DEAN KUEHN Dean of the School of Nursing, Ruth Perkins Kuehn’s opinion is that “nursing emphasis is now on human re- lationships between the patient and the nurse and less on skills. Of course we need both.” Pitt nursing emphasizes nursing service administration, putting attention on patient care for new “nursing prac- titioners.” l\Iost “menial tasks of old” are handled now almost exclusively by non—professional help in hospitals. Pitt’s School of Nursing graduates over 100 nurses per year. A great need for professional nurses exists. As a result, graduates have little difficulty in finding satis- factory positions. Dean Kuehn was born in Sharon, Wisconsin, and grad- uated from the school of nursing at the Children’s l\Iemo- rial Hospital, Chicago. For years she has worked Vigor- ously to improve nursing education. 99 SCHOOL OF NURSING Miss Mildred Disbraw Dr. C. McClure Mrs. G. Bonine Obstetric Chairman, Nursing Pediatric Miss E.

Each organization that celebrates an anniversary is proud of its past. As it grows older the group becomes rich with customs and traditions that its members founded. It becomes an integral part of the needs of the people it serves. The Owl is fifty years old. Within that time, the Owl has become more than a book with students’ pictures. It has become a record of students’ lives in their undergraduate days at the University and a pictorial history of a great University’s growth. This world that the Owl serves is an important world. The people who make up this world, both students and faculty, should be given more than words and lectures to remember the wonderful days that they spent at the Uni- versity of which they are so much a part. The stafl’s that have worked on the yearbook have tried to meet this need by producing a better Owl each year for University people. To these staffs, we wish to dedicate this edition of the Owl. Everyone, whether editor, adviser, or typist who has built this tradition of the Owl we wish to thank for the heritage given us. In fifty years, the book has grown be- cause of these people. We hope that our book will be a credit to them and a fitting book to end the first fifty years of its history. The Editor PHARMACY DEPARTMENT HEADS DIV E- P’ Claus DI‘- R- W- S3891‘ Dr. J. A.

Smith, dean of the School of Retailing and professor of retailing at Pitt, received his B.B.A. at West- minster College in 1937, his l\I.Litt. at Pitt in 1938. Mr. Smith is a native Pittsburgher. He feels that the businessman has definite responsi- bilities to the community he serves; the retailer is the student of his age, according to Mr. Smith. Students in retailing are conscious of the everchanging markets. Dis- tribution and productivity mean little if the product is not sold. Department stores make the perfect laboratories for retailing and its intricacies, states Mr. Smith. There are four associated stores in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Dayton, and Washington, D. C. who hire Pitt retailing students that they might get an overall point of View in their graduate studies. l\Ir. Smith recently wrote an informat e article on retailing for the magazine report Career, the annual guide to business. Prof. R. D. Entenberg Prof. C. D. Huffman Prof. E.

To the graduating class of 1956 As a representative of more than 47,000 Pitt graduates, I’d like to extend our congratulations as you step from senior to alumnus status. This moment, graduation, is one of the high points in your life. The degree that you hold represents an investment. It has taken you four years, a considerable expenditure of energy, and a large amount of money to earn it. What exactly is it worth? Generally speaking, whatever you choose to make it worth. From now on it is you and the way that you employ your degree that will decide just how valuable it is. A diploma is not only the culmination of one invest- ment but the beginning of another. To the graduate of the class of 1956 I extend an invi- tation to take an active part in your University’s Alumni Association. I’itt’s General Alumni Association and the eleven constituent associations are composed of men and Women who remember their University affectionately and who work for its best interests. They are graduates from 1905 to 1955; they may be professionals or A.B. degree graduates. This they have in common: they want to see the University progress, and they are doing something about it. You recognize this feeling. As an undergraduate you were able to share, through classes and activities, in the creation of an important era in Pitt’s history. The activi- ties of the Alumni Association continue the investment you’ve made in Pitt’s future. We of the Association would be glad to hear from you at any time. Again, congratulations and good luck Sincerely, James J. Lee, I\I.D. President, General Alumni Association II ,AL iOft Awl~ "........ j, ~,I/ V "' I " X. .4.

N I Z A T I O R G A O N S -4 EYES OE TEE OWL Pitt this year celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its year- book, the Owl. The years have been eventful with constant change. It is a fitting time for us to look back toward the first decades of this century, seeing what has given stature to our University, but never forgetting that the Class of 1956 will live with today and plan for tomorrow. How does one chart the history of a great university? Its story, its drama, is elusive and the only truths of the past that exist are the records that have measured our progress. To honor that progress we have chosen to portray its source: the administrators, the faculty, the students who make a school live—no matter what its size——and the build- ings, new and old, in which that life of learning is carried on. Throughout its entire history, Pitt has been concerned with growth and expansion. Since the early nineteen-hundreds when the Western University of Pennsylvania chose as its permanent name the University of Pittsburgh, new develop- ments have come into existence quickly. An early plan for the University’s location was the building of a new educational Heinz Chapel ALPHA Pres. Vice Pres. Treas. Sec. Adv. F irst row: F. Schwartz, N. Hertz, F. Varolo, E. Schwartzman, F.

Future education majors will now have a fine resource library, thanks to the research of Alpha Beta Gamma, the professional sorority for junior and senior women in elementary education. Here, the education students, student teachers, and in- service teachers can obtain the available publications and ‘ audio—visual aids in their field. Alpha Beta Gamma is a local sorority which was founded at Pitt in 1939 in order to foster cooperation and friendship between students and faculty members. Its social program, to establish unity among elementary education students, included social meetings, general meet- ings, panel discussions, and a spring banquet. Special events, such as field trips to schools and Carnegie Museum, and pertinent speeches from foreign exchange teachers and the University Placement Bureau, were also arranged. The new initiates pin on their ribbons. ‘,,uicha First row: M. Johnston, J. Powell, R. Barelay, F. Coyle, J. Baron. Second row: E. Caldwell, J. Fischer, D. Coller, J. Haysel, R. Clarke, R.

The objectives of the fraternity are many: to promote the profession of dentistry, to encourage good spirit and fellowship among its members, to create and bind together a body of professional men, who by scholarly attainments and faithful service have achieved distinction. Among this year’s activities was a barn dance, a freshman smoker, a pledge dinner, an annual senior banquet, and a picnic. Also, the fraternity was host last December at the national Alpha Omega Convention for 1955, held in the VVil- liam Penn Hotel. The Dental School Interfraternity Scholarship award, in existence for only five years, has been won each consecutive year by the Alpha Omegas. 4; Even the dental students must know the proper method for brushing teeth.

The aim of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, is to give service to the student body and faculty, to members of any fraternity, and to youth, the community, and the nation as a whole. Any male student who is interested in taking part in such service projects that Will benefit the school or the community is eligible for membership. Last year the members of Alpha Phi Omega ushered at Commencement, Tap Day, Scholar’s Day, and Varsity Day. They set up refreshment booths at Spring Carnival and sev- eral of the year’s dances, and took a big hand in proctoring for exams during the examinations for entering freshmen. Also, in keeping with their code of performing services for charities, members worked at scout camps, ushered for the Religion-in-Life convocation, and held Christmas and Easter parties for orphans.

The organization strives to make its members proud of the University of Pittsburgh and to build strong character in individuals. Each year the fraternity encourages scholastic endeavor by presenting awards to the students who have achieved high standing in their class. Among the social activities for the past year was a hay ride and square dance, a Pittsburgh Playhouse affair, and an installation dinner dance. The fraternity also held a forum on pharmaceutical subjects and raised money for their na- tional cultural fund. Last year Alpha Zeta Omega received the Directorum Cup for being the most outstanding chapter in the country. First row: Z. Horovitz, S. Darling, S. Gordon, A. Mark, M. Fenstersheib. Second row: H.

The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an i11ter- national professional organization comprised of full-time electrical engineering students. The organization broadens the student’s acquaintance with the engineering world and fosters qualities needed by the engineer which are 11ot fully cultivated while in school. It also gives the student an opportunity to strengthen his social, technical, and literary bonds with his fellow class- mates, instructors, and graduate engineers. Several group inspection trips to factories were on the agenda last year. By showing the student the newest devel- opments in the industry, the organization helps him to better understand his field. Last year also the Institute entered its newspaper iii the annual newspaper contest, competing with entries from all over the country. A.I.E.E. Chairman Charles Allen Vice Ch. Paul Lego Sec.

Founded originally in 1882, Delta Sigma Delta, fraternity comprised of students and practitioners of dentistry, has the distinction of being the only international dental fraternity in existence. Its members strive to keep the standards of dentistry high by encouraging cooperation toward scientific, ethical, and professional progress. Last year these sports-minded dentists captured the professional football league championship for the second straight year. Active socially, the fraternity held parties every two or three weeks during the year. Each year the fraternity also highlights its social calendar with a Christmas and spring formal.

To advance professionalism and fraternalism in the field of pharmacy is the aim of Kappa Psi, national professional pharmacy fraternity. Any student who has completed one full semester in the Pharmacy school and who has a 1.5 overall QPA is eligible for membership. Last Christmas, the members participated in a canned food drive for orphans. Earlier in the year, they had a friendly get-together at an evening smoker, and they culminated their year's activities with a gala spring formal. Mainly, the organization tries to foster a friendly atmosphere among those students who have chosen pharmacy as a vocation. A friendly spirit, the members feel, can greatly advance the profession's standing on the whole. Discussions of techniques, standards, and attitudes also play a dominant role in the organization's prime purpose. You can tell it's 14:30 and lunch time for the Kappa Psis. First row: D.

The purpose of Phi Delta Chi, national pharmaceutical pharmacy, is two-fold: to advance the science of pharmacy and to foster and promote a fraternal spirit among its members. Male students in the Pharmacy School who have maintained a 1.5 QPA are eligible for membership. The organization sponsored a spring and fall smoker at which they tapped their new members, and several friendly get-together parties with student nurses. A spring alumni banquet and a spring dinner dance were two of the more gala affairs. Each year the organization sponsors such charities as the Pitt Chest Drive. In December the fraternity sent representatives to the annual national convention held in Indianapolis.

All undergraduate students who are interested in social work and who have a desire to find out more about the profession are invited to membership in the Pre-Social Work Club. The organization met several times during the year. At these meetings the members tried to give interested students a broader background and knowledge of the field of social work. Many times men and women who are working in the field are invited to speak on the requirements of social work or to give various other kinds of advice to the students. The organization has no formal officers and is more of a mutual interest group. The adviser to the Pre-Social Work Club is Miss Jean Reynolds.

One outstanding national dental fraternity on the University of Pittsburgh campus is Psi Omega, which goes far in furthering the welfare of its industrious members. Psi Omega is primarily a social organization aimed at the professional student who seeks a certain kind of diversion from his dental studies. Certainly he finds that interesting, homey feeling as a member of Psi Omega. Members may be tapped to the fraternity after their first semester in the School of Dentistry. Last year the fraternity held a Christmas formal which was a brilliant success. With the end of the school year came the spring formal which terminated the social year as well. Each year Psi Omega, sponsors a Christmas party for homeless children. They also contribute to various charities, including the Pitt Chest. Leisure time is spent in enjoyment at this house.

The feeling was that such a plan would take full advan- tage of the sloping hill and at the same time give an impres- sion of the Classic Age in the clustering together of the vari- ous schools. The first building erected on the campus was State Hall, early seat of the Administration, followed within months in 1909 by Thaw Hall, containing the School of Engineering, near the Soldiers’ l\Iemorial. The Dental School became an integral part of the Uni- versity in 1905, moving into its present building on O’Hara Street in October, 1912, the year of Pitt’s 125th anniversary; later the Dental Clinic, the Dental Annex, and the upper Dental School were erected. United with the University since 1896, the School of Pl1ar- macy located its building farther downtown in 1902. The school remained somewhat independent from the University proper but finally merged with Pitt in January of 1948 on the seventieth anniversary of the founding of a school of phar- macy in Pittsburgh, the practice of which actually began in the days when Pittsburgh was the last outpost to the West. Home for the profession of medicine has been located i11 Pennsylvania Hall ever since its dedication in January of 1911. In this building also are the related medical library, classrooms, and laboratories. Then in 1912 the Allegheny Observatory was completed in Riverview Park, replacing an earlier observatory which was pioneered under the direction of Dr. Samuel P. Langley, early inventor in aviation. The new and soon important ob- servatory grew out of the efforts of Dr. John A. Brashear, act- ing chancellor from 1901 to 1904»a man who “loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” Allegheny Observatory SIGMA THETA TAU Pres. Marie Gnus Vice Pres.

Women who are students in the School of Pharmacy and have maintained a 1.5 QPA are eligible to become members of Lambda Kappa Sigma, the professional pharmaceutical / sorority. The principal aim of this national honorary is to promote the professional, scholastic, and social interests of women in pharmacy. To further this purpose, projects such as "Hygeia Day" held top listing on the sorority's program for the year. The future pharmacists entertained themselves with a series of parties which they held every month. In addition to these regular monthly parties, the sorority celebrated its Founders Day with a big party intended to give each girl a closer acquaintance with the objectives of Lambda Kappa Sigma. These honor students have been working late. First row: S. Theodore, E. Morgan, E. Baran, J. Fleet, A. Myers. Second row: S. Jones, E. Rees, B. Chomas, J. Clauser, C. Clement. 148 MORTAR BOARD Pres. Jocelyn Shoemaker Vice Pres. Virginia Freedland Sec. Beverly Levin Treas. Martha DiFonso "Watch out Bea... it's hot!" Mortar Board is a national honor society for senior women which stresses and encourages services to the University, scholarship, and leadership. Its purposes are to promote college loyalty, to stimulate and develop a finer type of col lege woman, and to provide for the cooperation among all Mortar Board societies. Perhaps the main purpose among the members is to set adequate examples, in all that they do, of what a university woman should be. The women of Mortar Board met two Thursdays of each month in the Vira Heinz Room for a dinner, a business meeting, and a program. Last January they sponsored a dinner for the University administrative heads, and another in March for their mothers. Also this year, the women held a social for the Mortar Board members of Carnegie Tech. Everyone has a hand in arranging the flowers. First row: R. Elliott, M. DiFonso, G. Friedman, J. Shoemaker, V.

