�Cover Design Stimulus
To depict the administration's intention
to relocate L . I . T . at a new campus i n 1956,
a graphic illustration was conceived for the
cover design. A compass, w i t h needle point
offset, is intended to symbolize the true
northwest position of the new campus.

�DEDICATED
As we all know h i m . . .
�The familiar smile and sincere interest i n the welfare of the student w i l l m a r k
the graduates memory of Murrill K. Woolford. H i s friendly interest i n all phases
of student activity comprise a m a j o r part of the education at Lawrence Institute of
Technology.
Mr. Woolford began his career at Lawrence Tech. i n 1936 as a part time night school instructor. A dynamic personality, Mr. Woolford progressed t h r o u g h the stages
of being head of the English Department i n September 1943, head of testing and
guidance in September 1947, to his present position of Assistant Dean.
Mr. Woolford's personal life exemplifies his vitality and interest i n just about
everything. A n Elder i n the Presbyterian Church, president of an adult bible class,
and chairman of the reception committee for a local lodge are a few of the various
activities in which he is engaged aside f r o m his duties at Lawrence Tech. A n a v i d
hobbyist, Mr. Woolford has a w o o d w o r k i n g shop i n his home complete i n every
detail. Another of his hobbies is traveling. H a v i n g toured Mexico and Canada, he hopes
to take a trip to Alaska next f a l l .
Ability to gain a student's confidence
facets of Mr. Woolford's personality.
almost at sight is one of the remarkable
It serves h i m well i n his public relations w o r k w i t h M i c h i g a n high schools and
freshman orientation classes.
We the graduates of Lawrence Tech. offer our gratitude for events too innumerable
to mention. Perhaps our greatest gratitude takes f o r m i n our memories of y o u , which
will always be a part of us. We gratefully dedicate this yearbook to y o u , M r . W o o l f o r d ,
a great man and true friend.
As he appears . . . ever so often
to his affectionate Mrs. Woolford.

�Foreword . . .
Progress is more than a mere w o r d . W i t h i n its f u l l meaning lies the greatest
accomplishments of w o r l d history. W i t h o u t i t , all would be futile . . . life indeed
would be reduced to a mere shamble . . . nations would become decadent . . . cities
would rust and crumble . . .
I t is fortunate that w i t h i n the minds of great men, this word is uppermost i n their
thoughts. I t is more than just thoughts, i t is an ever-present challenge . . . the challenge
to go on to greater heights, to achieve that which to many seems just beyond reach . . .
We at Lawrence Institute of Technology are fortunate indeed . . . privileged to
have w i t h i n our walls, men of great caliber, men w i l l i n g to gamble on tomorrow's
horizons . . . men who w i l l go and go, that we may learn the f u l l meaning of the w o r d
jirogress . . .
Thus i t is w i t h pride that we direct not only our " L - B o o k , " but our entire student
body's attention to the community in which we w i l l soon become a part of . . . a
community already enhanced by the nationally famous " N o r t h l a n d " , by wonderful
highways and more to come, w i t h gracious homes of many p r o g r e s s i v e minded
citizens . . .
That we should become a part of this community is an honor . . . an honor that
we shall endeavor to have returned to us when we have shown to those who are our
new neighbors, the fullness of our being among them. We look f o r w a r d to the time
when we shall hear . . . " Y o u are no longer a p o r t i o n of this community, but the heart
of its wonderful progress . . ."
�FAITH OF T H E ENGINEER
I AM AN ENGINEER.
In my profession I take deep pride, but without vainglory; to it I owe solemn obligations that I am eager to fulfill.
As an Engineer, I will participate in none but honest enterprise. To
him that has engaged my services, as employer or client, I will give the
utmost of performance and fidelity.
When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given without reservation for the public good. From special capacity springs the obligation
to use it well in the service of humanity; and I accept the challenge that
this implies.
Jealous of the high repute of my calling, I will strive to protect the
interests and the good name of any engineer that I know to be deserving;
but I will not shrink, should duty dictate, from disclosing the truth regarding anyone that, by unscrupulous act, has shown himself unworthy of
the profession.
Since the Age of Stone, human progress has been conditioned by the
genius of my professional forbears. By them have been rendered usable
to mankind Nature's vast resources of material and energy. By them
have been vitalized and turned to practical account the principles of
science and the revelations of technology. Except for this heritage of
accumulated experience, my efforts would be feeble. I dedicate myself to
the dissemination of engineering knowledge, and especially to the instruction of younger members of my profession in all its arts and traditions.
To my fellows I pledge, in the same full measure I ask of them, iru
tegrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and devotion to the standards and the dignity of our profession; with the consciousness, always,
that our special expertness carries with it the obligation to serve humanity
with complete sincerity.

�Retrospect
1955
"Technical skill can achieve most any k i n d of a miracle—whether i t be new forms
of entertainment or better w o r k i n g conditions. The engineer's w o r k is that of the
pioneer. Already he is using that pioneering instinct i n business. Soon the technically
trained men w i l l take the reins of industry and government."
I t was this f i r m belief i n the future of the engineer that motivated Dean Russell
Ellsworth Lawrence to found an engineering college i n the midst of economic chaos.
W h i l e less farsighted men came f o r t h w i t h prediction of gloom i n 1932, Dean Lawrence
began the fulfillment of a dream, to educate engineers as leaders. He d i d not live to
see its completion, as death came two years later. His legacy to the people of Detroit
was a r i c h one, Lawrence Institute of Technology, a gleaming new campus school that
has become a reality.
We, the graduating seniors, w i l l not have the opportunity of using the new school.
But like Dean Lawrence, we the spirit of L I T w i l l see Lawrence Institute of Technology
rise to even greater heights.
As we take our places as men i n the w o r l d , our heart felt gratitude extends to
the man whose u n d y i n g f a i t h and courage i n the face of seemingly insurmountable
obstacles made i t possible.
�Vicissitude of Locality
The students of Lawrence Institute of Technology,
d u r i n g the fall term of 1955, w i l l attend classes i n a magnificently new b u i l d i n g .
A new school is more than merely a new b u i l d i n g . I t
is a visage of future greatness.
Prospective engineering students w i l l view the new
b u i l d i n g as a concrete example of the school's progressive
a b i l i t y . As future graduates, they w i l l benefit greatly b y
the prestige of the superbly new educational institution
that Lawrence Institute of Technology has become.
The graduate of past years w i l l sense a feeling of pride
and accomplishment i n the g r o w t h of his A l m a Mater.

NORTHLAND
Situated at Northwestern and Eight Mile Road is Northland. This sprawling
shopping center occupies the land which Lawrence Institute of Technology had o r i g inally planned to use as its new campus site, however, the location was later changed
and now occupies a tract of land bordering Northwestern and Ten M i l e Road.
Now i t is possible for residents of Northwest Detroit and surrounding
to shop i n leisure amid well planned retail variety stores.
suburbs
W i t h the construction of Lawrence Institute of Technology and N o r t h l a n d i n this

for future communities.

E. G. LAWRENCE
Dear Graduates of '55:
Y o u have the distinction of being the last graduating class i n
the o r i g i n a l b u i l d i n g of our College. Y o u r s w i l l be the memory of
ivy-covered walls and dusty, well-used classrooms and laboratories
which have housed a l l of your a l u m n i predecessors. As we w a l k
through these ancient halls we see signs of many graduates: the
carved initials of a man who d i d n ' t come home f r o m I w o J i m a ;
the " t e m p o r a r y " p a r t i t i o n , fifteen years of age, which a top engineer
of one of America's greatest corporations, helped to b u i l d as a student
w o r k i n g his way through Tech. Yes, there are signs everywhere of
men we have worked w i t h and of men whose friendships are dear
to us.
Y o u r s is the responsibility of keeping alive the traditions of our
college—not only those which are enjoyable, but also the traditions
of hard w o r k and conscientious study which have always marked the
L . I . T . m a n . These traditions must be transplanted to our new campus.
By y o u r example, through f i a t e r n a l and social associations w i t h
undergraduates of the f u t u r e , you can and you w i l l make this v i t a l
transition of the L . I . T . t r a d i t i o n a reality.
W e hope y o u w i l l come to feel i n your hearts that the new campus
is your A l m a Mater. Be sure to visit y o u r old college friends i n their
new surroundings at every o p p o r t u n i t y . They w i l l be happy to see
you.

