Seldom mentioned and even less frequently seen, it is little wonder that their silent, purposeful efforts for the upbuilding of Tech so often pass unnoticed. While the world acclaims the feats of our great scientists and engineers; while the prowess of our philosophers and physicists fills history's pages; let us reflect for a moment on the tireless devotion of these men to an ideal our own Tech.

Van Buskirk contact the number of students that his colleagues do, to those he does encounter he leaves a remembrance of sincerity and helpful attention. DEAN OF UPPERCLASSMEN * The military manner of Dean Hinrichs has had a great effect upon the morale and discipline of the upperclass students. The former West Pointer came to Tech in 1920, and has been very active in the student aid and student relations committees. In the classroom, he is highly regarded as professor of mechanics. DEAN OF FRESHMEN * Everyone likes Dean Macarthur. In a kind and friendly way he helps the freshmen through their various difficulties in adjust-ment. In his years here since 1920 he has sponsored many activities, including the organization of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary debating fraternity. Besides his many other duties, he is professor of languages, and teaches both French and German. REGISTRAR COMPTROLLER * Suitably enough, Professor H. C.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS * Several features of the work of the Board of Directors, aside from its purely routine business, have made the past year unusually interesting for its members. Perhaps the most permanent contribution of its activities was the incorporation of the Associated Students into a non-profit corporation. While this step has produced no internal change in the structure of the student government, it has resulted in a definite legal protection to the individual members. Together with the incorporation came the revision of the Constitution. * In financial matters, the Board was extremely fortunate in that it was not faced with the problem of a deficit at the beginning of its term. Sufficient money was given the Rally Committee to warrant several professional vaudeville shows in Friday assemblies. * The Board also helped the band to pay for its new orange and white uniforms. In a concert before the student body, their "first Spring showing" brought forth much favorable com-ment. Finally, with the policy in mind of using up the A. S. B. dues in the year in which they the collected, the Board planned and gave a semi-formal dance for the students at the Hotel Vista del Arroyo. * A few other activities of the Board are perhaps worthy of mention. They were the new pep song contest, the reorganization of the Press Club, the joint banquet at the Athenæum for the incoming and retiring corporation offi-cers, and the making of tennis a major sport. * The men serving on the Board for the past year were Wallace Johnson, President; Fred King, Vice-President; Euclid Watts, Secre-tary; Robert Kramer, Treasurer; Robert Parker, Athletic Manager; Neil Snow, Publicity Manager; Don Webster and Wendell Mil-ler, Representatives-at-Large; and Eugene Edwards, Rally Committee Chairman.

(a midiera alla salla1500) CLASSES PAGE THE HISTORY OF '35 * Late in September, 1931, the new freshman class first arrived upon Tech's campus on registration day. The 162 bewildered high-school graduates wandered into Dabney Hall and there were shepherded by faculty advisers. A few of the hardier souls teased their less nonchalant associates and exhibited at that time a capacity for horseplay which would soon make life very busy for the sophomores and upperclassmen in the student houses. * That time was ushered in by the mammoth bonfire, the first organized project of the freshmen. Under the leadership of Bill Harris, who had been appointed Chairman of the freshman class, four telephone poles were acquired and erected at the corners of a twenty-five-foot Crews of freshmen scoured the territory for combustibles, and square was made into a cube of boxes, benches, and wood fragments. The pile was guarded on the night previous to the Oxy game by more crews of frosh. Ignited by flaming wads of excelsior, the bonfire was a roaring success. * The second project was the Rodeo. Despite many clever tricks, such as kidnapping and tying of two soph teamsters in the steam tunnels, '35 lost the push-ball contest and so had to be hosts to the sophs for the traditional Rodeo Dance. Later, at the end of the first term, SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Webster, President; Stoddard, Secretary Hallanger, Treasurer; E. Edwards, Vice-President the freshmen again were hosts, this time at the traditional Freshman Student Body Dance. Given at the Civic Audi-torium, the dance was a splendid success, with the unique features of plenty of room and an excellent orchestra.

(Continued from Page 27) * In the elections at the beginning of the second term Bill Harris was elected President; Fred King, Vice-Presi-dent; Al Ray, Secretary; and Max Millikan, Treasurer. Even in the first term-though officially there was no hazing of frosh-certain queer sounds of distress could occasionally be heard upon the campus as a crowd of sophomores managed to sequester a lone freshman. result was usually a trip to the physics pond and a dunking for the victim. Occasionally the tables were reversed and the sophomore got the dunking. In the second term the frosh gained the upper hand in the student houses and, according to one of them, made life miserable for the sophs and upperclassmen. Such innocent pastimes as hiding loosely corked bottles of water in the victim's bed and "stacking" of rooms were resorted to. known group did a thorough job at stacking Jack room; everything movable and removable was piled in the patio. Only the lack of plumber's wrenches prevented the heater and washbasin from joining the wardrobe, bed, drawers, and other articles. few freshmen and more sophs were taken for rides, dropped in the country, and left to return as best they could. A classic is the story told about Gerald Isenhower.

