY heads Pitt's Medical center. From the thirty-fifth floor of the Cathedral, one can see the vast expanse of the upper campus showing Pennsylvania Hall in the background.