�Academic Heads
�Doctor EDWIN 0. Graeffe
Dean of Day School
Doctor Graeffe has been w i t h Lawrence Institute of Technology since its beginning
i n 1932. He was one of the three associates who j o i n e d Dean Russell E. Lawrence i n
the venture of f o u n d i n g an engineering college.
D u r i n g the early days of the school, Doctor Graeffe, i n addition to teaching, f o u n d
himself involved i n such various duties, as w o r k i n g i n the book store, counseling
students, and coaching the fencing team. Doctor Graeffe has since devoted himself to
teaching and administrative duties.
D u r i n g the f o r t h c o m i n g fall term at the new campus, his duties as dean of day
school w i l l be greatly intensified, as the day school facilities are to be greatly expanded.
Nevertheless, Doctor Graeffe w i l l continue teaching, believing a dean should keep i n
close contact w i t h the student.
A magnificent speaker, scholar, and w o r l d traveler. Doctor Graeffe has enthralled
students w i t h his lectures f o r years.
He plans to travel throughout Europe w i t h his f a m i l y this summer.
Hans G. Erneman
Dean of Night School
Professor Erneman came to Lawrence Institute of Technology i n 1941, as an
instructor i n the Mechanical Engineering Department. I n 1944 he became assistant
head of the Department, and head of the Department i n 1945. I n the f a l l of 1953 he
became Dean of N i g h t School.
Professor Erneman typifies the engineer. As a graduate of the Technical University of B e r l i n , he possesses a remarkable knowledge of his profession. This capacity
of j u d g i n g soundly and dealing broadly w i t h facts has permitted h i m to become an
accomplished instructor i n both the analytical and practical aspects of engineering.
In teaching, Professor Erneman employs a combination of logic, r o l l i c k i n g good
h u m o r , and a vigorous personality to accentuate his daily lectures. A t present. Professor
Erneman is correlating the laboratory installation at the new school. Great effort is
being placed i n i m p r o v i n g the laboratory facilities of the new campus. Foreseeing the
trend toward the gas turbine i n future power development, Professor Erneman is
g u i d i n g the new Mechanical engineering installation i n this d i r e c t i o n .
Mordica M. Ryan
Director of Technical Institute
Professor Ryan became a member of the faculty of Lawrence Institute of Technology
in 1945. I n 1952 Professor Ryan left Lawrence Tech. f o r a two-year period to accept
a position as chief chemist f o r the Kaiser Engine d i v i s i o n . I n 1954 he returned to
Lawrence Tech. i n a new capacity—Director of the Technical Institute.
As Director of the Institute, Professor Ryan arranged the c u r r i c u l a f o r the various
programs offered and supervised their presentation. I n this capacity he keeps i n close
contact w i t h both high schools and industry. I n his relationships w i t h h i g h schools,
Professor Ryan counsels both college and institute students. As head of the institute
he must anticipate the future needs of industry and provide the t r a i n i n g facilities called
for. I n addition he keeps industry i n f o r m e d of the availability of prospective institute
graduates.
We the graduates of 1955 remember Professor Ryan as our chemistry instructor,
being one of the last fortunate classes to have h i m serve i n this capacity. One of the
finest instructors ever to teach at Lawrence Tech., Professor Ryan always enjoyed the
respect and a d m i r a t i o n of his students. Sincere, conscientious, these qualities that
endeared h i m to us as a teacher serve h i m and i n good stead as Director of the Technical Institute.
�Department Chairmen
The faculty of Lawrence Institute of Technology is composed of full-time and parttime teachers. The basis f o r the selection of this faculty is three-fold. Consideration is
given to the academic preparation of the teacher, his knowledge of the relationship of
his w o r k to industrial practices, and his previous teaching experience. Many of the
part-time instructors i n the evening p r o g r a m are d r a w n f r o m local industries where
they apply on their daily j o b the knowledge and techniques they teach i n their classes
at Lawrence Institute of Technology.
This not only keeps the content of the various
courses practical and up-to-date, but also gives the students an opportunity to get
acquainted w i t h the k i n d of persons who w i l l be their future co-workers and supervisors.
I t is w i t h this basic forethought that the department chairmen supervise the activity of
each department.

THEIR FUTURE
The graduates of 1955 w i l l soon be asked to
take their places i n the w o r l d . What shall be
their destiny?
These men of t o m o r r o w must now i m p r i n t
upon society the value of their past four years
of education. A l t h o u g h for most, the years of
f o r m a l education have come to an end, they
realize that the search for knowledge never
ends. Each i n d i v i d u a l i n order to provide or
improve theories i n his chosen field must beg i n his real education. The education that only
life and experience can give, for knowledge
alone does not constitute wisdom.
I t is an uncertain era that these men are entering, but surely an era that can be the greatest
i n our country's history. I t is these graduates
and others like them who must look to the
future. The engineer, whatever his respective
field, possesses great potential for i m p r o v i n g
the lives of his fellow men. Civilization is
never ending progress. We see i t everywhere.
I n our schools, our bridges, technical advancements, etc. I t is the future w o r k of these
graduates to ensure this c o n t i n u a t i o n of
progress.
As these men leave the comparative t r a n q u i l i t y of L . I . T . for the fiercely competitive
w o r l d , they carry w i t h them the knowledge
that they have heen more than adequately
prepared. T h e i r confidence i n their school has
been transmitted to confidence i n themselves,
the basis of success. Knowledge, confidence,
f a i t h , and time w i l l prove their destiny.

J PROM
One of the most popular social events of the year is the J-Prom sponsored
by the j u n i o r class.
Faced w i t h the decision on the part of the school administration to perhaps cancel this event due to repeated financial loss, a meeting was held at
which an extremely earnest endeavor was guaranteed to insure success.
W i t h the results of this meeting presented to the administration, a green
light was given for the preparation of the J-Prom. Very quickly the wheels
of operation began to produce. Tickets were p r i n t e d ; a band and location
secured immediately. A large advertising poster was prepared. I t read

On A p r i l 1 1 , 1947, the Lawrence Institute of Technology Student Branch of the
Society of Automotive Engineers was chartered. This society is an organization whose
object is to proinote the A r t s and Sciences, Standards, and Engineering Practices connected w i t h the design, construction, and utilization of automotive apparatus.
As a member of the Student Branch, the engineering student may attend the regular
meetings of the Detroit Section of the S.A.E. and become f a m i l i a r w i t h the recent
advances i n engineering techniques, while hearing many of the country's top engineers.
Included i n the Student Membership is a year subscription to the S.A.E. J o u r n a l , which
contains technical reports on the improvements and developments i n all phases of
engineering.
Each year the Detroit Section of the Society promotes a field t r i p to w h i c h all
student members are invited. Scene of the 1955 t r i p was the U n i t e d States Rubber
Company. The field t r i p included a plant tour, dinner, and a talk on h i g h speed tires.
Films and slides on the subject were also shown.
A Student Branch is established w i t h the purpose of acquainting student members
w i t h the many facets of engineering. This purpose is fulfilled by regular Section
meetings and the S.A.E. Journal i n conjunction w i t h meetings of the Student Branch
itself.

the five fraternities was formed to correlate certain activities and interests for their
m u t u a l benefit.
One of the p r i m a r y functions of the council is to screen all pledge candidates for
scholarship requirements necessary for application to anyone of the five fraternities
on campus. Regulation of the opening dates of the rushing season are also controlled
by the council. D u r i n g the school year the social calendar dates of each fraternity are
supervised to discourage conflicts.
The Chairmanship of the council rotates annually and d u r i n g the past school year
Richard Mitchell of Rho Delta P h i acted as chairman.

I n 1933, w i t h the help of Mr. Kenneth Mead, head
of the Physics Department at Lawrence Tech., the Epsilon chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon was founded.
Necessitated by the rather spontaneous g r o w t h of the
Epsilon chapter, a f r a t e r n i t y r o o m was constructed on
the f o u r t h floor of L . I . T . I n 1937, the purchase of a home
i n Highland Park, M i c h i g a n , permitted A . G . U . to become the first f r a t e r n i t y on campus to have quarters
separated f r o m the school. D u r i n g W o r l d W a r I I , the obligations concerning the chapter house became too great,
whereupon the Epsilon chapter sold the house and returned to the f o u r t h floor r o o m for meetings.
tives f r o m each f r a t e r n i t y assembled to discuss the d r a f t i n g
of a constitution. I n M a y of that year, the constitution
was passed and the I.F.C. became an official organization
of L . I . T . , largely t h r o u g h the efforts of A . G . U .
Last M a y , A l p h a Gamma Upsilon held it's 29th national convention i n F o r t Wayne, I n d i a n a . Festivities
included a song feast at the annual stag party, followed
i n the m o r n i n g by a b o w l i n g tournament, at which Epsilon chapter took honors for the t h i r d consecutive year.
A t 8:00 P . M . a convention ball was held, a prelude to
the climax of the convention which was a breakfast banquet held the next m o r n i n g .