Many startled exclamations escaped the returning sophs who found Jerry comfortably stretched out in the house lounge, telling his tale to a group of appreciative freshmen. * The year closed on a well-organized freshman class which promised mighty things in the future. Bill Harris and Gerald Isenhower were awarded honor keys for their outstanding services to the class. * The Class of 1935 entered its sophomore year with Wally Johnson at the helm, with Laurence Stuppy, Max Millikan, and Don Webster in the other offices. guard missed some familiar faces, for about fifteen men had dropped reasons scholastic or financial. Transfers from other institutions filled the vacancies. * This year the sophomores added another link to the unbroken chain of soph victories in the Rodeo push-ball contest. The better organization and superior experience of the soph team made the outcome a foregone conclu-sion, and but for a few initial exciting moments the contest took the form of a sprint for the frosh goal. The class enjoyed itself at the expense of the freshmen. * The tragic deaths of two popular members had a sobering effect on everyone. John Kiplinger was killed accidentally while cleaning a rifle. Thomas Jackson, a good track man, died suddenly at the end of a practice * The traditional Sophomore Student Body Dance, one of the few customs surviving the test of time, was given at the Vista del Arroyo. The affair was ably managed, well attended, and voted a "swell time" by everyone. spite of the cool weather, it is said a number of couples found the garden very interesting. * After the football season ended, some of the men, apparently lacking sufficient outlet for their energies, formed an unofficial rugby team. Binkley, Dan Miller, and Jim Moore provided the idea, and soon were supported by about fifteen steady rugbyites. The end of the sophomore year was approaching. Many stout hearts had been faltering at the thought of the "comps," those comprehensive Actually, the exams proved to be less awesome than Dame Rumor had depicted. The last exam over, the members of the Class of '35 looked forward to a vacation and then a return to work as juniors. * For the junior year, Fred King was selected President; Laurence Stuppy, Vice-President; Kenneth Pitzer, retary; and Don Webster, Treasurer. The first official duty of the junior class was to provide a Rodeo Committee to take charge of the frosh-soph push-battle. During the epic struggle the push-ball split, so the juniors had to provide a substitute which would sate the bloodthirsty battlers. Shovels, a rope, and some bags we Procured. A mud pit was hurriedly made and a war started, with the losing team getting a mud bath. * The Class of '35, as usual, contributed very largely to the outstanding success of the track and tennis teams, and won the interclass track meet by a handy margin. At the close of the year much valuable work was done by the juniors to make the Garden Party and Junior-Senior Prom two best-liked social events of the year. * To guide them through the senior year, the seniors selected Don Webster as President; Eugene Edwards, Vice-President; James Stoddard, Secretary; and Robert Hallanger, Treasurer. Many interesting events took place largely as the result of senior efforts. First and most noticeable of these was the reorganization of the Nonresidents Club. Seniors Jahns, Kramer, and Potter carried out an inspiration conceived at the end of the junior year. With faculty approval gained at last, these men made membership in the new "Throop Club" optional instead of compulsory. The dues were raised to two dollars and an active, vital organization promised. With an average of more than one hundred members, the better financial support made possible a great diversity of banquets, stags, and dances. The houses soon recognized the importance of this new club; better understanding between the formerly antagonistic groups was the result. * Early in January the senior class had cause to congratulate one of its well-liked members, with the announcement that Horace Davenport had won a Rhodes Scholarship. In the universal opinion of the seniors the honor was well deserved. * A group of seniors and graduates, headed by Gene Edwards, were asked by a faculty committee to investigate excessive study requirements. Their report has not been made public as yet, but revision of several courses * The Senior Class observed its traditional Ditch Day on May 8. Carloads of seniors could be observed headed beachward early in the day. The Garden Party was planned for the afternoon of May 18. James Davies, chairman of the Junior-Senior Prom Committee, made good his promise of plenty of shady, secluded nooks in Dabney garden for those couples not wishing to stand around the punch bowl. Davies, assisted by four capable seniors, is planning the traditionally formal Prom, to be held at the Riviera Country Club on June 8. PAGE 4 3 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Morse, Treasurer; McIntyre, Vice-President; Bishop, Presi dent; Milan, Secretary. JUNIOR CLASS * As one of the largest and most brilliant classes to enter the Institute, the Junior Class debut in 1932 was especially significant. The class easily showed its great strength and power by refusing to be dominated by the Class of '35. In the Sophomore year it completely controlled the Class of '37. * At the beginning of the Junior year Art Bishop was elected to the class presidency by a large majority, and was ably assisted in his duties by McIntyre, vice-president; Leo Milan, secretary; and Morse, treasurer. Davis, McIntyre and Veysey were elected to represent the class as members of the Board of Control. * During the first term of this year the Class of '36 again convincingly demonstrated its superiority by decreeing that the two lower classes should settle the question of the relative supremacy in a gentlemanly manner, which they were incapable of doing on their own initiative. For this purpose a pushball contest was arranged and officiated by members of the Junior Class. * During the third term two social events were staged for the benefit of the departing Seniors. The first of these, a Garden Party, was held in the afternoon in Dabney Garden. The next, that climax of college life, the Junior-Senior Prom, was a notable success, being held at the beautiful Riviera Country Club. * The members of the class are extraordinarily interested in extra-curricular activities.

SOPHOMORE CLASS * Showing an activity decidedly more intense than that of last year's sophomore class, the Men of '37 this year tied up freshmen in the steam tunnels, threw them in the physics pond, won the push-ball contest, put on a dance which everyone enjoyed, and finally produced a stage show rivalling that of professional companies. On top of all this the class put seven men in student body offices, thereby equalling the junior class. * At the beginning of the year Richard Rosencranz was elected class president. He organized the push-ball team, which won over the freshmen by a single goal; and secured second term. * Johnny Austin, School Rally Committee Chairman and a sophomore, arranged in the third term for each class to put on a stunt assembly. The sophs featured a variety show, the climaxing number of which ballet dance done by "rowdy section B." For the benefit of the faculty, another act was given in which the Registration Committee was dramatized. Its members were students, and those men of low grades applying for re- admission were professors and teachers. * Scholastically the class dragged along at the tail end with a 2.3 average, but this was to be expected with men so deeply concerned with extra curricular affairs. Nevertheless, in spite of the general low average, boasts of many super snakes, one whose term average is still above 200 grade points. SOPHOMORE CLASS Fifth Row: P. Edwards, A.