Omicron Delta Kappa is open to those individuals who have excelled in both scholarship and quality participation in activities. ODK's three main aims are to recognize men who have attained high scholarship-activities standards on campus, to bring the faculty closer in contact with the students through mutual interests, and to bring together the most representative men in all phases of college life. Support of the student magazine Omnibus and the promotion of a high school relations program, in which individual high school leaders are brought together with respective college men, are accomplishments of the organization. Among the social affairs of ODK was their annual Manof-the-Year banquet, which was one of the highlights following Tap Day. ODK members enjoy the latest in Hi-Fi. First row: R. Gorham, Dr. Swarts, C.

Robert Muzik The group responds with a challenging answer. Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honorary fraternity, actively en courages high scholastic attainment. A freshman with a 2.5 average in either of his first two semesters, is qualified for membership. Through varied programs and activities, the organization aims at spreading culture and idealism among the students. Fall and spring initiation banquets at the Faculty Club made up the list of activities this year, as well as a spring smoker for prospective members. The fraternity also sponsored many worthwhile projects. A free tutoring service for freshmen and sophomores was one of its most valuable pursuits. Then too, the men aided in the support of the Council of Scholastic Organizations and awarded a plaque to the highest ranking freshman man. First row: J. Gotterer, L. Zelkowitz, C.

Leo Zelkowitz Sec. Virginia Freedland Treas. Nick Sirianni The literary "genius" instructs his pupils. To foster good relations between members of all student publications is the aim of Pi Delta Epsilon, national honorary journalism fraternity. Any student with a 1.5 QPA who has worked on a student publication for one and a half years or who has accepted an editorship for a year is eligible for membership. Such a student must have given outstanding service to the publication and displayed a genuine interest in this group. One of the more important projects undertaken by this group last year was the annual High School Publications Institute. The project consisted mainly of two things: the grading and rating of hundreds of high school newspapers and yearbooks sent in to the University from high schools throughout the Allegheny County, and a convention at the University. 153 A~ Thaw Hall Alumni Hall The next important addition to the upper campus on the hill was Alumni Hall with its winter ground-breaking in January, 1920.

Believing scholarship, culture and idealism the chief aims of university life, members forward these ideals through social fellowship. They encourage an interchange of ideas among students and faculty members to forward intellect. They encourage a turning toward art, literature, music, and other interests to improve a scholar's education. And they try to inspire students to work for high goals and attainments. Realizing also that charity is the sign of compassion, the group last year contributed to the Scholars Day Fund, and Religion-in-Life. This pause means nutrition! PI TAU PHI Pres. Vice Pres. Sec.

Members strive to foster an understanding of the cultures and societies of the different nationalities of the world. They do this by interpreting the rooms to visitors, to faculty, and to other students. They also serve at the afternoon teas in the Commons Room, aiding at University events such as Chancellor's reception, and assisting in the Information Room. Each year two of the most outstanding junior hostesses are chosen to be the recipients of scholarships for summer study and travel abroad. Senior hostesses who have served seventy-five or more hours receive a framed water-color reproduction of their favorite nationality room. "These cushions are hard!" QUO VADIS Pres. Vice Pres. Sec.

To be eligible for membership, a student must be in the upper 10 per cent of the junior class in the School of Pharmacy with a 2.0 QPA. To recognize and promote scholarship in the field of pharmacy is the organization's chief aim. Rho Chi's annual initiation dinner in May to honor their new members was a highlight of the fraternity's social calendar. At that time the sophomore member who as a freshman maintained the highest grades is presented the book, Remington's Practice of Pharmacy. The support of Pitt Capsule, the student publication of the School of Pharmacy, is one of the chief objectives of this honorary organization. 156 Pres. Vice Pres. Sec.-Treas. First row: T.

The society has a sincere cause for its existence, namely, to further members' knowledge of the scope and mission of the U. S. Air Force and to increase the esprit de corps of the Air Force unit at Pitt. Two of their main projects are the yearly do nation by the society en masse to the Red Cross blood drive and special tours they conduct for Boy Scouts at the Greater Pittsburgh Airport.

The members of the fraternity meet once a month on the tenth floor of the Cathedral to discuss the scientific, tech nical, and worthwhile activities of the organiza tion. Perhaps the two most important of these are the regularly scheduled field trips, and the Biology II class, which the fraternity sponsors. Also on the list of projects are a national essay contest, which its members take part in, and a Warren F. Witz award, given by the fraternity to an outstanding graduating biology major. The fraternity aims at enriching and furthering the interests of its members and therefore con centrates on the more serious aspects of its applied activities. 158 QUAX Pres. Paul Reber Vice Pres. Irwin Stein Sec. Emil Johnson Treas. John Honeck Quax, local science honorary for women, aims at inspiring and developing among its members a sincere interest in general science. At the same time, it tries to foster among them a spirit of good fellowship and friendship. Being tapped to the organization requires that a woman science student have a 2.0 overall average. Also, she must have completed three semesters and earned nine credits in her major science. The activities of Quax are many and varied. Along with regular programs during the year, at which different guest speakers are featured, the group sponsors several tours to Allegheny Observatory, Mellon Institute, and affairs for the sophomore, junior, and senior women science students.

Along with these, good spirit and fellow ship among the *men are helpful in forming a close and cooperative organization. Aside from regularly scheduled business meet ings at State Hall, the fraternity holds a pledge smoker and an initiation banquet each semester. The smoker opens the formal initiation period for new members and the banquet closes that period. This year the fraternity continued its work on the monument which is being built in front of the New Engineering Building.

The student group at the University which concerns itself with the best interests of the Pitt men and women is Student Congress. Students are either elected or appointed to serve. Student Congress seeks to study the needs and interests of the men and women in their joint educational and social life. It exerts leadership and promotes programs that foster good will, constructive work, and loyalty to the University. Pep rallies at Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall, celebrations after big football victories, and the planning of all-University dances were only a few of the projects undertaken by the members of Congress last year. To make students proud of Pitt was their ultimate goal. The organization met each Monday at 3:30 p.m. Advisers were Miss Patricia Ritz, Miss Emily Irvine, Mr. Charles Elliot, and Mr. John Huston. The meeting in the English Room is very absorbing. 162 STUDENT CONGRESS Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Treas. The executive committee debates an issue of Student Congress with President Bob Sedler.

Dimitri Petro, president, strongly opposes a measure. Men's Council, representing the men of the stu dent body at the University, attempts to improve the relation of the male student to his school and to his fellow students. To accomplish this commendable task the Council had a total membership of thirty dele gates, elected at large, and the eighteen class presidents from the undergraduate schools. Among the Council's social affairs were the sponsoring of the Freshman Mixers, and the ad ministrating of the Men's Freshman Conference Program, which indoctrinated new men with the lore of Pitt as well as with good study habits. Added to this agenda was the sponsoring of freshman elections, maintaining eighth floor men's lounges, and the lending of special equipment for visual aid and motion picture projection. 164 First row: T.

Washing dishes is fun when everyone helps. The purpose of the Women's Self Government Association is to coordinate the organized women's activities at the University into a unified whole. The organization hopes to foster a spirit of loyalty to the University in every Pitt coed. The organization began the year with its annual pre-school meeting held at White Sulphur Springs Hotel near Bedford, Pa., in September. It was here that the women organized their objectives and planned their year's projects. The year's activities were inaugurated with a transfer dinner in the newly-decorated Vira Heinz Room. Last year the organization sponsored a tutoring service for women, a guild program for freshmen, and mixer dances for the student body.

The Council initiates programs of work large enough in scope, service, and appeal to give many girls experience in extra curricular activities. Each year Panhellenic Council awards a Schol arship Cup to the sorority with the highest overall average. They also contributed $180 to the sup port of a Dutch war orphan and through Stunt Night financed a Panhellenic scholarship.

WOMEN'S FRESHMAN COUNCIL A few of the freshman girls discuss their first days in Pitt. The Women's Freshman Class' activities were planned and coordinated through the Freshman Council. In all, the group totalled thirty-eight women and was made up of two representatives from each Freshman Seminar. In March the freshmen held their first class dinner on the twelfth floor, and they adopted their by-laws. Later in the year they held a class party to become better acquainted.

The question of the class' memorial gift to the University was one of the many projects of the Men's Senior Class. Together with Pitt coeds the men decided what present would best help the institution. The Senior Men's Class also investigated the possibility of handling the sale of class rings in hopes of considerably reducing their cost to the student. The Men's Junior Class, including four undergraduate schools like its senior counterpart, investigated this year the possibility of merging the Spring Commons Room Ball with the Spring Festival Dance. They also aided the other officers in revising the constitution governing officers of the men's classes. A group of the Junior and Senior Class officers discuss the new student 179 magazine.

Officers of each school elect two officers to represent the members of the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. These overall officers are the chairman and recorder for these classes as a whole. They conduct meetings four times a year. The Sophomore Men's Class, working with the Woman's Sophomore Class was partially responsible for the planning and eventual success of the Kick-Off Dance held in the Field House in September. The Freshman Class -had a delightful evening at their Superstition Ball in Carnegie Music Hall in Januarythey haunted up quite a crowd. While the dance had the best prospective intentions, the approaching final examinations week seriously cut into the monetary success of the event. 180 FREEDOM OF RELIGION ,-Wuman Aeinqs, differinq in aesthetic andphkysical makeup, visualize a god (ltat is sympaltetic to their personal needs.

The Hillel Foundation, a Jewish organization at the University, provided a well-balanced program for the spiritual and temporal welfare of its members. It channelled its activities to meet its purposes of developing in the Jewish student a better understanding and appreciation of his faith. Hillel sponsored open dances, dinners, and religious celebrations that corresponded to the various Jewish holidays. The annual holiday affair for children from underprivileged homes gave Hillel members a more enjoyable and purposeful vacation. Hillel also had informal gatherings for its members and sponsored a religious service every Friday afternoon conducted by a different fraternity or sorority each week.

Newman Club offered its hospitality at an open house after the Nebraska game. The Newman Club is a national Roman Catholic organization aimed at strengthening the spiritual and temporal lives of its members. The organization presents a program of religious, cultural, and social activities, but the emphasis is on functions concerned with the church. The headquarters on Craig Street is the center of the group's activities. They sponsor Communion breakfasts, religious discussion groups, retreats, and a Christmas party for orphans. The Newman Club also supports Catholic missions. During the fifth hour every Wednesday, a noncredit religion and theology course is held which is open to all students. Regular meetings were held every Wednesday evening. First row: D. May, S. Consavage, S. Schweinsberg, Father Demblowski, C. Guckert, A. Caspero. Second row: R. Celio, J. O'Donnell, B. Chiappetta, B.

The next two years saw two beautiful additions to the Gothic Cathedral’s impressiveness: the Stephen Foster Me- morial, built in 1937 in appreciation of that native Pitts- burgher’s contribution to the music of our country, and in the spring of 1938, Heinz Chapel, a perfect example of West- ern man’s dedication to strength in faith and Wisdom in medi- tation. In the University’s athletic history, the charter of Pitt Stadium, built near Pennsylvania Hall, was approved in 1924, and the huge bowl soon rang to cheers of Pitt victories during the “Jock Sutherland Era.” It is important to Panther strength at present as well as being used for several civic events throughout the year’. With a record for good, skillful playing in past sports, the University completed December 15, 1951, the Memorial Field House, a $1,500,000 building with an indoor field, ball courts, and gymnasia to promote future athletic successes. 13 First row: R.

Luccock Two years ago Pi Theta, local pre-theological fraternity, was instituted at the University of Pittsburgh by five interested students. The organization has in this short time grown to over forty members, all of whom plan to enter the ministry and become pastors, priests,-or rabbis. The organization tries to develop among its members an appreciation of each other's faith and an understanding of the problems and opportunities of the ministry. Two of the more important projects of Pi Theta last year were a very active participation in Religion-in-Life Week and a campaign to get more students to attend the University Chapel services held each Wednesday. "Here are the reports, Dr. Luccock. See what you think of them." Pi Theta religious discussions are serious and important business. First row: J. Morrison, J. Seachrest, J. Sarver, R. Jones.

The Fellowship aims to deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of students by the study of the Bible, by prayer, and by discussions of current religious trends. For their social functions, The Pitt Christian Fellowship held supper meetings every Friday evening. These meetings were also attended by students from Carnegie Tech, Chatham College, and the Nurses' Christian Fellowship. The members of Pitt Christian Fellowship held prayer meetings every morning before school and Bible study sessions daily during the fifth hour. PITT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Treas.

The organization works hand in hand with the Chaplain in planning and organizing the Heinz Chapel Service of Worship and in other matters concerning the Chapel's use. Members are appointed to serve on the Board for a period of one or two years by all the stfident religious organizations on campus. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month. One of the primary purposes of the Board both in the past and at present has been to try to secure a free hour during which all students may be free to attend Chapel. The Board also decides on the three charitable organizations which are to be the recipients of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter offerings taken up at the Chapel each year. Board members leave Heinz Chapel after one of their Monday meetings. Officers carefully plan a Wednesday chapel service. STUDENT CHAPEL BOARD Pres. V. Pres. Sec. Adv. 186 A smile is evidence of a member's pride in Wesley activities. Wesley dinners provide fellowship and good food. The Wesley Fellowship was founded to provide Christian fellowship for students of the Methodist faith at Pitt, Carnegie Tech, and Chatham College through a wellrounded social and worship program. As one of the primary functions of the group, the Fellowship sent delegations of its members to various church organizations throughout the Pittsburgh district to explain their interpretation of the role young people should assume in church life. Wesley Fellowship gives students an opportunity to continue active church work and also acts as a social group. Their motto is "faith, fun, and fellowship." The organization provides many social activities fbr its members, sponsoring such events as swimming and bowling parties. WESLEY FELLOWSHIP Pres. V. Pres. See. Treas. Adv.