The M i c h i g a n Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma
Kappa F r a t e r n i t y was founded at Lawrence Institute
of Technology i n 1948 by twelve men seeking to
develop a spirit of brotherhood and to promote
interest i n social and scholastic activities.
I n an attempt to achieve the fulfillment of this
goal, many constructive as well as social activities
were undertaken this year. A food concession at the
M i c h i g a n State F a i r and the annual M i l l i o n a i r e s '
Party were the prime fund-raising activities. The
money earned was used for the annual Christmas
Party put on for a needy f a m i l y i n the Detroit area.
A Christmas tree and all the t r i m m i n g s , a Santa
Claus, and gifts for the entire f a m i l y helped to make
a less fortunate f a m i l y a little happier at Christmas.
F r o m the proceeds of this year's M i l l i o n a i r e s ' Party,
SlOO was donated to the Lawrence Tech. Building
F u n d by the f r a t e r n i t y .
Social events for the year included the Presentat i o n Banquet held at Bill's N o r t h e r n I n n , steak and
weiner roasts, a Halloween and a New Year's Eve
Party.
Two very successful pledge seasons were initiated
and carried out this past year.
Mr. James Hobson became the new faculty advisor
for the f r a t e r n i t y .

��Phi Kappa Upsilon
Officers seated left to r i g h t : Donald Leonard, Vice President; Dave Moore, President; Allen Patterson, Secretary. Standing are William Thumm, Chaplain; Walter Levon, W a r d e n ; and Ralph Kaphengst, Treasurer.
P h i Kappa Upsilon is represented at Lawrence Tech by
the Alpha Chapter i n night school and the Delta Chapter
in day school. The oldest fraternity on campus, P h i Kappa
Upsilon, was founded August 17, 1932, at the suggestion
of the late Dean Russell E. Lawrence, the founder of Lawrence Institute of Technology. A t present, the f r a t e r n i t y
boasts a collegiate membership at Lawrence Tech of fiftyseven and an alumni meinbership of over nine hundred.
The fraternity actually had its beginning back at the
University of Detroit where Dean Lawrence had just completed his fifteenth year as Dean of Engineering. The
Dynamics Club (an engineering society at U . of D . ) was
the organization out of which P h i Kappa Upsilon grew.
As the oldest and largest professional engineering fraternity i n the Detroit area. P h i Kappa Upsilon has long
endeavored to better serve the colleges and the students
where chapters have been organized. Here at L . l . T . the
members of the f r a t e r n i t y gave their u n t i r i n g support to
such school functions as the Frosh Fling and the J-Prom.
P h i Kappa Upsilon was also active socially. Several
outdoor functions, a weiner roast and a Halloween Party,
were held. I n addition. Delta Chapter held a New Year's
Eve Party which helped to usher the new year i n for the
f r a t e r n i t y . A l p h a Chapter sponsored the T h i r d Degree
Dinner held at Carl's Chop House, which climaxed the
last pledge season and saw nine men admitted to the Alpha
Chapter. The h i g h l i g h t of the last year for P h i Kappa
Upsilon was the twenty-second annual dinner dance which
was held at the Hawthorne Valley Country Club. More
than one hundred and fifty couples, including a hundred
a l u m n i , took part i n last year's dinner dance. A n even
more ambitious social calendar is being planned for the
coming year.
D u r i n g the coming years the chapter at L . l . T . plans to
put f o r t h an even greater effort to help the college and its
students progress towards m a k i n g Lawrence Tech one of
the finest engineering colleges i n the mid-west.

I n early 1938 sixteen men realized the need for a new social fraternity. W i t h the
help of Dean Hendrickson they banded together to f o r m the Alpha Chapter of Rho
Delta P h i Fraternity i n November 1938. M a n y hours into weeks were spent planning
and organizing the constitution, the pledge manual, and the pledge season. M a r c h 5,
1939 marked the official inception of Rho Delta P h i as fourteen charter members received their pins and certificates.
Since its beginning Rho Delta P h i has constantly remained active. The Fraternity
has formed additional Beta and Alpha-Omega Chapters for day school and alumnae
members respectively.
Members are now planning a summer dance and other events to help raise funds
for the future Fraternity house.
Rho Delta P h i activities were many, i n c l u d i n g two pledge mixers, one stag and one
d r a g f o r m a l dinners, wienie roasts, house warmings, and stag parties.

keys to interchangeability
ANALYTICAL ENGINEERING • CORRECT INSPECTION TOOLS • MANUFACTURING SKILL
This applies to all component parts. Vinco is noted for
spline gages and master gears; two inspection tools that
provide the most practical and rapid means for checking
splined parts and gears. The use of these tools is vital in
achieving interchangeability of splined parts and gears.
You can rely upon Vinco to analyze any spline problem
and supply the proper gages for the complete quality
control of splined parts.
Vinco master gears have proved to be the most practical
means for checking the rolling action of production gears.

��The Senior Class of '52
Presents the
�DEDICATION
"The man behind the man, behind the
g u n " is a phrase born during the war years
to bring recognition to the many people who
did not fight on the battlefield . . . but
whose efforts were hidden away among the
wheels of industry.
Here at Lawrence Tech we have such a
man. He is frequently found in day and
night school, "bending an ear" to his students' personal or scholastic difficulties, giving advice, tempered w i t h the knowledge he
has gained while teaching Psychology and
Sociology in our school, and while working
on his doctorate in Guidance and Education.
Because of his obligations as Faculty
Sponsor of the Tech News and the L Book,
he can be found spending many hours proofreading copy for both publications.
Despite his extra curricular activities he
still finds time to sharpen the wits and the
pens of the men who successfully negotiate
the trials and pitfalls of Report W r i t i n g .
Proudly . . . the Senior Class takes this
opportunity of dedicating the 1952 " L Book
to Professor Carl M. Einhorn.
�PROFESSOR CARL M. EINHORN
��Some study . . .
Some go home
While others relax
�Administration
The process of becoming an engineer is a
long and difficult one for the student.
Courses of study, homework, school activities make the four years of college life a bewildering sequence. When graduation finally comes, the student gets the time to look
in retrospect at the individuals who have
stood by, silently and helpfully, through this
maze of activity. He finally realizes the extent and complexity of the administrative
planning i t took for h i m to achieve the success of graduation.
I n this retrospective glimpse, the student
sees the administrative staff as a well-coordinated, highly integrated group, working
harmoniously so that each student, individually, and each class, collectively, w i l l find
college a worthwhile and intriguing venture
in life.
I t is w i t h this thought i n mind, that the
" L " Book introduces the people who have
made our college career into four years of
never-to-be-forgotten, purposeful a c t i v i t y —

�Class
of
^52
The class of 1952—born in the wake of
World War II, ruptured by the Korean
War, and facing another World Crisis,
pauses at this moment of their personal
triumph to catch its breath, and look out
at a dismal world. With each passing day
our earth seems to show more and more
unrest at the muddle that mankind has
made on her surface.
Can the fundamentals gained in four
years of study help us with this basic challenge? Do the Laws of Archimedes, Newton, or Pascal apply? Which formulae will
bring out the answer? Does the slide rule
help?
The problems of life are not readily applicable to the laws that these men propounded. Similar ingredients frequently
bring different results.
The class of '52 now needs to apply their
abilities to social problems facing them and
their country. They must step back to get
the proper perspective of the situation, and
then, with a clear mind and without preju
dice, attempt a solution. They must use
the basic weapon of mankind . . . the ability to think.
��SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS
Day School Officers are: President Terry Todd, S e c r e t a r y Skip Drane, Treasurer Jack Ferrel, and Vice President William Crawford
Night School Officers: Secretary Jess Darnell, President George Crittenden, Treasurer Kenneth Hutzel, and Vice President Stephen Lutz

The one social event that all seniors look
f o r w a r d to is the annual Senior Stag.
A t this
time the students and faculty let out all the
stops and meet on equal footing.
T h i s year
the stag was held at the Club Eagle and i t
proved a great success under the direction of
Social Chairman John Boes.
A f t e r the banquet several student groups
presented skits.
N o t to be outdone the faculty
also entertained w i t h jokes and skits.
T h e '52
Senior Stag is one event that w i l l be remembered for a long time.