They were high ranking scholars and achieved the highest average rating of an entering class since the inception of the physical efficiency tests. Two-thirds of the class made a three-day trip to the Whittier "Y" Camp at Arbolado, where they became acquainted and learned about the tra-ditions, policies and problems of life and study at the Institute. One of the most radical changes for the majority of the Freshmen was the installation of the Institute's honor system. * The Sophomores undertook to debase the neophytes, and class differences were finally settled by a pushball contest at the annual Frosh-Soph Rodeo. Kidnappings, rescues and turmoil reigned in the steam tunnels prior to the contest as the Sophomores attempted to gain an upper hand in the contest by removing the best of their opponents. On the field, Freshman effort availed nothing against the superior tactics of the upperclassmen, who scored the lone goal of the game. * Freshman versatility was definitely estab-lished, January 2, when they presented the Freshman Student Body Dance. Four hundred couples filled the lavishly decorated Exhibition Hall of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and danced to the music of Everett Hoagland's Orchestra. On March 29, the class again scored socially with the aid of Hank Evans' Orchestra at the Frosh-Soph Rodeo Dance in Dabney Lounge.

It plays an important part in the lives of the student body, yet a much greater part in the lives of the fellows who partici-pate. Every year, two weeks before school starts, the eager members arrive in Tournament Park to begin the fall practice season. Two weeks of hard training to get in condition after a summer that may not have been exactly best for the necessary hard muscles. Two weeks filled with the attempt to instil in the players the real spirit of the game and the one great principle behind Cal Tech football, to play the game for the love of the game. * The season of 1934-35 was particularly suitable for the development of such a spirit. With only six returning lettermen there was much work to do in the matter of getting some experience for the younger members of the squad. Inexperience showed up, but as the season passed on these were much fewer, and the team began to be able to Capt. Frank Davis, Guard stand up under a fast-moving football game. * The first two games were particularly valuable in the matter of giving the team experience. The Friday night before registration the team went down to the New Gilmore Stadium to play with the Loyola Lions. The score will not be mentioned but a good time was had by all. The following week Arizona State at Tempe, Arizona, was the host. This was the longest trip a Cal Tech team had taken for some years, and everyone had a chance to see some of the coun try as well as learn some of the points of the game found only by playing schools far away.

PAGE 5 1 Nollan, Guard Kramer, Half Larsen, Tackle Bush, End Zimmerman, Tackle Shapp, Quarter Benton, Full * After these two games, which gave the younger members a good start on their way to development of the true game spirit, the team settled down to two weeks of practice for the game with Redlands. Tech entered the game with a real fighting spirit, but that bad thing of inexperience came up in the third quarter, and Redlands took a lead that Tech could not overcome. * As youth is always full of hope, so was the team, and with great determination the following Saturday afternoon they went out to do what they could to the Pomona Sagehens. The sad part of the game was a brilliant passing attack put on by Pomona that swept the Cal Tech backfield off their feet and led to a Pomona victory. * Now was the time when the Beavers felt sure they could step into the win column, as they were to entertain La Verne in Tournament Park. Tech took the lead in the early part of the first quarter, but La Verne decided that they were the guests and should do as they pleased The result was that La Verne took the lead away from the Beavers in the third quarter and would not yield to a hard last-minute Tech touchdown drive that was finally stopped by the gun. PAGE 5 2 * The next week's bye was necessary for the preparation for the coming big game with Oxy. This was the game that the team absolutely had to win to uphold the even-odd tradition that has grown up. That is, Tech wins the game on the even years and Oxy should win on the odd-numbered years. From all past records of the two teams for the year things looked bad for the lighter and less experienced Beavers, but that true game spirit was in the hearts of the members of the team and with the student body behind the team there was little chance for Oxy to win. All who attended the game will remember the last few minutes when Oxy tried again and again to overcome the one point lead that Tech held but the final gun gave us the only victory of the year. * After their thrilling win over Oxy the team traveled to Fresno, where a rather damp time was had in about three inches of water, and many of the fellows had their first experience with mud cleats. * The season ended all too soon. The team was getting in the right shape of mind to be able to stand the stress of the game, but Santa Barbara, with a determination to win from Tech for once, won the final game. This was particularly sad for the senior members of the squad, but they had the feeling of having played a good hard game. * Little has been said about the individual members of the team. The end positions were filled by Daniel Miller, Ken Bush, Paul Ed- PAGE 5 3 Miller, End Jerauld, Half Johnson, Quarter Snow, Tackle Stuppy, Tackle Jones, Tackle Fussell, Half McIntyre, Center P A GE 5 4 PAGE 55 wards, with Bob Fussell coming in from the fullback position. At tackle Bob Jones and "Swede" Larson did most all the playing. They were the two top men on the team in playing time, but Larry Stuppy and John Works were there to fill in. The guard positions were filled by different players about every game. Capt. Frank Davis was the outstanding guard, but due to injuries was kept out of several of the games. His place and that of running guard was ably filled by John Stick, Bill Wetmore, Al Zimmerman, Neal Snow, and Bob Elliot. At center Howard Peek and John Nollan were competing with each other, and it was usually a case of while Art Bishop would sometimes get the call for duty. There were five halfbacks that were present for duty. Bob Kramer and Ralph Benton did the blocking, while Ed Wileman, Wendell Miller and Don Blodgett carried the ball. Kramer also did much of the punting. Bob Fussell, a made-over end, and Dick Rosencranz did the work of the fullback, with much help from Bob McIntyre until he was injured. * Besides these mentioned members there were several more who did not play very much, but their time will come in the 1935 season when the defeats of the past are forgotten. FROSH FOOTBALL * So far as winning games may be considered as an objective, the yearling football squad experienced a sad season. However, victory as such is not the prime requisite for a successful year. Team spirit plays an important part and this year's frosh team was enthusiastic. * Although we lost both of them by the scores of 12-6 and 21-12, members of the squad to bach men the Poond say the splishes spothe sashi which maching the play he that Sagechicks in both games. In the opening quarter of the second game in the Rose Bowl, Pomona scored twice on two costly fumbles made by the Tech safety man. In the second period, how-ever, Cochrane, Tech fullback, went over for a touchdown, and in the third quarter a long run by McLean, captain and ace halfback, made possible a pass from Smith to Baker for the other score. However, the Tech team was unable to overtake the Pomona yearlings or score further. * The schedule was tough and the Frosh proved they can take it despite their defeats. Throughout the season McLean, Smith, and Rowell inspired the team with their stellar football. * Those who received numerals were: Rowell, Helsel, Knell, Bowen, Shreve, Osborn, Captain McLean, Smith, Cochrane, Griswold, Brown, Demmit, Hamilton, VanHorn, Blake, and Peat. PAGE 56 Zediker Basketball Coach CAL TECH 36 Hallanger, Bussard, Bucknell, Radcliffe Varsity Basketball Managers VARSITY BASKETBALL * Starting the season under the greatest of difficulties, fifteen men answered the call of Captain Dick Jahns by turning out for basketball in early November. Without financial support from the Institute, these men secured a gymnasium and the services of an excellent coach within a short time. * Complete and natty sweat suits were obtained by the players themselves, and a strong squad began to take form. With lettermen Jahns, Colvin, Dauben, and Gates, plus very strong reserve material available, this squad gave all indications of having a very profitable season. * The team met with indifferent success in its contests as a member of the Pasadena Commercial League, largely because of the experimentation of Coach E. S. Zediker in his attempt to find a winning combination. The winter months were significant, however, because of the sensational improvement of Chet Davis, one of last year's reserves, at a forward position. * Beginning the conference season against Chapman College, the Beavers were dropped by a staggering score, partly through the absence of several first string men. Pomona and Redlands also garnered one-sided wins over the Techmen on succeeding Saturdays. * Against Pomona in the return game, the Engineers began to find themselves, losing the engagement only by a very close score. Dauben had his long shots clicking with deadly accuracy, while Jahns' one-handed side flings paid off to the tune of a dozen digits. * Chapman College was then given the scare of its life, barely easing out a 46 to 44 victory, over the Beavers, who were now really "hot. lom Harper turned in a beautifully playe zame at guard, scoring twelve points and com- PAGE 5 7 Jahns Harper bining with Jahns, who rang up fifteen, to stage a rally which barely fell short of its mark.