Stratton Membership in Westminster Foundation is comprised mainly of Presbyterians, United Presbyterians, Congregational Christians and students belonging to the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. Any student, however, who is interested in working with this Foundation is welcome. Each year the group contributes to such worthy charities as the World Student Christian Federation and the World University Service. During the summer, many members devote their time to work camps both in this country and overseas. Last year the Pitt Chapter acted as hosts to the Westminster Foundation from West Virginia University during the Pitt-West Virginia football game. They also enjoyed themselves tremendously while visiting at Penn State where they were the guests of the Penn State Foundation during the annual Pitt-Penn State game on November 19. Members enjoy singing the hymns of their faith. Discussions of the Bible are part of the program. WESTMINSTER FOUNDATION Pres. V. Pres. Sec. Treas. Adv. First row: D. Caird, J. McLeister, L. Epstein.

The purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association is to promote and maintain among students a sense of responsibility to increase their understanding and practice of the Christian philosophy of life. Any male student who supports this aim is qualified for membership. The organization held monthly association meetings, Bible study discussion groups, inter-collegiate conferences, and a mid-semester retreat. The members also engaged in a lively intramural sports program and the publishing of the Y-NEWSETTE, a monthly newspaper. Last year an important project of the group was the United Nations Week program. Their honored guest was Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway. A fall jamboree and a square dance with the YWCA highlighted the social program for the year. John McLeister and Lenny Epstein pause for thought during a meeting. YMCA Pres. V. Pres. Sec. -Treas.

Last year the members engaged in a "Clothes for Korea" drive, besides making their annual contributions to the Community and Pitt Chests and holding several orphans' parties. One of the group's biggest projects has been the cosponsoring of United Nations Week at Pitt. YWCA girls take pride in their table-settings. Pres. V. Pres. Sec. Treas. Adv.

The Canterbury Association is open to any student interested in the Episcopal faith. As a national organization devoted to fostering a better understanding of the Christian faith and practice, this strong religious group brings a unified intensity of fellowship to the University campus. With a full social calendar, the organization combines with students from Tech, Chatham College, and Duquesne for many of its recreational activities. Among the Association's various outside activities are their annual Christmas party for underprivileged children and the cQnducting of religious services in missions throughout the diocese of Pittsburgh. LUTHERAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION The aim of the Lutheran Student Association, national religious organization, is to carry the Christian Gospel to the academic community. If an individual is a student in an institution of higher learning and if he has a sincere interest in the work and aims of this group, he is qualified for membership. The work of the organization was carried on by means of Bible study groups, discussions on religion, and worship services. At the religious discussions, students were encouraged to speak of their religious views and problems. Last year, as had been done previously, the members held worship services for the patients at Passavant Hospital. Pres. V. Pres. Sec. Treas. Adv.

Members discuss the new constitution with two of the advisors. The newest and fastest-growing group on campus this year was the Pitt Student Council of Religious Organi zations. Like most Pitt organizations, its purposes are manifold. The Council's purposes are to work wherever possible to promote religious understanding and cooperation, and to stimulate participation in the development of spiritual, moral, and ethical campus life. And how are these purposes to be accomplished? The best way, as interested members saw it, was to have rep resentatives from all religious organizations participate in discussing the programs of these religious-minded students on the Pitt campus. The Council went far in promoting and developing the best dictates of the various religious groups represented. First row: B. Friedman, K. Kormanik, J. Wright, M. Schaefer, M. Lazzo, C. Misner, B.

PUBLICATIONS UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LIBRARIES 14 Pharmacy School Dental School Pennsylvania Hall In Pitt’s awareness of the general public need for better mental health, it has leaned heavily on the experts and tech- nicians of the VVestern Psychiatric Hospital, also on the upper campus, which was Built in 1944 and presented to the Uni- versity by the governor of the Commonwealth in 1949 to maintain its original purpose of aiding those district citizens in need of mental therapy. It is a testing laboratory not only for graduates and undergraduates, but for the whole com- munity. THE 1956 OWL Fifty years ago in 1906, the students, faculty, and administration agreed that it would be a good idea to have a. yearbook. But after the editor and his staff were chosen, they met with their initial problem: choosing a name for the new publication; the publication that was to remind future alumni of their school. Everyone on the staff had their, favorite name with the result that the publication was in a quandary. Then one smart young lad came up with the poem, "The Owl and the Pussy Cat." This lad and other smart young lads figured that the "Pussy Cat" was the panther, longtime mascot of the University. Certainly, there was an appropriate place beside the "Pussy Cat" for his partner, the Owl. And so, for fifty years, the "Pussy Cat" and the Owl have sailed steadily on, watching Pitt grow and expand. The Owl, itself, has grown from a small book containing only senior pictures to a pictorial history of the University. The tradition which began so many years ago has continued strongly in the 1956 Owl.

Editor Joe Banik and his assistant, Betty Ann Young agreed that "Pitt Through the Eyes of the Owl" was an excellent fifieth anniversary theme. Joe made a series of changes in the book. New features were added and others were enlarged. The fraternity sweetheart section took on a new look and an administration section and an index were added to the book. Joe and Betty Ann combined their efforts with Tom Vrana, the photo editor and color photographer. With the addition of Don Miller, literary editor, the book began to take shape. After the semester began, the other section editors began their work, molding their individual section into a cohesive unit. The business manager, Leo Zelkowitz, also began his work early. Leo had the responsibility of making the budget and then directing the rest of the staff in following it. He was often called a Scrooge but the budget balanced.

The administration announced that Edward A. Litchfield of Cornell University had been selected to succeed Chancellor Fitzgerald. In quick succession, ban ner headlines announced the football team had been in vited to play Georgia Tech in the New Orleans "Sugar Bowl" and the $3,000,000 purchase of the Schenley Apart ments for uses as student-faculty dormitories and the student union. Later, the Pitt News also carried the story of Pitt's second big purchase, the Schenley Park Hotel for $1,800,000. Again and again, banner headlines flashed important news articles such as acting Chancellor Nutting's announce ment that he would leave Pitt to head the philanthropic Buhl Foundation. The purchase of the Hubbard Reserva tion in North Park, the formation of a Council of Religious Organization on the Pitt campus and Dr. Jonas Salk's receiving the Pittsburgh "Man of the Year" award were among the top stories. Editors gather around copy desk to check heads. Irv looks over a news release. Two staff members get the facts for a story. 198 Deadlines are busy days in the office. Copy editor Rosemary Ray and news editor Ed Bachman surpassed the Pittsburgh papers by obtaining the first press interview with General Matthew B. Ridgway since arriving in Pittsburgh to serve as chairman of Mellon Institute. Vigorous writing by campus editor Gordon Clowney brought to the attention of student and faculty the inadequate civil defense procedures within the University. Editorial policy stressed the need for extra-curricular activities which were purposeful in supplementing academics, rather than those loosely organized groups and "out-dated traditions" which were supported on the basis of "self-preservation." Under the administration of Irving Rothman and business manager George Fowkes, the Pitt News celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The Pitt News, again, combined with the Evening News periodically, swelling circulation on such occasions to 12,000 copies.

Since the first issue in May of 1951, the Skyscraper Engineer has grown rapidly and today has a commanding role in the life of the Pitt engineering students. Not only does the magazine interest students in engineering research, but it also helps to spread the knowledge of Pitt's engineering activities. In March, the Skyscraper helps initiate Engineering Week in which the engineers promote Saint Patrick as their patron. Aside from the copies that are sold to the students on campus, the Skyscraper Engineer is circulated throughout the world to the alumni, high school students, other colleges, and business men in all fields. All of the articles in the magazine are not staff pieces, the Skyscraper prints contributions from students in the entire engineering school. During the year, the magazine also helps to promote different affairs throughout the year such as the E. and M. dance and mixer dances for the engineering students.

This past fall the magazine was awarded a third place in national competition by Pi Delta Epsilon, honorary journalism fraternity. The Skyscraper Engineer was kept financially stable by the fine efforts of Don Rooney as business manager. Don was assisted by Ed Ellis and advertising manager Tom Tarolli. The success of the magazine is due largely to the hard work and interest of the entire staff. The interest of these staff members in the development of the School of Engineering and Mines is well indicated by their participation in Engineering Week.

OMNIBUS The Omnibus, Pitt's student magazine, completed its first year of publication in 1956. It was initiated in the spring of 1955 when a group of publications students banded to gether to give Pitt its first student magazine since 1952. Three of the six editions were published during the fall semester. These contained features on student activity, sports, prominent Pittites, and fiction. The format of the magazine was changed at the begin ning of the spring semester. The first issue contained a The business staff: B. Young, M. Scott, J. Banik, D. Stevenson, H. Chodock, P. Thomas, A.

PITT CAPSULE The Pitt Capsule, published by the students of the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, took on added dimensions this year with a complete change of format. Under the astute editorship of Paul Baumgartner and the business promotion of Rae Schalit, the Capsule became a slick magazine printed in the "offset process" as opposed to its newspaper format of the previous years. The excellent black and white photograph reproductions made the book in its several editions a thing of beauty-- not to mention the profound and technically interesting articles on the many new advances in the field of pharmacy. Among the pharmacy students the magazine proved to be a boon to flagging interests, since it supplied them with writings on various subjects not covered in their field of training. The book attracted many new and welcome friends. The newest member of the publications family, The Pitt Capsule was recognized as outstanding in its field by students, professional pharmacists, and the faculty. First row: M. Adelson, P.

The group's main purpose is to sing at the weekly Chapel service on Wednesdays. They also give concerts in Pittsburgh and elsewhere and present a weekly Sunday television broadcast over KDKA-TV. The organization's social calendar was a full one. They held an annual banquet in November, a picnic at the director's residence in June, a senior tea, and a spring dinner dance sponsored by Mrs. Heinz. Last year the Choir appeared on TV for the first time in a coast-to-coast hookup. They made a five minute film strip in the Chapel which was presented on two Heinzsupported shows at Christmas, "Studio 57" and "Captain Gallant."

This discussion series, featuring prominent guests to be quizzed by a student panel, was only one part of MDA's five-fold program. The Pitt Cross-Examination Tournament in December climaxed an intercollegiate program of 400 debates and 25 major trips. The Association ran their annual high school debate clinic in January, through which 35 schools were visited. Three meetings a week were devoted to an intramural program of practice debates, speeches, and reports on trips. The fifth point on the schedule was a service club program, taking these intramural debates to 35 local organizations. First row: R. Newman, E. Einbach, C. Zukowski, D. Levitt, I. Bloom, P.

Four members of the Glee Club "tune up" before singing at the annual Christmas program held at Stephen Foster Memorial. The tenor section of Men's Glee Club, harmonizes to one of the popular melodies sung at the annual Chancellor's Reception in the Commons Room. The Pitt Men's Glee Club is the all-male singing group on campus. It is under the direction-and has been for the last nine years-of David G. Weiss. Since it was first organized over sixty-six years ago, the Glee Club has grown into a singing group of more than fifty men. Any man who has an interest in the organization and an amount of singing ability may have an audition with the director. The men practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to be able to sing at such important University functions as the Chancellor's Reception and the Mid-Year Commencement. Once each year they also hold a spring banquet and take a tour through the East. Last year the men went on a tour which took them to Boston, where they had a good time, and above all"sang to their heart's content!" MEN'S GLEE CLUB Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Director Mark M.

To promote an interest among University students in the living theatre and drama is the aim of Pitt Players. From the wit and humor of the American theatre, the students working on Pitt Players have tried to bring laughter and comedy to the audience in "Bernardine" and "Mr. Roberts." A well performed and well planned year came to an interesting conclusion with Shaw's "Pygmalion." During this excellent year, the "Madwomen of Chaillot" gave the audience a change of pace with this eerie and mysterious drama. Along with a reception after each opening night performance, a film classics movie night, an annual banquet with the technicians, business and production staffs, student and faculty administrators, ended the social and dramatic season for Pitt Players. ...

Nancy Donaldson All types of classical music is the fare of Women's Choral. While the group tries to further interest in choral work, they succeeded this year in making up a program which was pleasant and varied enough to please the most earweary listener. After an interview with the choral director, approved members soon became engrossed in singing in the Chapel. At a spring Chapel concert, they came forth with a brilliant rendition of the famous Gregorian chant "Stabat Mater." They were accompanied by a stringed quartet. Earlier in the year the group performed at Beaux Arts. They also went on many tours to entertain at veteran's hospitals, army hospitals, and many civic groups. Besides a picnic in the spring, a workshop for members, and attempts at a choral camp, members of two years were awarded keys for their outstanding work. These members of choral are practicing for their annual Christmas program which they put on for the benefit of the University. 219 Under the direction of Philip Kniseley, the Women's Choral helps to entertain at the Beaux Arts program held at Stephen Foster Memorial.

To enlarge the scope of speech activities throughout the University and to encourage women to participate in discussion, debate, poetry reading, and radio activities in the University is the purpose of the Women's Speech Association. The group welcomes to membership any woman interested in speech activities. The group participates in such activities as debate tournaments, radio broadcasts over WMCK, and programs for high school assemblies and service groups. Each year the Association presents a Beaux Arts Show for freshman women in Foster Memorial as well as a women's poetry reading program. Among the debating awards won by the Women's Speech Association during the past year was second place in the Carnegie Tech Annual Tartan Tournament and first place in the Westminster Novice Tournament.