I n view of his excellent cartoon w o r k , the
Senior Class is pleased to honor Art Wasek
w i t h a special section i n our annual.
A r t , a graduating Senior, is considered one
of the most talented collegiate artists by the
Lawrence Tech students. H e has w o r k e d as a
cartoonist on the Tech News for the past t w o
years during w h i c h time his w o r k has been
immensely enjoyed.
The situations depicted i n A r t ' s cartoons
have shown sparkling originality and finesse.
A remarkable feature is that A r t has never
taken any formal lessons but has developed his
talent strictly as a hobby..
N o w i n the final stretch of his collegiate
career A r t is looking f o r w a r d to bigger and
better things after graduating. A civil engineering major. A r t hopes to combine his t w o
talents for a career. The graduating Class of

Activities
Lectures, dancing, ping pong, chess and
hosts of other varied activities present themselves to the L I T student as the September
term gets under way. Extra-curricular and
curriculum-oriented groups are found in
large numbers on the L I T campus.
The typical student usually finds himself
participating in one or more of these activities every day of the school week—even if i t
is only to play a game of ping pong or supervise a game of chess. However, while he
does seek to relax in some of these ways,
the L I T student also finds enough time to
belong to a number of curriculum-oriented
organizations. Student membership i n such
organizations as S.A.E., S.A.M., and others
increases every year.
But these are only two aspects of the activities i n which a student can join. Social
events, such as the senior stag, the " J " Prom,
and intra-mural competition in selected
sports keep everyone i n an eager state of
anticipation of the next event on the calendar. A n d i n realization of his loyalty to the
school and the country, students turn out
en masse in participating in the Founder's
Day exhibits and in the drive for "Blood for
Korea."
A n d so i t goes. Every month enables the
individual to gain more of the social and intellectual requisites that society w i l l impose
upon h i m when he graduates. Finally, graduation time comes and the student becomes
a confident leader in society, thankful that
the activities fostered upon h i m i n school
have made h i m a respected and responsible
member of his community and his country.
��STUDENT
Retiring President John Lauer passes the gavel and his
congratulations to incoming President Robert Parker.
The bimonthly Student Council meetings provide a forum of
self government for all clubs, organizations, and fraternities at
Lawrence Tech. During the past school year the Council has
been headed by President Robert Parker.
Heated discussions are the rule rather than the exception at
these meetings. However, the members have again this year
shown their ability to work together toward a common goal
after a program has been established.
In addition to its legislative, executive, and judicial duties the
Council also controls all social activities, awards the Lambda
Iota Tau keys, organizes the annual school wide elections, and
controls the Tech News and L Book.
Mr. Burton Garrell
This year the Council sponsored the Homecoming Dance and
under the direction of Social Chairman Skip Drane it proved to
be One of the top social evcnts of the year.
If any student government group is to be successful a close
liaison must be maintained with the Administration. Our Council has been very fortunate in this respect to have had the guidance of Mr. Burton Garrell as Faculty Sponsor for the 1951-52
school year.

�TECH
For news about Lawrence Tech, read the TECH
NEWS. Yes, this is the name of the bi-weekly
publication at LIT. Its offices hidden away in the
catacombs of the basement, are typical of the scene
at a metropolitan daily, but on a smaller scale.
Directing this_ important public relations medium
during the year was Editor-in-Chief Ernie Kostyo.
Only a junior, Ernie previously worked as a re-
porter, rewrite man, and associate editor. The outstanding features of the paper this year has been
its fine news coverage and varied page make-up.
Administrator of finances on the paper has been
Art Wasek, business manager and cartoonist. His
cartoons have enhanced the appeal of the paper and
have also contributed to the success of the L Book.
Although primarily published for Tech students
and alumni, the staff has strived to publicize and
thus increase the prestige of Lawrence Tech. Unlike many other college newspapers, over 1300 papers were sent out per issue by the circulation staff.
Realizing the importance of the ability to write
clearly and concisely, the staff compiled and printed
a TECH NEWS style sheet book. This book sets
forth the essential rules for publishing a college
newspaper. Its scope includes writing the news
story, its editing, headline, and finally its place on
the page.
Another accomplishment of the staff was the rebuilding and redecoration of the TECH NEWS
office. It has been brightly painted and has adequate facilities for the necessary newspaper work.
From the foregoing it can be seen that the newspaper staff is composed of a progressive group of
college men with a desire for constant improvement. Their past, present, and future accomplishments are to be applauded.

the help and cooperation of the staff the
publication of the annual was assured.
However, the L Book was beset w i t h financial problems from the outset.
T h e Senior Class undertook the task of
raising the necessary funds w i t h an advertising campaign. T h i s project proved a
success and showed the future seniors that
the L Book is a financial asset and not a

Reversed ties became the order of the day as Sophomore
President Tom Walker explained the rules and regulations
of "Frosh Hell Week."
The freshman entering college must realize
that there is more to his education than just
classes and homework.
There must be a
lighter side of his schooling that w i l l make
his collegiate career something to look back
upon w i t h fond memories. I t is w i t h this purpose i n m i n d that freshmen initiation, commonly referred to as " F r o s h H e l l Week", is
conducted.
D u r i n g this week the freshmen must wear
beanies and name cards. The name cards enable the upper-classmen to become acquainted
w i t h the new students; through this contact
the freshmen become familiar w i t h the various
clubs, organizations, and fraternities on campus.
I f this initiation to college life is taken i n
the right light, by the freshman and the up-
per-classman, i t can prove to be a valuable
instrument i n introducing the new student to
the social phase of college. I t is through this
training period of the freshman that i t can be
seen whether or not he can adjust his attitude
to comply w i t h the indignities inflicted upon
him. The men that can successfully do this
prove that they w i l l be able to take their place
in the activities of the school.
A n engineering degree alone w i l l not secure
a graduate a job i n industry. However, if w i t h
this degree he can offer a well-rounded education i n human nature he w i l l undoubtedly take
his place i n the engineering field. W i t h this
thought in m i n d freshmen initiation is carried
out to the advantage of both the freshmen and
the upper-classmen.