Harper, Gates, and Horkey checked the terrible Lions to a paltry six field goals, while the home guard offense was going to town. Captain Jahns took high point honors with nineteen, followed by Schuman with thirteen and Colvin with nine. * San Diego, with its highly-touted offense, was held to another narrow victory when Dauben, Jahns, and Schuman nearly succeeded in outscoring their opponents. A let-down came the next week, when Occidental trimmed the Beavers handily, Colvin's ten points being the only bright spot. * The final game of the season was a thriller, with Oxy again victorious, but very narrowly so.

He led all non-conference players in scoring, with an average of over ten points a game, and was a fine inspirational leader on the floor. Davis was second in scoring, and will also be difficult to replace. However, with Haver, Penn, Lockwood, and Peek on hand to aid the returning letter win-ners, next season's squad should be a powerful one.

They have swept practically the whole field in which they have competed. Numerous records have been equalled or surpassed in the of potential champions for his varsity among the members of the green-shirters. * The outstanding star of the squad was John McLean from the City of Santa Barbara. He piled up a point score from double triumphs in the dashes aided with scattered points from other events which has never been reached by a first year man before. He was consistent at even times for both events throughout the season. Next year he will make an admirable running mate for the Varsity Champ, Al Creal. Doug Albert is a star seldom found at Tech. He can run the hurdles, half or quarter, FROSH TRACK Third Row: Grainger, Manager, Wilson, Downing, Ivanoff, Goff, Friend, Alt-house, Weiner, Skoog, Coach, Bellin - Second Row: Baker, Graybeal, Ropp, Smith, Albert, J.

At present he is faster than any of the varsity hurdlers or half-milers. Dorr and Voorhees in the distances are sure to count heavily in years to come as they have this year. They usually came through in the mile and two-mile, respectively. Goff and Weiner aided these men in several meets. In the field there were less spectacular performances produced. Wilson in the shot and other weight events has plenty of potential qualities. Baker has the sky to reach in the pole-vault. * In mid-season "Layt" Stanton was called from the field of sport to a position with the oil companies. The task of keeping the frosh team together and of producing better performances fell on the shoulders of Folke Skoog. Tech's Olympic Games competitor will have a better chance next year of showing whether he can instil in the yearlings some of his own ability to get results. PAGE 65 CROSS COUNTRY * Breaking away from the former tradition of being a losing team, the Cal Tech Cross Country Men this year proved their merit. The Varsity Team began its year by crushing the team from Occidental College on the Rose Bowl Track between halves of the Oxy-Tech Football Game. There John Wad-dell and Allan Scoville, both new-comers, sparkled for the first time, but not the last. Bakeman dis-tinguished himself this year by being the only three-year varsity letterman. * The Freshman Team found its main strength in the outstanding performances of Stan Voorhees and John Dorr, who, together with their teammates brought victory to Cal Tech in every meet except that with Pasadena Junior College. There they nonchalantly lost the course and started up the trail to Mt. Wilson. * Interhouse competition was keen, for there the varsity and freshman vied side by side. Never-theless, the varsity men showed themselves unquestionably superior to the yearlings; the former were particularly strong in the three and four-mile events.