Engineering and Mines Cabinet got off to a high speed start in the social swirl with its Fall Ball, held at West View Park's Danceland during the first weekend in November. Four hundred couples waltzed, mamboed, and bunny-hopped the whole evening to the razzledazzle and swing upbeats of Bill LeRoy and his enthusiastic orchestra. To say the men and their pretty dates had a good time is indeed an understatement. This first of the Cabinet's social functions reached its climax of the evening when a couple was chosen to receive the special door prizes. The man and woman were presented with an electric shaver and a portable radio, respectively. All in all, every member of the Fall Ball was convinced that this first affair of the year was the best ever. Door prize winners received a portable radio and an electric razor. The engineers wined, dined, and danced. CHRISTMAS BALL The Commons Room provided the impressive setting for the annual Christmas Ball, one of Pitt's traditional affairs. Girls in their whispering gowns and men in their formal attire gave an additional elegance to the majestic hall, decked at this time of year with dark green holly and yew. What the atmosphere did not give to this Ball, the season of the holidays did-thus assuring the many couples who attended an experience they would always remember as one of the most exciting in their years as undergraduates. But medieval grandeur was not the only influence felt that night. The air was full of the music of the latest hits, and they mixed nostalgically with the more familiar and time-honored Christmas carols. Yes, the night was a romantic one, the orchestra as smooth as a gold satin slipper. It was just the right touch to put students in the mind for peace on earth. Bright and dark colors flash through the Commons Room. Holly and mistletoe present a romantic atmosphere for the dancing couples. When not dancing, the couples rested near the fireplaces. Couples whirled past the brightly decorated trees. 228 ~FvtGNf 1 \T I The William Penn ballroom was barely large enough to hold the large group that attended. INTERFRATERNITY BALL The ballroom of the William Penn Hotel was the colorful background of the Interfraternity Ball, held February first, the last day of the fall semester exam inations. Yet, according to the happy faces at the dance, the exams by that night were a thing of the past, and students seemed in a mood to have a little fun between semesters. And they certainly did. The biggest event of the evening was the crowning of the Queen of the I.F. Ball. This year the coveted award went to Eleanor Leslie. Further entertainment was whipped up by the Mellowlrks, who literally stopped all action on the dance floor when they got to singing a little Rock 'n' Roll. Another part of the festive evening was the pres entation of the Scholarship Trophy, given to Phi The Mellowlarks rocked and rolled their way to the popularity of the crowd. Epsilon Pi for its members' high grades. Phi Epsilon Pi won the scholarship award. Eleanor Leslie was this year's I.F. Queen. 224 "Prince Charming," Dean Biddle, fits the glass slipper on Queen of Hearts candidates Bob Darras and Chris Taylor enjoy the Mexican Hat Dance.

These were the questions and the guesses that flew around campus like scattered Valentines during the few days before Pitt's annual Heart Hop, held in the Schenley Park Hotel. The night of the dance, all contestants stuck out their feet for the careful scrutiny of the foot-sizing experts, Mr. Theodore W. Biddle, dean of men, and various shoe salesmen who were drafted for this very special job. After much foot work, the experts came up with the perfect fit-Miss Elaine Kalaras. It certainly was a sudden and happy revelation for Elaine, who almost upon the spot was crowned Pitt's Queen of Hearts. The Dean of Men, playing the role of a gallant Prince Charming, danced the first waltz of an almost endless round that lasted well into the gay February night. The Queen of Hearts, Miss Elaine Kalaras. 225 SX.4 'S N GREEKS WHAT IS A SORORITY? To many, a sorority is just a group of girls but... it is more than that. A sorority is a happy experience that its girls will remember for a lifetime. Many of the girls themselves look upon a sorority as the inseparable bond that joins one with the other. There are not many places where girls of different backgrounds can say to each other, "We are one. You can come to me any time and without fear or doubt say,'Will you help me?' " The pin that a sorority girl wears is an emblem of distinction; it is worn with pride. Whether the group in which she is a member is large or small, she wears their emblem. She is their representative. She tries to the best of her ability to fulfil the aims of her group. Through the years of her undergraduate days, she is a source of cheer to her sisters. She likes her friends, her sorority and her school. SORORITIES ALPHA DELTA PI The Women's Guilds profited greatly from the assistance of Alpha Delta Pi last year. Their president, Jody McIlvain, was choral guild adviser, and Annabel Fawcett headed the Twelfth Floor Guild. Other influential Alpha Delta Pis included Lucy Tiberio, WSGA representative for Panhellenic Council, Sandra Johnston, member of debate and women's speech, and Ann DeGraw, member of Cwens. The group as a whole participated actively in the Greek Week competition. They hammered nails and cut out chicken wire for their front, "Flying High," and they joined with Sigma Alpha Epsilon in brushing black paint onto their float, "Tar Baby." They sponsored a black and white formal in December and gave several tea dances during the year. The Alpha Delta Pi local project was to stuff animals, dolls for Children's Hospital.

ALPHA EPSILON PHI Disney's dog, "Pluto" won over the judges in Alpha Epsilon Phi's "Stunt Night" skit, and the skit in turn won over the real judges for a second place trophy. One week later, the Pitt chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi combined forces with the Tech chapter for a gala Hallowe'en party. The two also held a dessert bridge together to celebrate their Founders Day. One of the sorority's most unusual dances was their Barn Dance and they held a spring formal and Seniors' Day Luncheon as well. Last year many children benefited from the services of Alpha Epsilon Phi. They supported a war orphan and took time to carry on an active correspondence with him. Another project was a Christmas party for orphans from various homes around Pittsburgh.

A YEAR AT PITT TI-“ROUGH TI-"E EYES OF THE OWL Selecting the highlights of a year is a difficult task. An editor must sift the important happenings from the trivial occurrences; the interesting events from the uninteresting incidents. VVhat events are meaningful to some may be of no im- portance to others. How is it possible to pick out these features? The best way is to watch the stu- dents; their expressions, happy or indifferent; their enthusiasm over the different events. These people called students are the best judges. Nobody liked registration. It was a gruelling race to obtain class cards, fill out forms, and pay tuition. The seniors moaned but the fact that only spring registration was left cheered them. Be- wildered, the freshman plodded through it. The student body deluged the faculty and advisors with questions concerning classes, tuition, and credits needed for graduation. They answered with smiles, chuckling comments, and sometimes blushingly with, “I just don’t know.” Some had to ponder over schedules . . . Others became angry when they didn't receive the right class . . . 18 Still others were completely confused. BETA SIGMA OMICRON Beta Sigma Omicron celebrated its twentyfifth year on campus with a Silver Anniversary Tea. Through these twenty-five years, the sorority has successfully aimed at seeking friendship and stimulating group activities. These activities marked every season in the Beta calendar. In the fall, they entered the float parade and Stunt Night competition and held bowling parties. They celebrated Christmas with an orphans' party and a sorority party, and they greeted spring with picnics and a dinner dance. Their main project was supporting the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County, Kentucky, which has very limited facilities for building and supplies. Beta Sigma Omicron national headquarters are now in Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh alumnae hold two national offices, president and treasurer.

In a successful year for this top sorority, Chi Omegas were represented in nearly every phase '$ of campus activity. The OWL, W.S.G.A. Commission, Student Congress, Mortar Board, and Heinz Chapel e Choir were only a few organizations in which B Chi Os were outstanding. They had a wide variety of social functions 4 which included a faculty tea, a winter house party, a spring formal, and a Founders Day Banquet. The members also participated in a large num-r ber of service projects during the past year. They sponsored a discussion for Panhellenic on future sorority housing, awarded a scholarship to the outstanding woman majoring in political science, and held two parties for the children of the St. Peter's Home. Oficers: Treasurer Janet Grenfell, Secretary Anna Mae Mervosh, Vice President Bea Pellegrino, President Barbara Pancoast.

They proved their campus leadership during Greek Week by capturing three first place tro phies: for participation, Homecoming front, and a Stunt Night skit, and a third place prize for their float. Individual leadership was ably furnished by Emily English and LaVerne Dunten, Mortar Board members, and Dorothy Tear, head cheer leader. Cultural meetings fitted into the Tri-Delta's program of broadening their moral and in tellectual life. They rounded out this schedule with a Founders Day Banquet, Pine Party, Pansy breakfast, two formal dances, tea dances, a benefit bridge, and a bazaar.

The sorority also placed in the house decoration contest with "Pitt Dwarfs SMiami." Other DZ social activities included a scavenger hunt, a spring formal, a square dance, a picnic, and tea dances. At Christmas, Delta Zeta joined with Theta Chi and entertained deaf children with a lunch and a grab-bag ceremony. Last year the sorority successfully realized its aim: to maintain a high scholastic average on campus and remain active in campus activities. Rosie Laurito was president of the Senior Class, Nancy Parks was recording secretary of WSGA, Mary Vichich was guild chairman, five girls were members of Mortar Board, five were in Heinz Chapel Choir, and many were members of both Quo Vadis and Cwens.

Last year the Thetas had four senior mentors and one Cwen. Peggy Brooks was a member of Quo Vadis, Eloise France was Panhellenic treasurer, Dolly Swider was customs chairman, and Dolores McCabe was activities chairman for WSGA, member of both Quax and Quo Vadis, and Thyrsa Amos awardee. During Greek Week, the Thetas entertained the Homecoming crowd at an open house fea turing a jazz band. The guests entered the house through an array of spry little figures in a "Jim miny Cricket" theme. Theta also joined with Pi Lambda Theta to make a float, "Peter Pan," and they took part in Stunt Night with a clever skit based on "Cinderella." For its outside projects, Kappa Alpha Theta contributed to the Institute of Logopedics (speech defects) and supported the Children's Home.

The Kappas also held a share in social honors. Their lively cheerleader, Eleanor Leslie, was Homecoming Queen, and their "canine" house front placed second in Greek Week competition. To encourage cooperation with the University, the Kappas and Delts held a faculty reception.

Claudia, whose hometown is Brisbane, Australia, came to Pitt in order to study with Dr. Salk. The scientific bent of many Phi Mus is shown by the number who have been tapped to scientific honoraries in the past. Last year, Jane Paladin was a member of Beta Beta Beta, the biology honorary, which has included Phi Mus for two consecutive years. Science was not the only inclination of this active sorority. Their athletic interests were furthered by several bowling parties, and they enjoyed a variety of dances-from square dances and monthly tea dances to two formals.

PHI SIGMA SIGMA A bucket brigade of Phi Sigma Sigmas gathered at the corner of Forward and Murray this spring for their annual "Car Wash." The girls scrubbed and rubbed all day to earn money for the Rheumatic Fever Drive. They also sponsored a big rummage sale for the same purpose. The Phi Sigs put aside their blue jeans to participate in many of the social events of the year. They entered a skit, "Old King Cole," in Stunt Night, joined the Greek Sing with "Silver Bells," celebrated their Founder's Day, and gave a service at Hillel. Their dances included a winter formal, a barn dance, and tea dances. Three of the Phi Sigs were senior mentors, Carol Snider was a member of Mortar Board, Harriet Newman was on the Junior Class Cabinet, and Hannah Metzger was the corresponding secretary for WSGA. Offcers: Treasurer Sonja Herz, President Carol Snider, Vice President Sondra Stutz, Secretary Marilyn Sable.

Their first big mark for the year was the prize-winning singles float, "Snow White," which paraded to first place in the Homecoming competition last October. Several of the sorority members held outstanding positions on the Pitt campus. Bunny Reingold was vice president of the junior class, Beverly Levin was a senior mentor, and Lenore Hirsch was chairman of Religion-in-Life Week. All the Sigma Delta Taus devoted many hours to reading to hospital patients, donating to blood research, and entertaining orphans at a Christmas party. The group entertained their parents with a Mothers' Day Luncheon and a "Daddy-Daughter" party; and amused themselves at a dinner dance in December as well as a picnic in May.

SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA A "beautiful lady" motif was employed by Sigma Sigma Sigma in their Greek Week activities. They constructed "Lady and the Tramp" for a house front and joined with the gentlemen of Lambda Chi for a Homecoming float, "Cinderella." They also boasted one of the five finalists for Homecoming Queen, Mardi Schomaker. The Tri-Sigs held various affairs to enable the members to fulfill the sorority's goal of making true and lasting friendships with one another. Among these parties were several tea dances, a spring formal, and a mothers' tea. Several of the girls actively contributed their services to the University. Abbie Gale was secretary of Student Congress, and Pat Garland was a senior member. The chapter also contributed to the Robbie Page Research Fund. Officers: Housing Chairman Mardi Schomaker, Vice President Arlene Morrisey, President Ginger O'Connor, Secretary Joanne Lindsay. This gang is an appreciative audience. 253 It was wet when they left. But even with registration, some of the freshmen did receive a chance to enjoy themselves. Under the sponsorship of the YMCA, a group of fresh- men, camp counselors and upperclassmen drove in buses to Camp Kon-O-Kwee. The freshmen were looking forward to the short vacation but the weatherman wasn’t cooperative—it rained the entire trip. In spite of the rain, the boys had a good time. They had a chance to learn some of the school songs, meet many of their fellow students, and be- come acquainted with the cheers for the first foot- ball game. But what the heck! They still had fun. And it rained and rained and rained. THETA PHI ALPHA The Pitt chapter of the Theta Phi Alpha sorority joined with its Alumnae Association in acting as hostesses for the Eastern Province, which was held in Pittsburgh this year. The four chapters at this convention joined together in promoting the main aim of the sorority, a feeling of closeness and unity within the group. Throughout the year, the sorority gave lodge parties, tea dances, parents' teas, and two formals. They entered into the spirit of Greek Week with a menacing house front: "Blacken the Eyes of Miami." At Christmas, they dressed up dolls and gave them to orphans at the annual "Doll Party." Theta Phi Alphas center many of their activities around Catholic interests. Every month they hold Communion breakfasts, and they nationally support the Glenmary Missions.

They placed second for their Homecoming float with the Sigma Chis, second in participation, and third for their Stunt Night skit. "These Greek Week honors pointed the way for a year-long demonstration of their willingness to work together. In the IF-Panhellenic Sing competition, Zeta Tau Alpha copped the first place award with their melodic rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." The Zetas also effectively demonstrated their individual qualifications. Shirley Backstrom was president of Panhellenic Council, Sue Biddle was assistant chairman of the "Block P" committee, five of the girls were Cwens, and five were members of Mortar Board.

They wholeheartedly supported human relations in New York; a health project in Mississippi and Tuskegee, Alabama; a housing project; the Ethel Hedgeman Leyle Fund; a scholarship fund; and ACHR. In addition they held a benefit dance and contributed to the Red Cross, Community Chest, Hill City, and YWCA. In spite of these numerous charitable activities, Alpha Kappa Alpha did not neglect the social side of sorority life. They entered a float, "Alice in Wonderland," in the Homecoming parade, held a Thanksgiving dance, a Christmas formal, and a cotillion.