The Architectural Club of Lawrence Tech
is a student branch of the Detroit Chapter,
American Institute of Architects. The p u r pose of the organization is to stimulate and
further develop the best possible interest i n
architecture of each individual
member,
through active participation.
The Club, one of the largest student organizations on campus, has i n the past offered
many activities, open to everyone interested i n
architecture, including lectures and exhibitions. Other activities, open to members, i n clude attending m o n t h l y A . I . A . lectures and
meetings, sponsoring and supporting joint
meetings and discussions with student groups
of other colleges and universities, and taking
field trips to the Greater D e t r o i t area, Chicago
and surrounding territory, and other places of
architectural interest throughout the nation.
A n outstanding event of the Club year is
the annual banquet, at which a prominent
speaker is presented.
This meeting also
serves to acquaint students w i t h alumni.
The Architectural Club is always active in
Founder's Day, and is consistently a contender
for top honors.
" E E " CLUB
The Officers of the EE Club are:
Treasurer William Wilson, Vice
President John Kilbourne, President
Leonard Efros, Faculty Advisor E.
D. Hancock, and Night School President Richard Lytwyn (standing).
The Double E Club is one of the newest organizations on the campus, organized November 4, 1949 by the students i n the electrical
engineering curriculum. The organization
seeks to encourage and broaden the engineering experience of the student beyond that ordinarily encountered in the formal curricular
activities.
To accomplish its purposes, the club has
sponsored speakers, tours and opportunities to
construct various types of electrical apparatus.
T o aid in the construction of the electrical
apparatus, the club has acquired a large
amount of parts and equipment suitable for
the construction of electronic apparatus.
T h i s year, the club found it- necessary to
embark on a reorganization program, conducted by Messrs. W. H. Wilson, Leonard
Efros, Ed Sorenson, and H. J. Gohl. T o aid
those interested, a separate night school section was established, allowing the day and
night students to undertake the projects of
greatest interest to each group.
�The A . C. S. Officers are: Secretary Movses
Movsesian and President John Carney.
Although the Student Affiliates of the
American Chemical Society and Lawrence
Tech started the year rather slowly w i t h all
the members in N i g h t School for the first time,
the tempo increased as the year progressed and
as the members gained experience t h r o u g h
working i n industry during the day. A m o n g
the new topics discussed were the operations
of manufacturing amides by President John
Carney and the field of metallurgical testing
by Movses Movsesian, Secretary.
Besides the regular meeting of the Chemical
Engineering Students at Tech, the Chapter
also was host to the Detroit Student Section
on January 30, 1952. A t this meeting D r .
Teague of Chrysler Engineering, w i t h the aid
of slides, spoke on the use of modern instrumentation i n industry.
Stanley Kukawka, the Treasurer, was also
Chairman of the Detroit Student Section for
the 1951-52 year.
C E. S.
The Officers of the C. E. S. are: Secretary
Edwin Shymanski, President Melvin Weiss,
Vice President Richard Castle, and Treasurer Richard Krygiell.
Engineering students are becoming more
aware that the textbook and classroom are not
sufficient sources of knowledge i n themselves.
Outside curricula pertaining primarily to the
other numerous avenues of information are
supplementary sources of knowledge.
The
CES is dedicated to supply these sources of
knowledge to its members.
CES is one of the older curriculum-oriented
organizations at L I T . Members of the group
enjoy periodical experimental trips to various
plants, laboratories, and other places involved
in activities pertaining to the interests of the
organization. Of particular significance are
the trips to actual job sites, where the mem-
bers can study actual w o r k methods, and actual w o r k situations. I n addition to this,
numerous films are obtained to show to the
group, like the one secured from the Rail Steel
Bar Association demonstrating the uses of rail
steel.
T h r o u g h affiliation w i t h the CES, members
can derive the benefits of receiving professional
and technical literature, periodicals, and other
published data.
Faculty sponsor of CES is Professor William E. Menzel, w h o plays an important role i n
keeping both faculty and student bodies interested and enthusiastic members of the organization.
�S. A. E .
T h e men holding offices i n the
S. A . E. this year are: Secretary Darol Travis, Vice
Chairman Herbert Friesen,
Chairman Wesley, Publicity
Wallace Hansen, and Treasurer Robert Simburger.
The year 1938 saw the introduction of the
Society of A u t o m o t i v e Engineers to Lawrence
Tech. N i g h t school lays claim to the i n i t i a l
organizing of the society on campus.
However, little was done i n the way of student activities u n t i l after the war.
I n 1946 w i t h an unusually large day school
enrollment, Faculty Advisor Dr. Gail Brewington and the student chairman Albert Nash
displayed their leadership by enrolling a new
group of students to increase the membership
to more than 150. W i t h an organization of
this size, Lawrence Tech applied for a student
section charter w h i c h was granted A p r i l 11,
1947.
Al Nash supervised an efficient group of officers w h i c h provided the students w i t h lectures
given by interesting speakers and technical
movies. Tours through industrial plants and
research laboratories proved popular.
The
student section also had a great deal to do
w i t h organizing the first "Student-Senior Joint
Meeting".
The S. A . E. is not an organization interested solely i n the manufacture of automobiles.
A t one time, however, i t was dedicated to automotive production procedures but has now
spread to the aircraft and gasoline fields. Because the three go hand-in-hand, they combined and are under the same study program
in the society.
S. A. M.
The S. A . M . for the '52 school
year, is represented by the
following m e n : Treasurer
William Crawford, President Leon Miles, and Vice
President George Crittenden.
Today, students; tomorrow, leaders i n i n dustry. T h i s prospective outlook applies to all
Lawrence Tech students. The Society for the
Advancement
of
Management
constantly
strives t o w a r d the fulfillment of this goal.
T h e L I T student chapter of S. A . M . was
founded four years ago and since its inception
has helped spread the benefits of scientific
management.
T h i s year i n particular, students have been
attending meetings held by the Detroit Chapter of S. A . M . at the Rackham Memorial
B u i l d i n g . T h e topics under discussion included
union activities, labor relations, personnel
problems, and various phases of industrial engineering.
The S. A . M . chapter at Lawrence Tech is
another example of the broad background
available t h r o u g h " T h e o r y and Practice".

exhibits put up by the various fraternities.
��Athletics
As the years of college life march by, every
student identifies himself, directly or indirectly, w i t h various activities w i t h i n the
school. I n recent years, one of the prime
focal points for the attention of the student
and of the hundreds of colleges throughout
the country has been the athletic activity of
the "Blue Devils."
I n basketball, fencing, and other intercollegiate sports, these representatives of L I T
have chalked up impressive strings of victories, making the "Blue Devil" insignia
highly respected as one of the major basketball powers in the country.
D u r i n g the past year, under the guidance
of Athletic Director, Don Ridler, the "Blue
Devils" presented one of the most imposing
records i n their history. Twenty-three victories out of twenty-five games during the
regular season secured, for the fourth year
in a row, an invitation to participate i n one
of the major post-season, intercollegiate
tournaments in the nation. This year, after
winning their first two games in the N A I B
tournament, the "Blue Devils" were finally
defeated in the third round. But even in defeat, they achieved success. First, they
reached the semi-finals in a national intercollegiate tournament, and second, Blaine
Denning, a star of the team, was one of the
few collegiate players to receive recognition
and a contract from one of the finest professional teams i n the nation—the Harlem
Globetrotters.
However, the greatest success achieved by
these athletic representatives of L I T was in
demonstrating that athletics on our campus
is an embodiment of the clean, friendly spirit
of amateur competition.

STARTERS
�I n climaxing a brilliant collegiate career,
BLAINE DENNING has been stamped as
All-American by noted basketball coaches and
newscasters. D u r i n g the past season, the versatile Denning, scored 502 points for an average of 20.1 points per game.
The enthusiastic following of Denning has
grown steadily since his first year of college
basketball. H e was rated the greatest eager
to come f r o m M i c h i g a n h i g h school circles in
years and certainly added to his fame in college.
Concerning his star forward. Coach Ridler
has said, " H e is the greatest all-round basketball player I've ever coached and I rank h i m
as an A i l - A m e r i c a n . "

�FENCING
Because of the present w o r l d situation, i t
was doubtful that Lawrence Tech w o u l d have
a fencing team this year. However, t h r o u g h
the ^ble coaching of James Campoli and Louis
Klei the team was formed and intercollegiate
matches were scheduled.
T h i s year's opponents included Ohio State,
University of Illinois, Case Institute of Technology, and the University of Buffalo. The
swordsmen completed their season w i t h one
victory and four defeats.
The victory was
against Case Institute of Technology.
Four lettermen are being lost by graduation.
They include Co-Captains Dick Sharp and Ed

��Fraternities
By definition a fraternity is a "body of
men bounded together by common inter"Common Interest" being the general
well being of the college itself. The fraternities obtain this objective by instilling
and practicing the principles of brotherhood, comradeship and humility by providing group discussions and by educating the
men in the social graces.
Since 1932 when the first fraternity. P h i
Kappa Upsilon, was founded on the campus, fraternity life has been playing a very
important role in setting the standards that
are helping Lawrence Tech to progress.
A t present there are about 300 students
that are members of one of the five fraterni
ties, while the various alumni chapters have
a membership exceeding 2000 men.
��LAMBDA
IOTA
TAU
Dean Russell Lawrence, the founder of Lawrence Institute of Technology, was the guiding hand i n the institution of the Lambda
Iota Tau Honor Award. T h i s award was o r i g inated i n 1934, just t w o years after the school
was founded, and awards have been made annually w i t h the exception of the w a r year,
1945, when extra curricula activities were v i r tually non-existent on the campus.
A small and select group of students have
the privilege and distinction of being awarded
the Lambda Iota T a u key. These men have
not only led their class i n academic endeavor,
but have actively engaged i n extra-curricular
activities.
I t is not too unusual to find a student w h o
is outstanding scholastically, or to find one
who is a leader i n campus organizations.
However, the man w h o can successfully combine these t w o qualities should have recognition. T h i s is the purpose of the Lambda Iota

��KAPPA
SIGMA
KAPPA
The Michigan Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma
Kappa was organized at Lawrence Tech in
1948 with eighteen charter members. At the
present time, the chapter contains over 35 active members, 4 faculty members and 85
alumni.
During the past year, the Michigan Beta
chapter has been active in many social functions. The first function held during the past
year was the annual drawing for a television
set, a watch, and a cigarette lighter. This was
later supplemented by such events as the November hayride, the Christmas party, a New
Year's Eve affair, and a tobogganing party
which took place in January.
The most heart warming affair of the year
was the Annual Orphan's Christmas party,
given this past year for the children at the
Sarah Fisher Home for Children.
Another annual event, jointly sponsored by
the four Kappa Sigma Kappa chapters in the
Detroit area, was the Detroit KSK Sweetheart
Ball. The queen of the ball is selected by a
group of four impartial judges from the candidates entered by each chapter.
KSK activities also extend to sports. The
intramural basketball and Softball teams compete in all intramural tournaments.