VARSITY BASEBALL * Faced with the task of rebuilding the strong baseball nine which so successfully represented Tech last year, Coach Harold Z. Musselman began his labors with a nucleus of only five returning lettermen: Captain "Lefty" Lep-pert, Dick Jahns, and Johnny Nollan, infield-ers; Warren Potter, stellar hurler and infielder; and Charley Thompson, outfielder and pitcher. * The largest turnout in the history of Tech baseball responded to the call for candidates, however, and for the first time in many years there were enough men to form three complete nines. Hampered by the late rains, the players were slow to round into form, although they often showed great potentialities. * After dropping two hard-fought contests to Oxy and Redlands, the Beavers suddenly found their hitting togs and cut the Pomona Sagehens to ribbons, 26 to 4, in the most recent game played as this book goes to press. Wil-stam pitched a beautiful game, and was given sensational support by his mates.

His judgment was very steady, and his arrow-like throws to the bases cut down would-be stealers PAGE 6 7 Capt. Elmer Leppert Davenport and Jahns Gravitt and Nollan at a terrific rate. Chet Davis and Bruce Gravitt, seniors, and Dick Ridgeway, a sopho-more, were his understudies. * The southpaw slants of Al Wilstam were a constant source of wonder to opposing bats-men, while his fast ball always kept the plate red hot. Aside from being the first string chucker, Al was a potent hitter, his low, whistling drives bounding through the outfield for many extra bases. * Captain Elmer Leppert, by far one of the classiest first sackers ever seen at Tech, was a polished fielder, ran the bases like a frightened rabbit, and was a steady hitter as well. Batting in the lead-off position, his fine play was a constant source of inspiration to his team-mates. * The early season battle for second base was a very hard one, with Lind Davenport getting the call over the promising young sophomore, Len Schombel, and the veteran Seidel, who suffered a hand injury which shelved him for some weeks. A slugging type of hitter, Davenport rated among the powerhouses of the team. * The very difficult position of shortstop was handled pertectly by Warren Potter, three-year letterman and last vear's captain. The most consistent hitter on the team, his fielding was of superior calibre. Possessed of a remarkable throwing arm, a cool head, and great ability as a pitcher, he should be the hardest man to replace next year. * Bill Elconin, who rounded out the trio of heavy hitters, held down the hot corner with unusual finesse. He was poison to all opposing pitchers when at the plate. Kossiakoff and Sheppard understudied him. * A shortstop last year, Dick Jahns was shifted to the outfield by Coach Musselman, where he earned his right to the title of the fastest man on the team.

An even-balanced organization is placed on the field for every game by the canny Coach Doll. It is seldom that the Frosh show so much promise. There is no great outstanding star. The season has been marked by exceptional cooperation and team play. Musselman hopes to use the talents of the frosh in building for his varsity next year. * To date the peagreeners have played eight games. These have consisted of paired series with Occidental, Pomona and several High School teams. The season has been very successful for it has been marked by the brilliant wins scored over the rivals from across the gulch. The Tiger Babes were no match for the local nine. * To Coach Doll must go some of the credit for the prowess of the players. He has imparted to them much of the valuable baseball lore which he has gleaned from the Varsity Coach Musselman in his four years working under the Baseball Sage of Tech.

Patterson and Reynolds played for Tech for the fourth consecutive year; while Gay played his third year on the squad. Harper, the only newcomer, ably filled the spot vacated at second singles by the graduation of Joe Grimes, the '34 captain. Griffith, Dowd, Bussard, Salisbury, Swanson and Nichols completed the team, with Swanson acting as manager. * Practice commenced early in February. The services of Dr. Lacosta, formerly of the University of Texas Tennis Team, were engaged as coach. This year marked the advent of tennis as a major sport. Practice matches were held with U.S.C., U.C.L.A., and Glendale J. C. U.S. C. and U. C. L. A. administered their annual beatings. No conference matches were lost. Pomona was beaten once, while Redlands and Occidental suffered two defeats apiece. A four-man team consisting of Patterson and Gay in the singles with Reynolds and Harper in the doubles made the trip to Ojai. Patterson was defeated in the quarter-finals by Wetherell VARSITY TENNIS Second Row: Swanson, Playing Manager, Harper, Griffith, Gay, Salisbury— Front Row: D.

Reynolds and Harper lost in the second round of the doubles, 8-6, 6-3, to the second seeded team of Pommer and Dey from Stanford. The season closed on May 4 with the Pomona match. During the season Tech registered eight wins and suffered three defeats. For their efforts the men are to be awarded major sport stripes for each tennis letter won. * The frosh turned out the best team produced by that class in the last three years. They defeated Mon-tebello High, Alhambra High, Burbank High and Webb School with very little difficulty. Keller, the star of the team, succeeded in going through the year without suffering a defeat or the loss of a set in any Frosh competition. The first four men, Keller, Hul-birt, Dixon and Elliott have not lost a match in either singles or doubles. These men are expected to fill the spots left vacant by the graduation of this year's stars of the varsity.