The combined Delta chapters raised $10,000 for a Relief to Haiti fund. In addition to this, the Pitt chapter did volunteer work at the NAACP, held a Job Opportunity Clinic, and contributed to the Traveling Library and the Jabberwock scholarship fund. A Back-to-School Round-Up at the Pig Skin Punt in September was the first event in the Delta c social program. They followed up the football angle during Greek Week with their Stunt Night presentation, "How to Play Football." Other af"fairs included a "Round The World with Delta" party, a Chuckwagon Jamboree, and a hayride. The sorority was also musically inclined. They won second prize in the NAACP Songfest and participated in the IF-Panhellenic Sing.

It is more than a simple dictionary definition, certainly: the condition or relation of brotherhood -though this is the key to a fraternity's significance. At Pitt fraternity life complements socially the academic stimulus of the classroom. Fraternity life molds each mem ber's character, friendliness, citizenship, and social aware ness. These spheres of influence are the fraternity's testing ground. Here is where the individual member is tested and proved. Through rushing programs, initiations, banquets, and the constructiveness of Help Week, fraternity men show themselves emotionally mature and well enough adjusted to realize that work and fun go together in a fraternity. This fact is important to anyone aware of the potentialities that may come from the blending of the two, as shown in each of Pitt's nineteen social fraternities. -I:RATERNITIES DELTA SIGMA PHI I This year Delta Sigma Phi continued its growth as a leading fraternity on the Pitt campus. The Omega chapter endeavored to train its men academically, socially, and organizationally. Academically, the Omega chapter had the highest scholarship average of the many Delta Sig chapters throughout the country. Delta Sigma Phi copped top honors in Greek. Week by capturing the first-place participation V r trophy. They also placed first with their float which depicted a lively "Reluctant Dragon," and they took the third-place award for their Stunt Night skit. Not only was the fraternity outstanding as a group, but its individual men were highly integrated in school affairs. One of its most prominent members was Dimitri Petro who served as President of Men's Council. SOfficers: Emilio Fastuca, secretary; Frank Puente, president; Jim Foody, vice president; Dick Snyder, treasurer.

It was one of the Very few times that the football season started before registration. Pitt students wanted to catch a glimpse of their team under the tutorship of a new coach—J0hnny l\Iichelosen. The weather was warm and the team was hot. As the sultry weather sent shirt sleeves rolling up and the sweat pouring down, Pitt trampled a comparatively soft California team 27-7. Pitt had begun its season with a strong showing. The stu- dents yelled and cheered. From the press box, the reporters fingered their typewriters and clicked out stories that Pitt was returning to the “big times” and that this was the year for a winning season. ’ pa “What do you mean, ‘Yea California!’ Pitt is our team “There he goes again. That makes it twenty seven points.” The day was hot. 21 GAMMA SIGMA CHAPTER The Delts came up with a winner with their portrayal of "Donald Duck." A reflection of some Delt activity... First row: R.

In fall rushing the Delts put their shoulder to the task, resulting in one of the largest pledge classes they have had in recent years and the largest of any fraternity last fall. Scholastically, they managed to have more students attaining a two-point grade average in proportion to the other fraternities on campus. Improvement-wise the men in MGs sponsored a.$3,000 redecorating and furnishing project on their second floor. They were not out of the limelight as far as social activity goes, either. They held a KappaDelt reception for the faculty, an Alumni Dance, a Christmas formal, and the year was climaxed by their big spring weekend at the Summit Hotel.

A game room had been finished the previous year, and the basement proved to be a good place to spend leisure hours. The pledges copped honors this year by capturing a "Welcome to Morgantown" sign which they prominently displayed at the annual football clash with West Virginia. Bob Sedler commanded respect as Student Congress prexy and was active in Men's Debate, and Druids. Arnie Silver ably filled the position of student publications comptroller. The KNs held many social affairs, the most outstanding being the Thanksgiving and spring formals. Date parties were held at the house about twice monthly and many stag events were on the calendar.

PHI DELTA THETA When the "Good Ship Phi" docked at its harbor in September, forty-two Phi Delts swarmed out to pirate another great year at Pitt. The first job of seeking new recruits was handled more than successfully with twenty-eight men pledged. In IF events Phi Delta Theta continued to place high. Among other trophies they copped second place for their Stunt Night performance, and third for their Homecoming decorations. Noted for their successful parties, the Phis highlighted the year with Thanksgiving and Christmas banquets accompanied by lots of seasonal cheer, the Miami Triad, and spring formal weekend. The Phi Delts had many outstanding leaders on campus-Milt Emery, ODK and outstanding athlete, David Bender, president of Druids, Jim Coull, Army cadet colonel, and Terry Clark, freshman college president. Ofcers: Al Graham, vice president; Tom Kahl, treasurer; Pete Glagola, president; Jim Lassport, secretary. "Big Jim knows the words!" 269 - ZETA CHAPTER PHI EPSILON PHI "Spirit" is a word with definite connotations for Phi Epsilon Pi. In social activity, politics, and Interfraternity contests, the Phi Eps continually showed up with a great deal of purpose and en thusiasm. Following the example of the Pitt Varsity team, Phi Epsilon Pi came through as an unusually strong contender in IF football last season. When Homecoming rolled around, they bent their ach-. ing backs to digging holes and painting figures to win first place for house decorations in fraternity competition and to claim the coveted Alumni Chain for the best decorations on campus. The Phi Eps blasted off their social activity with a Monte Carlo night, costumed for a Monster Rally, and donned tuxes for the highlighted winter formal and the spring formal weekends.

After the fall fraternity rushing, the Fiji's highlighted their social activity with the gala fall formal. The Phi Gams decorated their house for their annual Fiji Island party. The Orchid party for rushees and their spring formal were other outstanding events. The Phi Gams were noted for the prowess of some of their members in Varsity athletics. Three of the brothers had tumbled onto the gymnastics team while three others tackled positions on the football roster. Joe Fenwick held one of the top scoring positions in Varsity basketball. Two Fijis held leading positions on publications-George Fowkes, business manager of the Pitt News and Jim Howard, co-editor of the Polaris.

PI KAPPA ALPHA Since 1934, when the Gamma Sigma Chapter was founded, Pi Kappa Alpha has established itself as a strong fraternity at Pitt. From the early fall to the late spring, the PiKAs had a whirl of social activity. Their winter formal, the "Dream Girl Dance," and a formal weekend in June were peaks in their social program. Between times the calendar was circled with frequent lodge parties, house dances, and pledge parties. Their aim, "to promote the welfare and development of its members and of the fraternity," led them into many activities at school. They took an active role in IF athletics, Greek Week, and Spring Festival. One of their most active men on campus was John King, president of Interfraternity Council. Yet all the brothers worked hard to make the year one of the best in their history. Oficers: John Staiger, treasurer; Bill Dempsey, president; Gerry Fisher, fifth man.

PI LAMBDA PHI Uniqueness is a good word to describe the Gamma Sigma Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi, one of the largest fraternities at Pitt. They are the only fraternity at the University which has a complete basketball court. They also have an outdoor patio which was put to good use during the year for their numerous social and group functions. Pi Lam's outstanding men included Leo Zelkowitz, business manager of the Owl, Larry Miller, secretary of Interfraternity Council, Sheldon Monsein, Maccabean Olympics swimming champ, and Paul Kramer, deputy wing commander in Air Force R.O.T.C. Each year they have participated in a major charitable project. Recently they collected books for the Veterans Hospital. Altogether they gave over 1000 books to the veterans.

They went a long way in promoting a prime aim of their fraternity "to form a strong bond between thousands of college men." They started sponsoring the "Friday-at-Four" parties. They invited the students of Pitt, Car negie Tech, Chatham College, MAt. Mercy, and Duquesne to these late afternoon get-togethers. Life at the house of the lions proved to be. ex citing also. They danced their way through many evenings at fraternity parties. The main at tractions of the year, however, were the spring formal and the Sweetheart Dance. During the year the SAEs participated in sev eral charitable projects. They held a gala Christ mas party for an orphans home and aided the Western Pennsylvania School for the Blind.

Though the fraternity held a social event almost every week, the calendar was highlighted by the Miami Triad dance in December and their annual Sweetheart Weekend held in June. Head cheerleader Chet Zukowski was CoChairman of Greek Week and a member of Student Congress, ODK, Druids and Men's Debate. Ron Amalong did an outstanding job as chairman of the newly-formed Block P flashcard section. The Pitt Chest campaign was chaired by Ky Kylander, who was also active in the YMCA.

Hayrides, formal dances, and informal house parties were held as social functions of the chapter. At their "Carnation Dance," they named their fraternity sweetheart. Theta Chi supported the IF projects by collecting canned goods and helping the S-Award fund drive. They also held a party for a group of orphans at Christmas. One of their major projects was to redecorate their chapter house. All year they devoted their spare time to painting, carpentry and purchasing new furniture to refurbish their house on Bayard Street. Pledges and actives alike worked on this long-range project.

During the school year the Alpha Phi Alphas gave assistance to the Community Chest, YMCA, and the Home for Aged Colored Women. They had cleaning projects at the Home for the Underprivileged and at Christmas prepared food baskets and sang for this organization. They also took an active part on campus. A fraternity smoker, the "Alphas' Autumn Hop," and a Christmas and New Year's cabaret were social highlights of the year.

PHI KAPPA Phi Kappa is a social fraternity of Roman Catholic men at Pitt chartered "to promote social and intellectual programs among its members to identify students and alumni more closely with their college and to cultivate a spirit of loyalty to their Alma Mater." The Phi Kaps attempted this in various ways. They sponsored various charitable projects among which were a Christmas party for orphans and participation in I.F.'s canned goods drive. This year they scheduled many social events. They highlighted their calendar with the winter formal, the spring formal, and the Sweetheart Party, where they crowned their fraternity sweetheart of the year. Many Phi Kappas were active on campus.

PENNSYLVANIA GAMMA CHAPTER SIGMA PHI EPSILON "It's time for a change" seemed to be the prevailing sentiment around Sigma Phi Epsilon as the new school year rolled around. Pennsylvania Gamma began at a vigorous pace by moving into a new house at 2628 Forbes Street in August. The campaign started with an ambitious remodeling job. After a few weeks, they had completed painting the first two floors, giving a new look to the house. During the remainder of the year they put forth their efforts to converting the basement into a playroom and chapter room. Sigma Phi Epsilon figured high in social activity. During the year they managed to have a party nearly every week including such main events as the Oriental Ball, several smorgasbords, and the spring formal where they crowned their sweetheart.

Since then they have been actively engaged in rebuilding their fraternity. Their membership is continuing to grow after several semesters of intense rushing. They also are improving and remodeling their house on Melwood Street, and striving to raise their scholastic attainment. During the past year the Sigma Pis enjoyed a full schedule of social events. Their annual func- -.-. tion, the Celler-Dweller party, was a smash hit. Just as successful were the South-Sea Island Parties. The best remembered weekend of the year was the Orchid Ball held in the spring. In campus activities they were led by Charles Dahlinger, vice-president of the college sopho- " more class.

Pitt's whole athletic set-up is beginning to show the results that the department has been striving for. The football and basketball teams both had their best seasons since the late 1930's. The track, soccer, cross-country, wrestling, swimming-in fact every Panther entry in the field of intercollegiate athletics posted records the University can be proud of. This was no accident. It was the result of a carefully worked out and carefully followed plan, for which the department deserves no small amount of praise.

The last Pitt squad to win this award was the 1937 team, which was quarterbacked by Johnny Michelosen, the present Panther coach. The award committee gave the honor to the Panthers because of "their tremendous improvement in the last half of the season." Navy, who defeated Pitt earlier in the season, was the runnerup in the balloting.

In a manner reminiscent of the brute power tactics of the Sutherland era, the Panthers opened their 1955 season with a 21-7 victory over California's Golden Bears. Using the airlanes only as a last resort, Coach John Michelosen's prodigies ripped the California forward wall to shreds. The Blue and Gold picked up 274 yards on the ground while limiting "their West Coast opponents to only 29 yards rushing. The Panthers started slow, but once they got rolling it was all over. They spotted the Bears a seven point lead and tied the count just before time ran out in the first half, Sophomore Dick Bowen and senior Bobby Grier each crossed the goal line twice to share scoring honors.

Syracuse Crushed, 22-12; Panthers Rally In Last Half Continuing their winning ways-and their penchant for coming from behind-the Panthers chalked up their second straight victory of the season 22-12, over the Syracuse Or angemen in rain-drenched Archibald Stadium. The Orangemen completely dominated the first half of play even though they trailed 7-6 at the intermission. The second half proved to be completely reversed, however, as the Blue and Gold came to life to score two touchdowns and a safety while limiting Syracuse to a single consolation score. Pitt's defensive line played another great game, limiting the opposition to only six yards rushing in the second half and going through its second game without allowing a touch down on the ground. "That's the way. Let's keep it up." "You fellows can do better than this." 308 "What's the down?" Oklahoma Humbles Pitt For First Loss, 26-14 Panther gridders learned one thing in losing their first game of the season to the powerful Oklahoma Sooners-you can't spot a team like the Sooners 19 points and beat them. The locals came close, however, and it appeared that they might win the game until shortly before the end when the Sooners put it on ice with a touchdown that made the score read 26-14. Oklahoma dominated the game, rolling up 357 yards on the ground to somewhat dull the luster of the Panther fore ward wall which had allowed less than half that amount of yardage to be gained in the first two games. Quarterback Corny Salvaterra led the Blue and Gold in the offense de partment, displaying brilliant running form and completing Corny Salvaterra fires a pass against Oklahoma. e o eight out of eighteen passes. Panther Offense Fails; Middies Victors, 21-0 Revenge minded Navy handed the Panthers their second straight setback by completely stymieing the local's offense in the process of registering a 21-0 victory. Pitt started out as if they were going to make a runaway out of the game by returning the opening kickoff to the Navy four, but lost the ball on downs and from then on it was all Navy. After this early drive the locals never even threatened. The Middies' line stopped the Panther's powerful ground game and allowed Salvaterra to get off only one pass, which was intercepted. Time after time the hard charging Navy linemen dropped Blue and Gold ball carriers in their own backfield for huge losses. One of the few bright spots for Pitt was the sensational punting of Bill Schmidt, who averaged 42 yards per kick on the muddy field. Steve Petro briefs Charlie Brueckman during the Navy game.