The h i g h l i g h t of Rho Delta Phi's school
year was the fall pledge season. October 5
was the night the prospective pledges met the
members at an open-house mixer. The following week saw the season begin i n earnest, as
the new pledges began going through their
paces. I t is rumored that this group was i n
good voice as they serenaded the students of
L I T every noon w i t h the school song.
D u r i n g this pledge season, an active intramural cage team, composed of pledges and
members, was formed. The first game i n which
R D P competed was played as a preliminary
to a varsity game at the Coliseum.
The t h i r d degree informal initiation was
held the night of November 21. Court was
PHI
presided over by an alumnus, Richard Larkins.
Under the able prosecution of the attorney,
Bob Harrison, the pledges were made to answer for all felonies and misdemeanors recorded i n their red books. However, no casualties were reported.
Climaxing the fall season was a fine Presentation Dinner-Dance at the Whittier Hotel.
A f t e r dinner, ceremonies were conducted by
the toastmaster, Stan Kukawka, during w h i c h
officers were presented w i t h keys i n recognit i o n of their outstanding w o r k . Later i n the
evening, the dance was held i n honor of the
new members and their dates. D u r i n g this
dance the girls presented the new members
w i t h their fraternity pins.

UPSILON
Phi Kappa Upsilon was founded at LIT in
1932 for the purpose of "Aiding and bringing
the members more closely together; to help
each other and to open new channels for the
members to pass pleasantly their college days,
and to assist in developing a true fraternal
spirit among its members."
Numerous social events marked the 1951-2
school year. In addition to the bowling party,
the hay ride, the skating and tobogganing parties, and numerous stags, the annual PKU
Dinner-Dance at the Forest Lake Country
Club was a huge success.
PKU has also been very active in campus
oriented activities. Their spirit was clearly
evidenced in the blood bank drive and in their
contributions to the Founder's Day celebration.
The officers of Phi Kappa Upsilon are: Emile Mortier, Secretary; Sam
McCready, Master of Rituals; Gerald Deloy, Warden; Donald Lumley. President; Gerald Sobieraj, Chaplain; Cornell Lazar, Pledgemaster, and Terry N. Todd, Vice President.

UPSILON
Epsilon Chapter, of Alpha Gamma Upsilon,
has completed another full year of activities.
These activities included many parties, both
stag and mixed, hayrides, and bowling parties.
The h i g h l i g h t of this year's social calendar was
the annual national fraternity convention at
which Epsilon Chapter was the host. The
convention was a three day affair and was held
at the Detroit Hotel Tuller. The first day a
stag party was held where all the chapters of
the fraternity presented a quartet of fine
singers. O n the second day a b o w l i n g party
was arranged at which the bowling trophy
was awarded. I n the evening of the second
day the annual Alpha Gam B a l l was held w i t h
Dave Farley and his band providing the music.
I t was at the ball that the " F r a t e r n i t y Queen"
was crowned. The convention was brought to
a close w i t h a banquet at w h i c h many awards
of h i g h merit were presented to the Alpha
Gams.
Each pledge season was marked by the parties held for the members by the pledges, and
by the traditional A . G. U . "hazing day".
As customary, Epsilon Chapter observed
Omega Day i n February. Those attending
the church services later met for Sunday breakfast.
The Alpha Gams presented their annual
"most valuable player a w a r d " to Herman Pett
a most deserving honor paid to an outstanding
basketball star.
The A . G. U . officers are: L. Diedrich, Vice President; H. Lybeck, Corresponding Secretary; J. Smith, Recording Secretary; D. Stack, House Manager; R. Buckett, Treasurer; C. Lindberg, President, and P. Vigue,

�INSIDE OF KING'S COLLEGE CHAPEL, CAMBRIDGE
Tax not the royal Saint with vain expense.
With ill-matched aims the Architect who planned—
Albeit laboring for a scanty band
Of white robed Scholars only—this immense
And glorious Work of fine intelligence!
Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore
Of nicely-calculated less or more;
So deemed the man who fashioned for the sense
These lofty pillars, spread that branching roof
Self-poised, and scooped into ten thousand cells.
Where light and shade repose, where music dwells
Lingering—and wandering on as loth to die;
Like thoughts whose very sweetness yieldeth proof
That they were born for immortality.
—William Wordsworth
�DEDICATION
"In the limit, as X approaches zero" is an expression with which all of Professor
Nace's students are familiar. No session of first term calculus would be complete without it. At first this expression is bewildering, but by the time the term is over, and after
many repetitious and patient explanations, the student finally begins to understand the
basic theory of calculus.
It is such patient explanation that characterizes Professor Nace.
He instills in the student the importance of basic definitions and the building upon these definitions, to form the advanced theory and the practical application to other engineering subjects.
Upon his shoulders rests the responsibility of providing the engineering student with
his most important a n d useful tool—mathematics.
For, of what use be an engineer, who
is not versed in the field of mathematics?
Being both an instructor and a department head. Professor Nace has very little
spare time.
Even so, he gladly gives what spare time he has to help students with
their problems, both mathematical and personal.
Professor Nace also provides the
student with a n extra curricular activity in the form of the Math Club, of which he was
one of the co-organizers and is now the sponsor.
Even though he often takes home as much homework as his students. Professor Nace
still manages to be in attendance at most of the sport and social functions of the school.
He is never late with his homework, as are some of his students who often make the
excuse that they had attended the game the night before and didn't have time to do
their assignments.
students.
It is such things as these that have earned him the respect of his
That is why we, the graduating seniors, feel it a privilege to honor Professor
Henry W. Nace with the dedication of the 1954 L-Book.
��FULFILLMENT

the new campus. Dean Russell Ellsworth Lawrence could well be proud.
For now, w h a t
must have been one of the Dean's fondest dreams is becoming a reality.
Following a principle of stepping forward, bravely and proudly, the school has risen
from its humble beginning in the midst of the depression, in 1932, to one of the biggest
and best engineering colleges in the nation.
It is unfortunate that Dean Lawrence could not have lived to watch the growth of his
dream and see the final brave step in the building of this beautiful new campus.
He would be proud to know that his motto of "Theory and Practice" in engineering
education has stuck with the school and is in fact exemplified in the new campus since it
was designed by members of the school's own faculty and student groups.
As graduating seniors, each of us will go into his respective field and prove to our
employers and colleagues the worth of such a motto in education.
By doing this, and
by being morally, physically, and spiritually good citizens, we will be a credit to our
school, our country, and our God.

Dear Seniors:
l o u r s i s the twentieth graduating c l a s s since I came to
L I T back i n 1934 During those years so many strangers have
come to the College and so many f r i e n d s have graduated t h a t
I seem to have become a part of t h i s school, your Alma Mater,
The Class of 1954- i s not only s i g n i f i c a n t to me as my
twentieth, i t also represents the graduating c l a s s of the
great year of d e c i s i o n f o r L I T , T h i s i s the year we decided
to b u i l d and s t a r t e d construction of our new campus. T h i s
coveted goal could not have been reached without the moral
and p h y s i c a l support you and your f e l l o w students have provided.
I t i s my prayer that LIT means as much to you as i t does
to me. Our College cannot prosper or even survive i n the years
ahead without the great moral strength of your love and a l l e g i a n c e .
These two things w i l l b u i l d a f a r greater college than s t e e l and
masonry.
Sincerely,

from the electrical engineering class.
To Professor Foltz's left are: Norm Swanson,
Fred Kuehn, Tom Varga, Hank LaMotte and Sam Heal.
When Professor Foltz announced his intentions to retire,
the electrical engineering class immediately realized its
loss. Here was a man, well versed in the field of electrical
engineering, whose departure from Lawrence Tech would
be felt by students and administration alike.
To show their admiration and respect for their professor,
the electrical students took Professor Foltz. to a retirement
luncheon.
In his departing talk, Professor Foltz said, "I will always
remember this class and I am looking forward to being
with you boys next June at graduation. Thank you very
much and best of luck throughout the coming years."