PAGE 76 FLEMING HILITES * Although Fleming House is, as usual, standing at the top in nearly all inter-house activ-ities, the one real distinguishing feature of the House is found not in its actual record of accomplishment, for that may be rivaled, but in its outstanding spirit of initiative and inde-pendence. It is for this trait that the men of Fleming are complimented by the appellation, "Rowdies. * One striking instance of this spirit is the spontaneous appearance of the Austen Inter-Alley Trophy for that alley most skilled in the black arts. Originating in a contest for the best entertainment at one of the famous Fleming Smokers, the precedent was firmly established by the dedication by John Austen of this unique brass trophy and all its accoutrements to the tradition of Fleming originality. Although beginning in the middle of the year, the competition has already seen some dozen challenges and fiercely battled contests, each of which, as ruled by unanimous consent, must be entirely original. * Another new house policy which has attracted notice and imitation is the presentation to all house officers of dinner coats bearing the Fleming coat of arms. * While hitherto the men of the houses have contented themselves with futile talk and stoic philosophy in face of the food served them for meals, Fleming men, in close cooperation with all the houses, succeeded this year in not only registering a protest of 85% of all house men with Dr. Millikan, but also in backing it up with concrete and practicable suggestions which were immediately put into effect. * In the social sphere Fleming House will be remembered both for her "open house" dances and ambitious guest program.

Innovating in the social sphere found Fleming men each week visiting different prominent Pasadenans; thus establishing a precedent sure to be followed in years to come. * The same creed of house cooperation and positive action led Fleming to pre-eminence in sports. The Inter-House Trophy adorning her mantelpiece bids fair to return next year. As this goes to press Fleming is in the lead and with swimming coming up, the return of the trophy is generally conceded. Just below this trophy stands Discobolus in his usual home, from which he strays elsewhere on short visits but always returns to his well-worn niche above the Fleming fireplace. * All in all, the "House of Individualists" can have no cause for regret except the leaving of Prof. Phillip Fogg, her resident associate, to whose leadership may be attributed the rise of true fraternal feeling among house men. honor of Prof. Fogg, who next year will be chairman of the non-resident associates of Fleming, a house Alumni Dinner is planned for the end of the year when all the old house grads, among whom a strong alumni association is forming, will be back to bid Phil farewell and enjoy a traditional Fleming-style smoker. It is to be hoped that in years to come Phil Fogg will remain as proud of Fleming House as the men feel indebted to him for his friendly counsel and true comradeship during the first years of the House.

Gelzer, Walker, H. Miller, PAGE 7 8 BLACKER HOUSE * To its outstanding past three years, Blacker House has added a fourth in every way as spectacular and certainly as constructive. In all the Houses this has been a year of changes, with the Freshmen rotation and the Upperclass Committee government providing interesting improvements. The effectiveness of this system exemplified itself in Blacker in producing a year of complete harmony and achievement. * Undoubtedly the most outstanding achievement of the year was the adoption of a house coat. Feeling that having a distinctive house coat, uniform with all members and identifying Blacker men throughout the campus, would be an incomparable asset to house spirit as well as presenting a unified appearance at meals, blue wool sport coats with Old English "B's" on the pocket were adopted and purchased by over half of the members of the house. Added to this the official designation of house officers and Upperclass Committee through the use of stars above the monograms provides unique distinction. In this one year these coats have become recognized through- BLACKER HOUSE OFFICERS Eagleson, Associate; Briggs, Treasurer; Stick, President; Schaffner, Vice-President; Price, Secretary. out the campus and in future years it is hoped that they will adorn every member of the house. * Along with the other houses, Blacker started its social season by welcoming the Freshmen with the Four-House-Open-House Dance.

Following on with a successful "Anti-formality" Informal Dance, and com-bined Treasure and Scavenger Hunt, the cli-max of the second term came with the annual Formal Dinner-Dance, the lounge glittering in black and silver, and flowers filling the din-ing room. As always in Blacker, variety reign-ing supreme, the stag, ice-skating party, and the three-day beach party at Balboa over Easter provided never to be forgotten memo-ries. Climaxing the season with the annual Costume Party, this year an undersea dance, several informals, a Tea Dance at the Cocoa-nut Grove, and a Theater Party, Blacker's social season proved a highlight of the year. * The coveted Abraham Lincoln Forensic Trophy rested more than its due time on Blacker's mantel this year with the Intercol-legiate Bridge Trophy, a seemingly permanent possession, and the mighty Discobolus, the in-terhouse athletic trophy paying frequent visits. The overwhelming victory of Blacker's Interhouse Track Team provided the most sensational athletic achievement of the year and, along with handball, made up for the plucky though unsuccessful football team. Thus success, at least in spirit and fun, re-warded this year's efforts on the athletic field. * Fortunate again, to say the least, Blacker was proud to have Dr. Harvey Eagleson as their resident associate for the fourth year. Dr. Eagleson has been the source of unending help and inspiration to the house and has en-deared himself deeply to the life in Blacker.

DABNEY HOUSE * Dabney House is well pleased with the house spirit developed this year. No longer handicapped by the presence of a large number of uninterested graduate students, and helped by a remarkable increase in the interest of the members in the house affairs, Dabney has gone through the most successful year of its history. * Two formal dances were the grand social affairs of the year. During the second term, the annual house formal was held at the Holly-wood-Roosevelt Hotel. Near the end of April, Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Munro gave a dance at the Valley Hunt Club for Dabney members and alumni. Both affairs were complete successes. * Chief among the other affairs of the year was the exchange dance with the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority at U. C. L. A. Even the hardest-shelled hermits of the house returned to society for this informal dance. Rounding out the social year were several informal radio dances, a snow party at Lake Arrowhead, and those iniquitous revels known as smokers, where man can be seen at his worst. And lest it be forgotten, there was Easter week at Balboa. DABNEY HOUSE Second Row: McCloy, Richey, Car-roll, Koons, A. Dunn, Boothe, Rector, Alexander, Cain, Caldwell - Front Row: Pehoushek, J.