Batter Nebraska, 21-7 Glad to be playing in the stadium for the first time in a month, the Panther gridders celebrated by downing Nebraska 21-7. As usual, the visitors scored first, but their lead was short lived. The locals had little trouble in running through the Cornhuskers line and scored two quick touchdowns. Pete Neft, playing at quarterback as a result of a personal shakeup, engineered the Panthers first two scores and played a superb game both on offense and defense. The entire team seemed to respond to the local surroundings and they played more as they had in the beginning of the season. Lou Cimarolli, Corky Cost, and Tom Jenkins, aided by a charged-up offensive line, sparked the Panther's running attack.

Pitt Romps Over Duke For Major Upset, 26-7 Before stunned oddsmakers and a partisan Duke crowd, the Panthers pulled one of the season's major upsets by dropping the Blue Devils from the ranks of the undefeated, 96-7, to register their fourth triumph of the season. Playing as if they never had read the pre-game reports, the Blue and Gold completely dominated the second half to turn the contest into a rout. Trailing 7-6 at the half, the Michelosen men began to move in the third quarter and put the game out of reach. Corny Salvaterra and Pete Neft, alternating at quarter back, mixed their plays beautifully to completely befuddle the Dixie defenders. Panther end Joe Walton caught two touchdown passes tying a Pitt record in that department, while Neft and Dick Bowen led the ground attack.

Hurricane Hits Stadium; Miami Whips Pitt, 21-7 "Hard luck" Miami finally erupted and played up to its full potential as it put the third set-back on the Panther's record by scoring an easy 21-7 victory in rain-drenched Pitt Stadium. Pitt showed once again that it definitely could not get its ground attack operating efficiently on a wet field. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, weren't hindered by the wet ball at all. They passed and used tricky ball handling plays all afternoon without losing a fumble. In fact, they put on just about the best display of razzle-dazzle ball handling ever seen in the stadium. The only consolation for the thirty thousand faithful fans who braved the elements was the superb pre-game show pre pared for Pitt's homecoming celebration. Lou Cimarolli is brought down short of a first down by the massive Miami line.

The Cavaliers, winners in only one of their six previous games, played better than they had all year, and for a time "it appeared that they might pull a stunning upset. However, quarterback Pete Neft and end Joe Walton got together in the last quarter on a couple of pass plays to assure a victory over the stubborn southerners. The victory was the Panthers' fifth and assured them of doing no worse than breaking even for the season-which Swould have been the best record the B lue and G old had posted since the 1952 season.

November brought with it dropping temperatures and icy winds that sent Pitt stu- dents scurrying indoors. The logs in the fireplaces of the Commons Room burned brightly. But with it, November brought Beaux Arts Day, sponsored by the VVomen’s Speech Association. Beaux Arts Day is dedicated to the muses of music, dancing, oral reading, theatre, painting, or cartooning. It is truly an “ars pro artis” day. It is dedicated as well to the appreciation of art which surrounds the Pitt student in everyday life, especially at the University. This year the annual Beaux Arts show was presented on the stage of Foster l\'Ien1orial, following the theme of “Peanuts Comes To Pitt.” The comical little characters of Hank Schultz’s “Pea- nuts”WLucy, Schroeder, and Linus~rmade a pleasing impression on the audience. All types of songs from the early American “Spin, Spin, llly Darling Da’ughte7*” to the English “Drink: T 0 M 6 Only With Thine Eyes” were offered and sung by the \Vomen’s Choral and Varsity Quartet. The International Dance Group presented a Scottish (lance called the “Triple Sword Dance.” Finally to end the day, lVI r. l\IcHale and his Pitt Players gave a preview of their next play, “The Zvladwoman of (,7haill0t.” The “Triple Sword Dance” was performed as part of the Beaux Arts program.

The Blue and Gold gridders played their finest game of the year in disposing of the awesome Mounties and so impressed officials from several bowl games that a post season appearance was virtually assured them. Pete Neft played a brilliant game at quarterback to continue his "come back" story. The defensive standout was senior end John Paluck, who smashed through the huge Mountie line on numerous occasions to nail Mountaineer ball carriers. West Virginia scored its lone touchdown after time had run out and a mob of people had engulfed the field in one of the most hectic finishes ever seen in the stadium.

Panthers Blank State, 20-0, In Snow; Sugar Bowl Bound Playing flawless football on snow-covered Beaver Field, the 1955 Panthers gained revenge for three previous Pitt teams by blanking Penn State 20-0. It marked the first time in four years that a Panther crossed the Lion's goal line. Two seniors, quarterback Pete Neft and halfback Lou Cimarolli, ended their regular college careers in the traditional blaze of glory. Neft handled and passed the wet ball very well, and Cimarolli gained 70 yards rushing in eleven attempts. The big story of the game was the manner in which Pitt's hard charging line stopped State's great Lenny Moore -holding him to eleven yards in thirteen carries. The convincing win was all the Sugar Bowl committee needed to invite the Panthers to the Sugar Bowl. 316 Lou Cimarolli on the start of a twenty-four yard jaunt through the State team.

New Orleans. Louisiana. PHOTOS FOR 1956 OWL BY THOMAS C. VRANA Pitt halfback Lou Cimarolli finds a hole in the strong Georgia Tech line and picks up 10 yards. School-spirited Pitt students traveled 1500 miles to New Orleans to cheer the Panthers. Johnny Michelosen's Panther gridders started off the New Year by winning everything except the ball game from a good-and lucky-Georgia Tech team. The Panthers piled up nine more first downs than their Southern opponents and their offensive unit netted 171 more yards on the ground and through the air-but the final score still read 7-0 in favor of the Engineers from Dixie. Over eighty-thousand fans, including fourteen-hundred from Pittsburgh, witnessed one of the most exciting and hardest fought football games in the twenty-two year history of the Sugar Bowl. Tech capitalized on a Pitt fumble and an interference penalty to score the game's only touchdown early in the first quarter and then concentrated on trying to stop the powerful Panther ground attack. After the Tech score, Corny Salvaterra led the Panthers on a 79 yard drive that was stopped on.the Georgia one yard line as the half came to an end. The second half was almost a continuation of the first. The big Panther line opened up huge holes for Pete Neft, Bobby Grier, Lou Cimarolli and Salvaterra as the Blue and Gold repeatedly moved down the field, only to be stopped short of the goal-line by the stubborn Engineers. The officials get together in a huddle at halftime. Pitt Wins - Statistics Ga. Tech Pitt.

This year's record was almost exactly the reverse of last season's and indicates that the Panthers are on the way up in the court game. Sparked by the sensational play of their two scoring twins-Bob Lazor and John Riser-the Panthers outscored such perennially tough teams as Michigan, Virginia, Utah State, and Yale as well as posting double wins over Carnegie Tech, Westminster, and Penn State. Lazor and Riser, who both averaged over twenty points per game, were aided by Captain Joe Fenwick, the only senior on the starting quintet, and Julius Pegues and Chuck Hursh, a talented pair of sophomores. Other members of Coach Bob Timmons' squad who saw plenty of action were Frank Zimmovan-one of only two seniors on the squad-John Lanieve, Fred Yee, Howard Lester, Eugene Cercone, Barry Brautigam, Phil Kleiman, and Dennis Dorman. Joining the eleven returnees from this season will be the members of Pitt's freshman squad which dropped only three contests during the season. Leading the frosh were a trio of All-State selections-Don Hennon, Floyd Simpson, and Dave Sawyer. John Riser (30), Pitt forward, takes rebound from a host of Carnegie Tech Tartans.

The Panthers scored 55 goals while limiting the opposition to only 19 goals in twelve contests, with Duke being the only team to shut-out the locals. Bob Cherry, Jerry Bresanelli, and Sami Hazou were the leading scorers for the Bemismen while Norm Zanardelli and Mike Culhane, who was out half of the season with injuries, were the defensive bulwarks. Duke, Navy, Penn State, and Nofith Carolina State were the only teams to top the Panthers in their second season of varsity action. All of the other opponents, including Ohio State, Case, Denison, Franklin and Marshall, and Slippery Rock lost by large margins. With losses from graduation not expected to be too heavy, and with the finest freshmen soccer squad Pitt has had since it resumed the sport, chances for the future look even brighter. 329 CROSS COUNTRY 1955 SEASON RECORD Pitt 15 Geneva 50 Pitt 15 Slippery Rock 50 Pitt 24 Quantico Marines 37 Pitt 30 Villanova 27 Pitt 27 Army 34 Manhattan 68 Pitt 21 Penn State 40 Pitt 15 Georgetown 45 Pitt 19 Ohio State 44 IC4A's First Place Pitt runners are ahead at the top of Flagstaff Hill in their meet with Geneva.

Saunders. Coach Carl Olson's harriers did something no other Panther cross-country team has been able to do-win the IC4A championships. This marked a fitting climax for the runners who posted an eight and one record over the season. They beat such powers as Ohio State, Penn State, Army, Manhattan and the star-studded Quantico Marines without much trouble, and bowed only to Villanova by the close margin of 30-27. Captain Arnie Sowell, Pitt's most renowned athlete, paced the Olsonmen to most of their victories. After a slow start, Sowell regained his form and was virtually unbeatable during the regular season. He finished a close second in a field of over 300 runners in the IC4A's. Thornton Smith, Wendel Harford, Tom Jessup, Jack Shubert, Jim Moore, Dave Freas, Dan Sutter, Perry Jones, Dan O'Connor, and Ed Saunders were the other harriers to compete for the Eastern Champion Panthers this season. Coach Olson's runners ran their string of consecutive dual-meet victories to twenty, stretching back over three seasons, before losing to Villanova. However, they finished the rest of the season undefeated to once again establish their claim of being Pitt's'most successful representative in the collegiate sports field.

One of the few sure bets in the unpredictable field of sports is that the Pitt swimmers will win the Eastern Swimming Championship. For the fifth straight year they finished their season with a win at the Easterns, held this year at New York University. During the regular season they posted an 8-4 record against the best competition available. Coach Ben Grady's proteges posted triumphs over Miami, VMI, Ohio University, Syracuse, Penn, Rutgers, Lehigh, and West Virginia. They were defeated by North Carolina State, Colgate, Army, and Navy. Seniors Jim Zurcher, Hank Zentgraf, and Captain Skip Monsein were aided by Lou Durbin, Ed Robson, Tony Tresser, Warne White, Ben Sklar, Bernie Baur, Willis Weiss, Burt Marks, and Milo Fischer in compiling their winning record. Zurcher and Monsein ended their careers by winning gold medals at the Easterns for the third straight year. Zurcher has never been defeated in his specialties-the 220 and 440-yard freestyle events, while Monsein excels in the backstroke.

It eluded them, that is, until this year when they won ten straight meets-four of them by shutoutsand capped this off by winning the Eastern Championships by a narrow margin over Penn State. The season's final win over the Penn State Lions was especially sweet for the Peerymen. Twice before they had undefeated seasons within their reach only to lose to the Lions in the season's final meet. Pitt scored 249 points during the campaign while holding the opposition to only 35. Leading the grapplers were Captain Ed DeWitt, who finished his college career undefeated in dual-meet competition, Bill Hulings, Ed Peery, Vic DeFelice, Bob Bubb, Dave Johnson, Don Huff, and Ron Schrif. DeWitt, Huff, and Johnson also captured wins in the Easterns. The season proved a fitting tribute to Coach Peery, who in five years has made Pitt the top wrestling team in the country. Dave Johnson, right, demonstrates a fall position with a double-arm tie-up with body press on Ed DeWitt. 334 Ir ~'i These four Pitt wrestlers really give the stretch treatment to their room-mate Victor DeFelice.

Co-captains Dave Jacobson and Tom Klaric paced the team to single wins over Cincinnati and West Virginia and double triumphs over Washington and Jefferson, Indiana Teachers, and Geneva. They were aided by a trio of junior marksmen-James Flynn, Dick O'Reilly, and Howard Brewer. Jacobson was the high-scorer for the Panthers, consist ently shooting in the 280's-which is quite an achievement in the bulls-eye sport.

Only in their second season of varsity competition, the Panthers gave evidence of what is to come as they showed that they could hold their own with most of the leading eastern teams. Although Captain Len Reeves, Pat Hughes, Milt Emery, Noel Gillette, and Allan Humphreys have graduated the outlook for next year is bright. The sport has really caught on at Pitt and appears to be headed for success. Ca.ntin Len Reeves First row: N. Zweig, N. Gillette, D. Issacs, H. Thompson, B. Cheshelski. Second row: Coach J. Tully, A.

The Panther tumblers proved too strong for Lock Haven, West Chester, West Virginia, and Temple. They dropped a close decision to the Syracuse Orangemen and were outclassed by perennially strong Army, Navy, and Penn State. Leading scorers for the Blue and Gold were John Hammond, Tom Darling, Jim Mulvihill, Don Shima, Walt Starz, Charles Kerver, Joe Lamartine, and John Ruber. All indications point to an even better record next season since most of this year's squad plus several promising freshmen prospects will be available for action.

Chet Zukowski and his vociferous crew screamed this and a multitude of other cheers to fans from Pitt Stadium to New Orleans and back again as their contribution to the Panther's athletic renaissance. Taking their cue from the players, who finally gave them something to cheer about, the cheerleaders went all out and really had the old Sta dium rocking on Saturday afternoons. Helping the cheerleaders increase audience participation to a new high were the Panther gymnasts who performed their acrobatics along the sidelines during the games and the students participating in Block P. "Are you ready? Let's go! Hoorah, hoorah-cheer leaders!" Louise Lomnicki, Chet Zukowski, and Eleanor Leslie pause from cheering to watch the action of a Panther drive.