Each year, one of the activities most anticipated by the
Seniors is the Senior Stag. This event might be likened to
an office Christmas party at which the executives, in this
case the instructors, let their hair down and get chummy
and clown around with the employees, in this, case the
students. As at the Christmas party, the students (employees) usually have some opinions to express about their
instructors (executives). Of course, the next day all the
opinions and clowning are forgotten and forgiven, or so
everyone hopes. However, the night itself will live on in
ihe minds of Seniors to promote many nostalgic memories
in years to come.

Don McKinley—Editor-in-Chief
The key clicked and the door creaked open. "Hi,
Don, how are you?" and the clatter of a typewriter
could be heard. The floor was literally covered with
sheets of paper. Old milk cartons, cofFee cups and
pop bottles were strewn over the desks. Cigarettes
were left burning in the already overfilled ashtrays.
All this confusion could be found in the Tech News
office on any Monday night before the 12 o'clock
deadline. This litter of paper was the original writings of copy which were edited, typed and re-edited,
and finally appeared in print in our bi-monthly Tech

"Who took the glue?" "Where did our blue marking pencil go?" "Hank, give Bill the grad copy for
proof-reading on Thursday, eh?" "Hey Rudy, you got
a minute? How do you want this page laid out?"
"Now Eric, I know you didn't get to bed until four last
night but I need those game pics by next Tuesday and
the grad pics for tomorrow." "No Murph, we need
more money than that." "Could you boys be quiet up
there, please?" "Come on, you guys, next Wednesday
is the deadline." All this noise and confusion could be
heard coming from the balcony of the library. As the
end of March approached, the disturbances became
louder and more regular and when the book was
finally put to bed, studying could once more be continued in the library.
It was through this noise and contusion, caused by
engineers turning to journalism, that the publication of
this annual was made possible. These same engineers,
the stafF of the 1954 "I" Book, wish to take this opportunity to thank all concerned for their cooperation and
patience.

Director for the school.
As such, he has the respon-

all the sports events of the school, such as the basketball games, the fencing meets, and tennis matches.
In addition, he is a sportscaster for radio station

As chairman of the building fund he must
make many time consuming interviev/s.
Even so in
his "spare time", he has managed to put on tv/o fine

made it 16 in a row and we trampled over Tri-State
by 89 to 54 stretching the record to 17 games without a loss. This tied the State Record.

beat Findlay easily by a score of 88 to 71 and with

It was back on the road for another week-end
and an exhibition game with Goodyear Tire and
Rubber at Akron, Ohio. Although this is not counted
against our record it was another defeat for us. This
time we got it in the neck by eleven points; the final
score being 49 to 60. This week-end had two defeats for us as did the last for the following night St.
Francis had "show-time" against us as they taught us
�the fundamentals of a tight press. But being good
sports, they let us down lightly with a 62 to 88 defeat, for they too had revenge for a previous setback.
Back from a miserable road trip our next game
was a mid-wek affair with Assumption College at

Assumption proved to be as rough as

After the last home game of the season with D.I.T.,
we rode the roils to the windy city of Chicago to

very worthy opponents leading us all the way. The

was 75 to 81 with us losing to one of the better
teams in the country.

The final mission of the '53-'54 our Blue Devil team
was directed .toward making a permanent mark on
the national basketball picture. The first efPort in
this direction resulted in a victory over Calvin College in Grand Rapids for the NAIA District No. 23
championship. The final score was L.l.T. 75, Calvin

One week later we were in Kansas City, Missouri
for the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath�letic Tournament where they played a competent Carroll College quintet to a very close victory. Carroll led the Blue Devils throughout the game until the
last few minutes when Killen went wild and scored
seven quick points, with the help of his teammates,
to put us out in front for a final score of 75 to 70.

nation. We were off to a good start and fighting

To the Blue Devils of this past season, the year

CAMPAIGN
This year, under the chairmanship of President Richard

of the parties was to acquaint the student body with forthcoming student activities such as the Senior Stag, the JProm and the student elections; but mainly it was to promote a campaign to raise funds to furnish the student

The class of '55 was the sponsor of the very elegant J-Prom for this year. It was
held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel. The music and entertainment, consisting of a stage show, was supplied by Ernie Rudy and his orchestra.
Everyone in attendance enjoyed the waltzes, tangos, rhumbas, fox-trots and even
the Bunny Hop. To all social minded students, Friday, May 7, was a must on their
social calendar and they turned out to enjoy themselves at the J-Prom which proved
to be one of the best social successes of the year.

Bashfully he put his arms around his dancing
partner. To the sweet strains of recorded music
he waltzed his partner around the dance floor
even though her feet did not leave the floor.
When the music stopped, he dropped her and
eagerly sought the company of another. This
time, with a smile on his face, he danced once more around
the floor.
He had been the unfortunate victim of time and circumstance. Failing to acquire a live dancing partner, he was
forced to "dance the broom" until he could conform to the
social laws of society. He soon mended his ways and obtained a female partner with whom he continued the evening's
entertainment.
This was but one of the many games that were
whole-heartedly enjoyed by the members dnd
guests of Kappa Phi Sigma fraternity.
All in attendance failed to recall a time or place
when they had enjoyed themselves more than at
the annual hard-times Hall-o-ween party at Kappa
Phi Sigma.
The feeling of, "Oh, to be young again" was exemplified to
its fullest and this event proved to be one of the outstanding
social events of the school year for members of the Kappa
Phi Sigma fraternity.

"Merry Christmas Santa Claus", sang the group of boys

wearing a white beard and a red suit. The outstretched
hands were immediately filled with gifts, each one labelled
with o girl or boy's name. Little Johnny and Mary may
now, in a small way, have a Christmas like
all the other Johnnys and Marys throughout

The Kappa Sigma Kappa orphan's party
has become on onnuol event ond on established act of the fraternity.
From funds
raised by the fraternity in their monetary
ventures, a port is set aside every year to
provide for an Orphan's Christmas Party.
The men who participate in this party are witnesses to the
saying, "It is better to give than to receive", and the joy
and warmth shown by the happy children is more than
enough compensation for the hard work which made the
party possible.
The sparkling eyes of the children, the
thankful faces of the orphanage stafF, and
the satisfied feelings of the members makes
Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity well aware
of the importance of such a party. It will
continue to be one of the outstanding events
on the Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity social
calendar.

�The Lawrence Tech Blood Bank became a reality because Administration, Faculty, and Students planned
and worked together. It could never have been born if
the need were not present and each individual had not
realized his and her responsibility. The success of the
Blood Bank will be a lasting monument to the sincerity
and earnestness of all personnel at Lewrence Tech.
For years emergencies of the type requiring blood donors have been our constant companions. Members of
the Student Council began work on the far reaching
project during the summer of 1957. Immediately after
the school year opened, a Board of Trustees was formed
which consisted of the following members: Gerry Peck,
Chairman; Nick DeMarco, Council President; James Hobson, Assistant to the President; Edward Jositas,
Faculty Representative; Reed Abt, Alumni Representative. Adding to this endeavor in the Council itself John Lidkea, Don Clinton, and Jim Arnold formed with Gerry Peck the Blood Bank Committee.
It was from this nucleus that our major project of the
year started. Enthusiasm was the keynote. The administration through Mr. Hobson, Dean Ryan, and Dr. Graeffe joined with the faculty and student leaders in
what soon became a truly joint venture. Jim Arnold as
Tech News Editor gave the type of help and cooperation we did not believe possible. In short, the students
and faculty members of Lawrence Tech became aware
very quickly of the existence of a Blood Bank and what
was expected of them.
On January 20th the first Bloodmobile set up shop in
the Student Lounge from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m. The drive
was a success with the unit handling the maximum
number of volunteers. On March 3rd, the second Bloodmobile arrived to work from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This
drive also was very successful. The day school men
presented over 200 signed pledges in their request to
the Council for this second drive.
We of the Student Council are proud of this organization and the work which made it possible. It has served
both Lawernce Tech and society in general. The honest
endeavor and joint enterprise which have personified
this activity from the beginning have welded all departments and groups into one common aim. The school
spirit, cooperation between administration and students, and sense of common belonging have never been
stronger. In the years to come, remember you were a
part of the beginning.