RICKETTS HOUSE * In Ricketts House, an important period of adaption to the new conditions suggested by the Committee on Student Relations was successfully passed, with some healthy compromise between conflicting schools (and classes) engendering a better spirit than before. Figuring unobtrusively, but effectively, were Resident Associate Mr. J. W. McRae, with the men his first full year, and President George Tooby. Other officers were Robert Jerauld, Charles Thompson, and Richard Ridgeway. The Chairman of Associates, Dr. Gilbert, has often lent his presence and counsel. * The first concerted function of the fall was a smoker held to welcome the freshmen who were chosen as members. They full soon entered into the life in good measure, impelled by Upperclass Committee "daddies" and sophomore "buddies."

Widely varying views on entertainment have been given consideration in this house, rather uniquely. Individualism was satisfied with an excursion to the play, "Tobacco Road." A gala spring dance completed the major affairs. * In interhouse athletics, Ricketts has been quite successful, having topped the heap in both football and basketball. Other sports were also enjoyed, and a large number of varsity and freshman sport awards brought points. The house rule of required participation was not needed in the case of the zealous freshmen, and other classes were scarcely outdone in their support. * During the year, Lincoln, the trophy for forensics, was won, and later defended from abduction. Abe was donated by Mr. Fleming, and has acted as quite a stimulus to the spell-binders. * The year ends with the men of Ricketts House a group of confirmed individualists, knit together by preference alone, but even with such a basically loose bond, a group of some strength.

PAGE 84 THROOP CLUB * A year ago the Non-Resident Club, a heterogeneous mass of undergraduate humanity, was the only organization here at Tech to which an off-campus man could turn for social life, athletics, and general recreation. This club was totally inadequate for such a purpose, suffering both from lack of money and correct organization, and from its own inertia. * Realizing the increasing irritation caused by such a situation, the newly-elected officers determined to make some radical changes and sweeping reforms.

A strong athletic program, new types of club meetings, a brilliant series of social events, and all backed up by over two hundred dollars in the club treasury. The lid was officially pried off with a stag, in which heavy gambling and equally heavy doughnut and cider inhaling figured prominently. * There followed during the three terms a series of dances, at least three a term, which ranged all the way from semi-formal to a "cotton and cords" affair. Among the others were a Hallowe'en masquerade, a barn dance, a semi-formal dinner-dance, and a football rally dance, the last in conjunction with the student houses. In addition, there was a theatre party, a treasure hunt, and an ice skating get-together. * The Throop Club has maintained a high position in intramural athletics.

Fleming, Dabney, and Blacker followed in the order given. Probably the most remarkable feature of the Football series was the fact that in no game did the losing team score any points. Only once during the year did the teams have to resort to a decision on the basis of first downs. The scoreless Fleming-Dabney game was deciard in favor of Fleming, with five first downs to Dabney's four. * Second term opened with basketball as the major issue. Ricketts took first by making a clean slate of its games. Fleming was second, while Throop, Dabney and Blacker finished in that order.

The climax is reached when, in a fit of remorse at his treach-ery, he stabs Pierre, who is being tortured on the wheel, and then turns his dagger on himself: Belvidera, learning of his death, dies of a broken heart. * Douglas Rollow had the best part of his career in "Venice Preserved," and he made the most of it. His work in the last two acts, particularly in his scenes with Pierre, was especially commendable. Edward Kasnicka, already well known on the campus for his ability as an actor, gave a performance which ranked above even his usual high standard. He has the happy faculty of performing effectively and at the same time naturally. Alfred Slater, whose part offered him comparatively little opportunity, was entirely satisfactory as Priuli. * Herma Reach did the outstanding work of the play in the part of Belvidera.

Stong, the band has at last shown itself to be an organization of note. The officers, "Brother Bill" Cox, the live-wire manager, and Martin Poggi, the equally aggressive librarian and general helper, have produced something they can well be proud of. * The band started out the year with both feet on the ground and an increased membership due to the influx of twenty-one freshmen. With this for a talking point, Bill Cox was able to convince Wally Johnson that an organization of fifty men should have student body support and the result was that about half way through the football season the band blossomed out with a spectacular new set of uniforms, consisting of a brilliant orange shirt with a white tie, forester's hat and white flannels. The band's first appearance in these new uniforms was at the Oxy game. Up until the half-time all that could be seen by the spectators were a few instruments and a lot of men in overcoats. As soon as the whistle blew all the lights were suddenly turned they went on again, there was the band resplendent in their new uniforms in a long row on the The gasp from the crowd almost extinguished the lights again. The band then executed some very BAND MEMBERS J. Arnold W. Cardwell F. Dion A. DuFresne W. Ellery R. Forward William G. Cox, Pres.-Mgr. C. Heath L. Hulbirt F. Lawrence T. Meanley J. Powell W.

Wickett complicated and spectacular marching during which they formed an O for Oxy and a T for Tech. * This year the annual band trip was to Santa Barbara for the football game and the band put on a twenty-minute program between the halves. That night the boys stayed in Santa Barbara and swept the local girls off their feet. * Much could be said of the activities of the band during the year; the most notable incident being a Monday Assembly near the middle of the second term in which the band seemed to go utterly beserk; however, it was all a stunt, and was so well received, due no doubt to the introduction of three good-looking P. J. C. co-eds, that the enthusiastic student body literally howled for more. On January Ist the Cal Tech band had the distinction of being the official reviewer's band for the Tournament of Roses Parade and later on in the day combined with the Bulldog band and the A. L. S. Alumna band to form the two hundred piece "singing band" of Alabama during the Rose Bowl game. The band put on a three-hour performance at the annual Flintridge Horse Show and furnished excellent music for commencement. * Orchids to the band for this year's work and we expect that next year will be a banner year, with Poggi at the helm.