"Fun for every girl at Pitt" was the theme of the Women's Recreation Association schedule for 1955-56. In all of its activities, the organization aimed at promoting a spirit of fair play and giving each individual an opportunity to enjoy recreation as a whole. Group sports, individual sports, and parties were all organized and carried out enthusiastically. Back to school problems were relieved by a corn roast and a freshman party. Volleyball games started off the tournaments for the year, followed by basketball and table tennis. Once a month WRA held "Fun for Everyone" nights. A welcome for transfer students and a swimming party were two of WRA's outstanding programs. The annual carnival relays were held on the Cathedral lawn in May, and the group also sponsored a spring weekend at Oglebay Park. Volleyball games started off the tournaments sponsored by WRA.

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house really whooped it up after they became intramural, inter-fraternity, and inter-city football champs. INTRAMURALS Scattered throughout the Oakland vicinity during the school year can be found groups of students with varied equipment participating in all types of competitive sports. These students are part of an intramural program in which twelve hundred students participate. You name it, and chances are that I.M. Director Leo Bemis has it: bowling, volleyball, wrestling, squash, swimming, handball, softball, football, fencing, and many others. Highlights of the intramural season were the spirited battles for trophies in the touch football and basketball leagues. Pi Kappa Alpha defeated Delta Sigma Delta in the football finals and went on to capture the city championship with a convincing triumph over Duquesne's entry. The powerhouses of the basketball league were the Phi Gams and the Sigma Chi's from the fraternity leagues and the varsity footballers who dominated all competition in the independent leagues.

From the upper floors of the Cathedral, Heinz Chapel appeared tranquil amidst the snow-covered campus buildings. 29 VVith the passing of nineteen fifty-five into history, the new year brought with it one of the semester’s largest snow falls. The temperatures that had stayed above thirty degrees during most of the old year soon dropped to eight or nine degrees. Colds and coughs began to plague the students. Many of the people began to walk around the campus with shiny red noses betraying signs that one of the flu “bugs” had bitten them. But the snow and cold weather were sources of fun to many of the students. Unlike many others who stayed indoors, some students had snowball battles, took walks around the campus, or just went out to enjoy a few minutes of the brisk air. Figure it out for yourself...

This was the last chance for some people to finish long ignored term papers and book reports. Semester fun was over; it was time for sitting down and looking over a semester’s work. For those who had not kept up with their work, it meant going through all their books and learning; for those who had taken comprehensive notes and attended all classes, it was merely a matter of re- viewing the material. The libraries were filled with students attempt- ing to cram as much knowledge as possible before their exams. The fraternity and sorority houses were quiet.

Phone WAtkins 9-1880 357 L A N D A R K In the very beginning, when Pittsburgh was only a cluster of cabins at the Point, two dreams stirred its soul-a splendid, surging materialism, and a yearning for cultural growth. That these two have achieved a happy symbiosis is brilliantly expressed today in the Cathedral of Learning. * It could have been a temptation, in this town of teeming potentialities, to concentrate solely on the practical. Wealth always burgeoned here-in farm products, coal, iron, glass, oil, and steel. Any man with horse-sense and a right good will to work, could wrest a fortune from the wilderness, seemingly overnight. * This city was singularly blessed though, by the quality of the people who came here in search of a fuller life. They recognized early a need for the specialized type of training our industries would require. But they wished, for their sons and daughters, much more than this. With William Penn they believed that "good and commendable learning is to be preferred before wealth." * A succession of such great men-founders, trustees, chancellors, teachers, and alumni-have steered our university's destiny from the log cabin Academy of 1787 to the Cathedral of today. Under their vigil has grown up a special type of university that marries, in its wide curriculum, both the cultural and the practical. The Cathedral of Learning, itself a uniquely American architectural expression, is a symbol of a uniquely American type of education. * Also uniquely American was the early development of the food manufacturing business. For more than three generations we have been preparing ready-to-serve delicacies to save the time and effort of America's housewives. I H. J.

The new semester began with new classes, new books, new activities, and, for the girls, the opportunity to join soror- ities. At Pitt, a freshman girl may not be pledged until after her first semester. This gives the prospective rushees and the sororities a chance to meet each other through informal luncheon-dates. As February with its formal rushing period began, the rushees were deluged with offers of luncheon-dates and prospects of coming sorority parties. The groups sent in- vitations to the girls that they had met and were consider- ing for membership. During this period, the element of surprise and suspense was great. The rushee waited for her invitations and the groups waited to see which rushees would attend their parties. When the invitations were accepted, the first round of parties began. On Saturday of rushing week, the sororities prepared their bids and formal rush ended. On the follow- ing Monday, the former luncheon-dates picked up their bids and became pledges. Finally, Jackie Rice became a pledge. 32 . . . She attended parties . . . . . . And met the members. She waited in line to pick up her bid.

As a lump of clay is molded into a statue or a tiny figurine, an idea or theme is molded and formed into a yearbook. But it is not the work of one man; it is the combination of the entire staff. The members of my staff have put in long hours on the book. From them Leo Zelkowitz Betty Ann Young I have received more than just the work that I assigned them. The deadlines would have been much longer and harder if it were not for their friendship and cheer. All I can say is thanks... thanks a lot. Selling a yearbook to a student that is constantly handing out money for tuition, books and school supplies is a tough job. Added to this problem is the factor that the book must not lose money. Leo scraped and financed until toward the last deadline, when the book's budget began to balance. With Gene and Neal as his assistants, the book was a financial success. Betty Ann, my girl Friday, was constantly around the office seeing that the other staff members were cleaning up their assignments. She was a good worker, a classmate, and a buddy. Don spent many hours writing, correcting, and making sure Gene Reinhold Neal Zweig that the copy was the best in any yearbook. Tom, without a doubt, was a most efficient and exacting photographer. Louise effectively handled the honoraries besides making me chuckle a bit with some of her questions. When Eleanor sat down and finished her section, she did a fine job. Mazie came through with a wonderful job handling and helping with three sections. Marilyn, also a triple section editor and worker, did a very good job. Helen ended up with many sore fingers from the amount of copy that she had to type. Judy floundered and fought her way through an entire index of names; a good job for a first year member. Betty, at times, worried me about meeting her deadline, but she met her deadline in her Don Miller Tom Vrana usual good fashion, and kept me in a jovial mood. Lois handled the religious section with charm and came through with a good piece of work. Bob took a lot of good pictures that are a credit to the pages. Circulation and publicity fell on the able shoulders of Howie. Though she ended with glue on her fingers, Lucille did a great job on the classes section. I must also thank and recognize the wonderful help that I received from some of the faculty and Administration: Dean T. W. Biddle, Mrs. Starrett, Mr. Prey, and all my teachers that had to put up with a busy student. To Buffalo, N, Y., I would like to send my thanks for the wonderful and careful help that the staff of Wm. J. Keller Inc. gave me. People like Don Messinger, Mrs. Jewell Gates, and Blair Schrecongost are wonderful people to work with and wonderful public relations for their company. The S. K. Smith Co., of Cleveland, did a very beautiful job creating our covers. I would like to thank Ralph Benz for his many suggestions and information on the design of this book cover. Next to the Owl office is another office that has the words DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS on the glass doors. In that office paces not only my adviser but also a man whom I consider a personal friend, Dr. Donald E. Swarts. I would like to thank D. E. for our very fine association. M~azie Hoffman Marilyn Rubin My parents saw very little of their son this year, in fact, only sometimes at breakfast and on weekends. Through the entire year, they never complained about the way I some times had to ignore my home life. I am particularly grateful for the constant encourage ment which they gave me throughout the year. I must also thank Jeannine for not com plaining when I had a date with the Owl instead of with her. I could go on for pages, thanking people for the help thaft they have given me this year. To those that I have not named-I would not forget any of you-but I can only say thanks. And so ends the first fifty years of the Owl. I would like to thank the Almighty for Helen Tishon Judy Kirkpatrick having given me this privilege of being the anniversary editor. I pray that He will watch the Owl and make it increasingly better as Pitt enters the next fifty years.

Pitt’s future was publicly charted on February 29, when Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield made his first appearance before the alumni and faculty, speaking to the Century Club at the Hotel Webster Hall. His message was televised over ‘VQED. The gist of the carefully delivered speech was that: “It is high time that this country had another great University to compete with those which have so long dominated our thinking.” The Chancellor was convinced that such could be ac- complished at Pitt. He stated, “We must begin to put flesh on this idea of distinctive structure by drawing stu- dents and finances from all parts of the world and by in- creasing emphasis 011 the quality of the University.” Concluding on a high note, Dr. Litchfield added, “In any event, I can promise you a thrilling time in what can be one of the greatest experiments in higher education in this century.” “It is high time . . . Eleanor Leslie, Homecoming Queen, and Miss Stella Stein, first Pitt coed, attended. THE END... And so ends the first fifty years of the Owl. But in reality it is just the beginning of a new era. The Owl has seen three chancellors in office and has tried to capture the brilliance of their accomplishments within its pages. The book has grown and thrived with the "skyscraper" University. This year, the Owl has only caught a glimpse of the new chancellor and his program. In years to come, the Owl will show the results of the dynamic leadership of Chancellor Litchfield. We know that our alma mater will flourish during his administration. We the seniors of the Owl staff express the thoughts of the entire senior class in wishing the Chancellor every success during his years of service to the University.

Some 44 speakers, including 10 out-of-town theolo- gians, influenced the Whole campus in early l\Iarch. This year Religion-in-Life VVeel< got OH’ to an interesting start when the University family met for the annual convocation in the Commons Room. Dr. Edwin P. Booth, from Boston University. was the main speaker; the preceding night he delivered a lecture to the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foun- dation o11 “i\“[oral Values and the Study of Bi- ogra phy. ’ ’ At the convocation he was introduced by Dr. C. Stanton Crawford, dean of the College, and spoke o11 “Yours—An Education for Living.” Greatly enlarged this year, the Religion-in-Life Coinniittee scheduled 25 events which were open to everyone interested. l\Ieetings with such topics as “Does the Educated Person Need Religion?” and “Ideas in Drama,” staged by speech students, found ready and enthusiastic support. Dr. DeVitis spoke with a more intimate group. The plaque dedicating the Cathedral to Dr. Bowman was unveiled. Dr. Bowman expressed his gratitude for the honor . . . . . . And the audience expressed its appreciation for his guidance. This year, thirty years after the groundbreaking, the Cathedral of Learning of the University of Pittsburgh was dedicated to the abilities and genius of the building’s originator, President Honorarius John G. Bowman. The informal ceremonies were held in the Commons Room in early l\Iarch: members of the Board of Trustees paid homage to Dr. Bowman when they unveiled a plaque which had been built into the wall near the Fifth Avenue fireplace. The tablet expresses the hope that the Cathedral of Learning may stand for centuries and be a sign of faith to youth. Following the presentation, a banquet was held in‘ the English Room where Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield spoke before the officials and their guests. Dr. Bowman first conceived the idea of a skyscraper university in a metropolitan environment and saw the first students move into the building in 1937. The “grand old man” of Pitt listens to the tributes being paid him. St. Patrick came rolling down the avenue . . . . . . And was greeted by General Ridgeway, Dean Fitterer, and City Solicitor McKeena. St. Patrick threw Shamrocks and the students fought to catch them. 36 The l\Iarch winds roared, but the engineering students roared louder as they began their celebration of Engineers’ Week, hlarch 12-16. The “boys from upon the hill” rolled down to the Cathedral for the appearance of their patron, St. Patrick. Three years ago, the engineering students named St. Pat as their patron because When he drove the snakes out of Ireland, he became an engineer by inventing the first “worm drive.” This year St. Pat arrived in a tank and was greeted by the students with cheers, shouts, and display signs of their departments. General l\Iatthew Ridgway, Dean F itterer, and city solicitor l\IcKenna were waiting to greet him as he stepped from his vehicle. St. Patrick had gifts of shillelaghs, shamrocks, and property in Ireland for the three dignitaries. The day was filled with much laughter but with the best laugh going to General RidgWay—he turned the tables and gave St. Patrick a shillelagh. It was a great day for the Irish and the engineer. r K: 9.» u u. _gu..vr»‘ ...... . ,«---::S «$- S E T T E M O /0 5 D E H T I s«:XI£....... .1 ...v¢l..§.....ua.... . x......:.tI.u....|v......3~¢e§2 :n:.....a..\ ., ..«d.n..w. , QM m..n;..m,,....u..2e.