PAGE 109 DEBATE * Perhaps our most successful forensic season—the largest varsity squad in school history— * Thus is summed up the record of the 1934-35 forensic team which centered around the activities of Paul Hammond, Wallace Johnson, and Bruce Beckley. The climax of their efforts came in the Pi Kappa Delta Regional Tournament in which Hammond and Johnson were semi-finalists in debate and Beckley won fourth place in oratory. The former two had the distinction of giving both finalists their one and only defeat in the tournament. * Hammond and Johnson were also semi-finalists in the Pacific Northwest Tournament held at McMinnville, Oregon. Again in the Redlands Tournament these two stalwarts were in the first five of thirty-five teams. * The Conference Tournament found Robert Mahoney and Thomas Griffiths joining Hammond and Johnson in an unsuccessful attempt to wrest the championship cup from Redlands. * The remainder of the squad, consisting of Levy and Bush, Edwards and Getzman, Price and Miller, Briggs and Kasnicka, Dekker and Deahl, and Tulagin and Poggi, had an average of ten debates apiece. * In oratory, Beckley was outstanding; besides his fine record at Stockton he won second place in the conference tourna-ment. In extempore speaking, Hammond won third in the conference and made a successful showing in that event at the Convention of Western Teachers of Speech Association in Salt Lake City. * Freshman debate was also active with Stone, Allen, Elliott, Lowell, Beavon, Lewis, Bowen, Kolb, Ellis, Van Horn and Walker taking part under the able direction of Kenneth Pitzer, a star of last year's debating squad. * Nor should we overlook two special varsity debates. Hammond and Johnson won a decision over two Pasadena College coeds in a regular Monday Assembly to open the season, and were joined by Mahoney to finish the year's activity in a radio debate with Occidental.

TECH * The California Tech, under the able and successful leadership of Editor Victor Veysey, established itself among the front line of College weeklies during the past year's publica-tion. Featuring an active, though conserva-tive, editorial policy and an interesting and varied journalistic make-up, the Tech increased its circulation and gained new and consistent readers in the usually uninterested student body. * The increase in circulation was brought about by mailing weekly issues to alumni members in good standing. By means of pointed editorials, the Tech achieved two other sweeping triumphs; the seating of freshmen in a special section at assembly and an extra student body dance on the year's profits. * Bill Campbell as News Editor conducted an accurate and thorough news bureau, keeping tab on all interesting events emanating from the various campus sources, no matter how ob-scure, with remarkable consistency. Hugh Colvin, as Sport Editor, appeased the campus thirst for sport news with one of the best sport pages in the paper's history. Near the end of Second Row: Wickett, Maines, J. Taylor, Jensen, Colvin, Baldwin - Front Row: J. Edwards, Levet, Veysey, Editor, Elconin, D. Miller, Scott. PAGE 1 1 0 his term of office, however, scholastic pressure exceeded the safety point and Bill Elconin, for some time the Tech star reporter, took over the position and kept its high standard intact. The sport department, for its continued journalistic excellence, received Professor Mac-Minn's acknowledgment as the best written department in the Tech. * The financial success of the Tech was due to the efficient work of Business Manager Arthur Frost and his staff. * The entire staff, coordinated under the in-valuable, interesting weekly instruction of Professor MacMinn, provided the student body with an excellent publication. * At the close of the second term, during the annual student body elections, Bill Elconin was selected to succeed Veysey as editor. In appointing Art Frost and Walton Wickett as joint news editors, and Noble Maines as sport editor, with George Carroll and Hugh Colvin as his associate editors, Elconin seems to have insured the Tech of another period of journalistic success. Ralph Haver, selected business manager at the same time, promises also to continue the financial healthiness of the paper. PAGE 1 1 1 BIG T * The year has rolled around. It is now soon to be a memory of something accomplished, something done. The new editor is about to assume his duties. One can look with favor upon the finished work and be glad that the association with the staff, though soon to be severed, will never be forgotten. All the fears of writing the book myself, with no cooperation from the staff, have long been allayed. Much to my surprise there has been volunteer labor for the bothersome tasks of composing articles and garnering information and data. It has truly been a delightful relationship. * To each one in the group below I extend the hope that they will continue to prosper and serve the incoming editor wherever it is pos-sible. They are an eager lot. It is fellows like these who in giving to life get the most in return. difficulties faced us in commencing the book. Contracts here and there filled every moment of the opening period of the work. Legal aspects had to be surmounted. That is all passed now. It was a fine experience which at the time seemed almost to be the undoing of one. As this page is being written most of the worries are over, little is left to be done. * For the financial success of the annual one needs only to look toward Bob Hallanger and "Brainstorm" Rosencranz. Hallanger sold most of the advertising while "Rosey" brought in brilliant ideas for the sales campaign. Tyler, who will have his own worries financing the book next year, pitched in and sold ads for this year. Although, when all is said and done, it is the Student Body as a whole which has made this Big T a success in every way. To them belongs the credit.

In an effort to achieve the first aim, the club has provided a series of meetings of a technical nature, at which men from the industrial field as well as from the Institute faculty spoke. One of the outstanding and most popular meetings was a glass-blowing demonstration by Mr. W. Clancy, the Institute glass blower. * To carry out its social obligations, the club sponsored two evening dinners during the year. The banquets proved extremely popu-lar; at the first the members were addressed by Mr. Walter Schmidt, one of the country's outstanding industrial chemists. * The greatest task undertaken by the organization is the arranging of the chemistry department's exhibits for the annual Open House program. In addition to the usual exhibits in the laboratories, this year a series of two lectures was given: the first on Recent Industrial Developments in Organic Chemistry and the second a demonstration of glassblowing technique. * The success of the club activities was in no small manner due to the cooperation and work of the officers. They were: president, Emerson W. Green; first vice-president, James Davies; second vice-president, Chester Lindsay; secre-tary, Bill Campbell; treasurer, C. S. Garner.