Nutting is a graduate of the State University of Iowa. After taking advanced degrees at Iowa and Harvard, he was admitted to the Iowa and Kansas bars in 1930. He has worked on the Supreme Court, has been in private practice, law professor at Texas and Nebraska Uni- versities, and solicitor for the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. At Pitt since 1942, as professor and vice- dean of law, then as dean of law, Dr. Nutting has been vice-chancellor since 1952. Member of the Pennsylvania and Alle- gheny Bar Associations, American Bar As- sociation and president of the Association of American Law Schools, Dr. Nutting has during his years of administration continued to teach law courses. After thirteen years Dr. Nutting leaves Pitt this July to assume Directorship of the Buhl Foundation. He will be missed by many. A MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLORS OFFICE Those who manage and work in universities sometimes forget Why they are there. A university does not exist for the sake of its size or its wealth or its buildings. It exists for its students. Physical surroundings are important only to the extent that they contribute to an environment in which young men and women, together with those who teach, can develop the best that is in them. Buildings may be the bones of an institution, but people give it life and color and meaning. Thus, to be great, a university must be human. It must have concern not only for things, but also for mind and heart and spirit. It must preserve the lessons of the past and make them relevant to the present. It must look to the future without fear. It must stand staunchly for integrity. In a world too often preoccupied with transient and trivial affairs it must concern itself with eternal truth. These things can be accomplished only if students and faculty believe in them; only in an atmosphere of sympathy and under- standing. In my years at Pitt I have sensed this belief. I have felt this atmosphere. As the University moves on into a new era may it continue to stand for things that count. l\Iay the students who leave its walls carry with them the lasting virtues that will make their lives worth while. VICE CHANCELLOR MOORE Entering his third year at Pitt, Vice Chancellor of public health professions, Dr. Robert A. l\’Ioore is at home with his multiple duties at his Falk Clinic office. The former pathology professor and dean of medicine at VVash- ington University, St. Louis, is also awaiting the third edition of his 425,000 word pathology textbook to be published this summer. Attempting to keep up with developments, he subscribes to thirty- five medical journals. Born in Chicago and an Ohio State University graduate, he took his Ph.D. at \Vestern Reserve University shortly after his degree in medicine. He does not feel too many students apply for Pitt medical school since approximately one out of two is placed. A world traveler, he toured Europe with his family last summer. PRESIDENT HONORARIUS BOWMAN One of the most forceful men in the history of the University of Pittsburgh is President IIonorarius John G. Bowmanithe man who as chancellor from 1991 to 1945 conceived the idea and erected the Cathedral of Learning. Dr. Bowman’s list of positions and accomplishments is legion: chancellor of two universities, trustee consultant on hospital boards, trustee of the Frick Educational Commission, vice—chair- man of the board of l\Iellon Institute, as well as the recipient of many honors from here and abroad. He has also written many books, among them The I/Vorld That Was‘. At present Dr. Bowman lives in retirement at Bedford, Pa., spending his time writing and working at his hobby of ceramics— among the memories of a fascinating career. CHANCELLOR EMERITUS FITZGERALD Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh for ten years Dr. Rufus H. Fitzgerald, presently Chancellor Emeritus, led Pitt through its early age of expansion in the Oakland district. Renounced for his managerial abilities at the State University of Iowa, Dr. Fitzgerald came to Pitt in 1938 at the behest of Dr. Bowman, then chancellor. Assuming the role of chancellor i11 1946, Dr. Fitzgerald initiated many far-reaching advances for the University. Since his retire- ment, he has continued his intense and vital interest in the edu- cational system in the United States by heading the Executive Committee for Exchange Students, a post he took on in his last year at Pitt at the wish of the President of the United States. His life at present is divided between his home in Pittsburgh and his duties in VVashington, D. C. REGISTRAR QUICK Dr. J. G. Quick, registrar of the University, has been serving in Pitt’s extension division and as secretary of school relations since he got his diploma at Pitt in 1913. He was appointed to the position of registrar three years later. A resident of Edgewood most of his life, Dr. Quick is a member of the local school board, a trustee of his church, and treasurer of its building fund. At Pitt he is on the athletic committee, foreign student committee, and the deans’ council; he also heads the faculty Community Chest drive. One of his favorite jobs is bestowing honor scholarships to high school students. Along with this, he likes to show some 16,349 slides which he calls the “University of Pittsburgh Scene.” 46 DEAN JONES Dr. Putnam F. Jones was born in Amsterdam, New York, and earned his degrees at Cornell University. He became assistant professor of English at Pitt in 1927. He has been a full professor since 1946, and was head of the English Department until he assumed his duties as associate dean of the College, as well as acting dean of the Graduate School. In this complicated world, Dr. Jones believes that students should develop their potential as human beings; technical and earning skills stem directly from that. As one of the founders of Pitt’s Core Curriculum program, Dr. Jones finds that students are not as well prepared in math and English as they should be. He also thinks literature is necessary for the fuller enjoyment of life. Besides reading, Dr. Jones finds relaxation fishing off Bass Island near Sandusky, Ohio. DEAN RUSH Pitt’s Dean of Women, Miss Helen P. Rush states: “Pitt women are more independent than formerly, and awareness is a good thing. It used to be that it was considered a virtue to be unaware of the world—at least women were expected to be. That is not true any longer. The story today is interaction and change. And I’m all for it.” Along with woman’s changing outlook has been the growth of the women’s program at Pitt under Dean Rush’s leadership. She feels that the emphasis in a woman’s college education should be placed on meaningfulness and a good philosophy to live by. This " may be accomplished by supporting and strengthening the intel- lectual standard of achievement. Like Dean Biddle, Dean Rush became dean in 1942, having graduated from Pitt and spent her “apprenticeship” on the former dean of women’s staff. DEAN BIDDLE Theodore VV. Biddle, dean of men at the University of Pittsburgh, has been interested in the affairs of Pitt students through the dean of men’s staff since he graduated from Pitt in 1929. From that time till 1941 he was assistant to the dean of men; Mr. Biddle has been full dean since June of 194Q—he has spent over 25 years with the men’s program at Pitt. In that time he has gained much knowledge about just how the college mind works, be it in high-minded pursuits such as Tap Day, or the confusion of a student raid on another college campus. He feels students are better today than when he graduated. This is because Pitt is admitting better students: freshmen are better trained and more reasonable than those of the Twenties. A sign of their maturity is the growth of student marriages, almost un- heard of then. CHAPLAIN LUCCOCK Chaplain Emory VV. Luccock was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and received his A.B. at Wabash College in 1916, his D.D. in 1932, after attending various seminaries. Ordained a Presbyterian min- ister in 1921, Dr. Luccock was director of a community center in Siangtan, China from 1929 to 1925, and the American community church in Shanghai until 1938. Back in the U. S. he served in many churches throughout the Midwest, coming to Pitt in 1953. He is amazed at the cooperation he has received as first full- time chaplain from the student and faculty. After building the loan library in his office with “the best books I can find on religion and education for college students,” and maintaining his friendship with students, the Chaplain feels he is finding out how to do his job better. Pauline Markess Nancy Jones Albert Boll 48 OWL HALL OF FAME After a period of four years, the student who has taken an active interest in his University has found that student life is more than a combination of books, studies, and buildings. The senior who channelled his energy into the different aspects of campus activities has discovered the values to be attained through learning how to enjoy, help, and work with other people. The Owl Hall of Fame Committee, composed of six junior men and six junior women, had watched the seniors in their activities. From their observations, the juniors selected those seniors whom they felt to have left a lasting impression in the minds of the student body. The Owl accepts and honors the committee’s selections. On these pages, the Owl presents the outstanding seniors in its Hall of Fame. Daniel Levitt Karl E german Shirley Ritz Elizabeth Ann Young Donald Gartner Joseph Banik ark» Calliope Papandreas Beatrice Pellegrino Chester Zukowski 49 OWL HALL OF FAME Jocelyn Shoemaker Dimitri Petro Nicola Sirianni Ronald Amalong 50 LaVerne Dunten ' §l§ Emma Urbanek Martha DiFons0 Jane Wright OWL HALL OF FAME Rosina Laurito Sheldon Monsein l\Iilt0n Emery John McLeister 51 MR. PITT Nicola Sirianni Each year, the Owl selects a man and a woman from the graduating class as Mr. and Miss Pitt. These two students typify the ideals that a student may develop who finds a keen interest in working for and with his school and fellow classmates. Four years have ended. Four years in which time we seniors have learned much about different subjects, various activities, and the significance of true friendship. During this time the University has not only given us an academic education but a social education as well. To be a part of Pitt is a challenge to every student. l\Iany students seldom find an opportunity to become an integral part of campus life because of studies, outside 52 MISS PITT Beatrice Pellegrino work, and other complications. But those who do grasp the opportunity soon find that Pitt has more to offer them than academic attainment. In years to come, We may lose contact with the Uni- versity and with the friends We have made, but we could never forget the great amount of pleasure that both have given us. Of those among us, the Owl has singled out Nicola Sirianni and Beatrice Pellegrino, who through their abili- ties, interests, and development have shown themselves Worthy of the titles Mr. and l\Iiss Pitt. They exemplify What We believe Pitt has attempted to generate in us- personality, leadership, and humanity. 53 I OMICRON DELTA KAPPA AWARDEE For his outstanding abilities and leadership in extracurricular activities one senior man is chosen by Gamma Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa for its prized award, Pitt’s ODK [Warn of the Year. His being chosen as the senior student “who best represents the type of individual the University aims to produce” was the result of careful selection from the most outstanding senior men at Pitt. After each candidate’s popularity had been determined by the number of votes he had received, this information was added to his qualifications of leadership in activities, his scholarship, his character, and his service to the University. This year the Senior Award Committee, composed of Dean T. VV. Biddle, E. A. Batchelder, Col. VV. D. Eister, Dr. R. C. Gor- ham, and iVIr. Robert Dickinson, 1955 ODK Awardee, chose for the honorary award Donald Gartner, whose name, engraved in ODK VValk, will serve as stimulus to his successors. 54 “S” AWARDEE Pitt’s “S” Award for “seeing, studying, speaking abroad” was given this year to Robert l\IcCabe, a junior in the College. This is the third year that the award has been given; last year’s awardee was Donald Gartner, who spent his summer in Southern Germany in the home of a Stuttgart family. Robert, who is an English major, plans to do most of his travel- ing in England with sidetrips to the many historic literary spots throughout the British Isles. After he has completed his studies at Oxford, he plans on venturing to Paris and then to Rome. The “S” Award, open to any male junior in the University, is provided for from contributions of Pitt’s fraternities, working hand in hand with the Dean of l\Ien’s office. It is officially sponsored by Interfraternity Council. The awardee is expected to Write and talk of his experiences during his last year on campus. 55 NATIONALITY ROOMS AWARDEES Two Nationality Rooms hostesses, Suzanne Roche, Education ’57, and Carolyn Loeffler, College ’57, were awarded this year’s annual scholarships for study in Europe. l\*Iiss Loeffler is an English major interested in creative writing. In her application for the award, she indicated a desire to go to Italy because “there is such a concentration of all that is ancient and beautiful in that country.” l\Iiss Roche said that through hostessing in the Nationality Rooms she has become aware of “the great contributions to society made by each country in the world,” and that by hostessing in Heinz Chapel she has experienced the “lovely calmness enveloped in the bright colors created by Charles Connick.” The winners, not -previously made known until Tap Day, were selected and announced early this year in order to give the women a better opportunity to prepare for their departures in early June. 56 THE COLLEGE 5'7 DEAN CRAWFORD Students’ awareness of their responsibilities has never been better is the opinion of Dr. Stanton C. Crawford, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “They have advanced according with the philosophies of this age which has a totally different emphasis since I graduated from Bethany College,” he states. “l\Iore and more students are turning to business rather than to the professions as they did in the past. Business, too, is moving toward reviewing and accepting the values gained by a student who has a firm background in the humanities.” Born in Steubenville, Ohio, Dr. Crawford, professor of zoology at Lynchburgh College in Virginia, and at Pitt for fourteen years, became head of the Johnstown Center in 1927. He has been dean of the College since 1935. Dean Crawford this year was elected to the new position of Dean of Faculties under Dr. Litchfield. Dr. J. S. Taylor Prof. VV. R. Hovey — Dr. J.

Raymond F itterer graduated as a chem- ical engineer from Rose Polytechnic in 1924, he has pur- sued a busy life in administrative and technical fields. He became research fellow at Carnegie Tech, working after- wards at the U. S. Bureau of Mines as head of the metal- lography department. From 1933 to 1938 he headed his F itterer Pyrometric Co. which he has since sold. By 1951 he was dean of Pitt’s Schools of Engineering and Mines, was a U. S. delegate to the U. N. Economics Commission for Latin America in Bogota, as well as being supervisor to many research boards during and since the war. Dr. Fitterer states that out of 1,000 applicants to Schools of Engineering and Mines this past year, only 450 students were accepted because of incapacity. Three hun- dred were turned away who could qualify eventually for one of the School’s ten degrees. He has two artistic hobbies: painting and the organ. 68 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Prof. VV R.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION 77 DEAN MASONER Dr. Paul H. l\'Iasoner, dean of the School of Education, is vitally interested in the problem of recruiting more teachers for Pittsburgh schools. He has made a careful study of the community on this question and stands be- hind high school F.T.A. groups to stimulate students into wanting teaching for a career. He also makes many speeches to various community groups per year on edu- cation needs. Dr. Masoner does not think the answer is to shorten the study period of teachers to less than four years; to him that is a sure way of lowering teaching prestige. He sees “no daylight yet” in the problem of influencing more students to teach, but he states, “there is more and more interest. Community respect is as important to a teacher as salary.” A teacher’s greatest returns, he feels, will always be fun and satisfaction in the work of influenc— ing young minds. Dean Masoner’s residence is in Bellevue, Pa., where he taught and administered in its schools for many years before coming to the University. Dr. J. C. Craig Dr. G. W. Anderson Dr. M. L.

Publisheci by the Students of the University of Pittsburgh in Six Sections i A V Calendar Classes Activities SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEAN LAN FEAR Graduate of the University of Texas with Ph.D. from Columbia is Dr. Vincent IV. Lanfear, Dean of the School of Business Administration. His feeling is that students today are promised too much, giving them a “VVhat’s in it for me?” outlook in and after college. VVhen he entered college he considered it the “Promised Land.” “There were far less opportunities for advancement in those days,” the Dean affirms. He advises, “Your personality is the key to most doors. You’re always writing your own recommendation by your appearance . . . it’s your psychic income.” His greatest thrill as a teacher is watching a poor stu- dent develop. Texas born and Dean of :\Ien from 1934 to 1941, he also enjoys watching things grow—students most of all. Dean Lanfear accounts it one of the greatest thrills of his profession that he has been able to keep in contact with many business graduates. 84 Dr. R. F. Blackburn Dr. A. IVI. Woodruff Dr. S. L.

Swanson states that one—half of graduate dentists go into armed service, the rest go into practice and advanced work in oral surgery. Dean Swanson adds that dentists rank third nationally as salaried professionals. Nevertheless there is no overcrowding, but the demand for dentists is in smaller towns with 6,800 populations. Pitt Dental School’s incoming student quota is 96 stu- dents per year. Dean Swanson is a professor of histology and bacteri- ology. Born at Arroya, Pennsylvania, he earned his B.S. at Pennsylvania State University in 1915, his D.D.S. at Pitt in 1920, and l\I.S. in 1930. He taught bacteriology here till 1947, when he became associate dean. At present he is concluding his doctorate dissertation on tooth re- generation. As a happy pastime, Dr. Swanson enjoys the out-of- doors and especially the angler’s art. 91 SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY DENTISTRY Miss E. Reed Bacteriology and Histology X Dr. C. F.