��FRATERNITIES.
Fraternity — what meaning does this word
impart to an individual not knowing about one. He
might look into Webster and find that Fraternity
means, "state of being brothers; a body of men
associated for common interests".
"Common interest," being the general well-being of the college itself. The fraternities obtain this
objective by instilling and practicing the principles
of brotherhood, comradeship, and humility by providing group discussions and by educating the men
in the social graces.
�I n t e r - F r a t e r n i t y Council
�The Inter-Fraternity Council (I.F.C.) is composed of one representative
from each fraternity on campus. Each year the chairmanship of the I.F.C.
is rotated and this year the position is held by Viron Lefty of Phi Kappa
Upsilon.
The I.F.C. was organized to investigate the scholastic position held
by each prospective pledge of the fraternities, to regulate the opening
dates of the rush seasons, to correlate fraternities social calendars, and
to coordinate inter-fraternity functions.
This year the I.F.C. inaugurated two new inter-fraternity functions—
the semi-annual Pledge Jug Hunt and the annual Prospective Pledge Mixer.
The Jug Hunt is an event in which the pledges of the various fraternities
try to locate a jug that has been hidden on campus. The fraternity whose
pledge finds the jug, keeps i t until the next Pledge Jug Hunt. The
Prospective Mixer provides an opportunity for the lower classmen to become acquainted with fraternities on campus. The fraternities have their
representatives at this event to answer questions and give information
about their I'espective fraternity.
Through the I.F.C. the common goal of the fraternities, "The betterment of the high ideals of Lawrence Tech" may be procured.

H u n t s , The V a l e n t i n e P a r t y , A p r i l Fool's Day Party,
and t w o D i n n e r Dances.
These a c t i v i t i e s have helped Kappa P h i Sigma men
balance t h e i r social l i f e and scholarship.
�The summer activities of Kappa Phi Sigma
continued with great enthusiasm as the
members enjoyed the ants of the Second
Annual Convention, the hectic competition
of the Inter-fraternity Baseball League, and
an extremely active week-end at Jose Lake.
�The M i c h i g a n Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma K a p p a F r a t e r n i t y was
founded a t Lawrence I n s t i t u t e of Technology i n 1948 by twelve men seeking
to develop a s p i r i t of brotherhood and to promote i n t e r e s t i n social and
scholastic a c t i v i t i e s .
Achievement of t h i s goal was obtained by s u n d r y social a c t i v i t i e s such
as the food concession a t t h e Michigan State Fair and t h e Annual Millionnaires' Party, which are t h e p r i m e f u n d - r a i s i n g a c t i v i t i e s . The
money earned f r o m these various events were p u t i n t o t h e K a p p a Sigma

Social events f o r t h e year included t h e annual Presentation Banquet
at Bill's N o r t h e r n , weiner roasts, picnics, stag parties, softball games,
bowling p a r t i c i p a t i o n and holiday p a r t i e s .
The s p i r i t of brotherhood and constructive t h i n k i n g is a valuable
integration of Kappa Sigma Kappa.

�ENGINEER YOUR FUTURE AT BENDIX
Your future success as an engineer
depends on a variety of circumstances,
some of which you may influence,
others which you cannot. Fortunately,
the odds are heavily in favor of those
who plan intelligently and well. That
is why we urge you to give your
future the same painstaking study and
thought you would accord any difficult engineering problem. We believe
you will make a wise decision if you
plan your engineering future with
Bendix. And here is why:
Bendix is one of the nation's largest
and most diversified engineeringresearch-manufacturing firms. The
creative a b i l i t y and a m b i t i o n of
Bendix engineers have contributed
importantly to this growth.
Then, too, Bendix is decentralized
—with twenty-four semi-autonomous
divisions located throughout the
country. Nine of these have been
created or acquired since 1950. They
offer a broad range of opportunities
for personal recognition and rapid
advancement i n a wide variety of
interesting technical fields.
Opportunities await the young engineer qualified in such diverse fields
as electronics, electromechanics, ultrasonics, systems, computers, automation and controls, radar, nucleonics,
combustion, air navigation, hydraulics, instrumentation, propulsion,
metallurgy, communications, carbu-
A thousand products
retion, solid state physics, aerophysics
and structures. Working with the
country's leading engineers, you will
have chances aplenty to develop your
talents to the limits of your capability.
Make i t a "must" to meet the
Bendix representatives when they visit
your campus, or write today for further information concerning Bendix'
progressive personnel policies, broad
educational assistance program, and
other personal benefits. See your

�FOREWORD
Upon graduation from high school, life, the enigma, lay
before us. To its solution were three aids—preparation, meditation, and dedication. The completion of your college career
has given you a carefully planned preparation.
None of us knows what the future holds, but in our meditation we shall always look upon the period of preparation with
fond memories of our alma mater. In those nostalgic reminiscences will be the old campus, the new campus, and our senior
year, the twenty-fifth in the school's history.
As we approach the period of dedication, the tenacity of
those men and women who through twenty-five years, made
our preparation a practical reality and their cumulative experiences which they endeavored to impart to us will help solve
the problem of making us well adjusted happy individuals and
contributing members of society.
. and with this in
�mind we dedicate our book to the following
George Lawrence, President
D u r i n g those first few years, the college w a s i n bad shape financially
w h i c h put a great deal of responsibility on m y shoulders. A period of
about three years passed before the teachers could be p a i d their full
salaries.
I n 1937, I originated the building fund, the objective of w h i c h w a s to
b u i l d our o w n building sometime i n the imforeseen future. I n 1941,
d u r i n g W o r l d W a r I I , the building fund w a s used for other expenditures
w h i c h arose at that time. I t became necessary to adopt a w a r training
program i n order to retain the iristructors and l i t e r a l l y keep the college
together.
After the w a r a majority of the original students r e t u r n e d to L . I . T . T h e
enrollment increased to about 2500 w h i c h w a s the record u n t i l 1956.
T h e college began to prosper again a n d the building f i m d w a s r e organized.
L . I . T . purchased two tracts of land over the y e a r s . One w a s the old
Packard Rolls Royce plant w h i c h w a s used as the T e c h n n i c a l Institute,
and the other w a s the n i n e t y - f o u r acres on w h i c h Northland Shopping
C e n t e r now stands. T h r e e old maids owned the Northland property.
T h e y refused to sell to m a n y r e a l estate firms, but agreed to sell to the
college. W e originally planned to b u i l d a shopping center on the property
w i t h a four-story college building next to it. T h e students w e r e to use
the shopping center p a r k i n g facilities w h i c h w o u l d have been more
than adequate.
A large f i r m from the E a s t h e a r d of the proposed shopping center and
put i n a b i d for the land. W h e n Hudson's h e a r d of this, they began
their counter bidding to prevent a n y further competition i n this area.
T h e bidding went so h i g h that w e w e r e forced to sell.
B e c a u s e the developing e x p r e s s w a y s i n Detroit w e r e to be routed
through the old P a c k a r d plant, the city foimd it necessary to b u y the
Technical Institute property.
O u r next move w a s to b u y the Larro Experimental Farms w h i c h c o n sisted of more t h a n t w o - h u n d r e d acres. T h e part of the farm w h i c h w a s
situated east of Northwestern Highway w a s sold to the Bendix Aviation
Company. T h e combined profits of these transactions w a s adequate to
begin construction of the n e w building.
Now that w e h a v e our n e w building, w e a r e looking f o r w a r d to a
bright future for L . I . T . , for there i s m u c h room a n d need for expansion.
�Genevieve G. Dooley, Registrar
Twenty-five years! To say i t seems l i k e only yesterday when
the doors opened to our first class at 15100 Woodward w o u l d
be a cliche. A n d yet v / o r k i n g daily ever since to establish our
present college has not allowed much time for counting years
and reminiscing.
F r o m the days of three h u n d r e d students to the present enrollment of nearly three thousand opportunities for serving,
befriending and guiding—even congratulating—have come
countless times. C o n t r i b u t i n g i n some w a y i n each instance
has been m y privilege and purpose. As I look out over our
modern campus, I cannot help b u t t h i n k that there have been
greater accomplishments than those w h i c h only meet the eye.
W i t h the aid of our present staff and our expanded facilities,
Lawrence Tech should be able to accomplish its goals more
f u l l y now than ever before. B u t to t r u l y accomplish them,
we must preserve the challenging spirit of the first years;
those times must continue to seem l i k e only yesterday.
��Edwin O. Graeffe, Dean of the Faculty
Before Lawrence Tech obtained its charter in 1932, the old
Ford Trade School was used only for recreational purposes.
The Golden Glove tournament was held there that year. One
of the greatest fighters in the world, Joe Louis, got his start
there.
The upper floors had been closed for four years and were in
very bad condition. Many of the original students earned their
first year's tuition by repairing these floors.
Although it was against regulations, many out of town students slept on the fourth floor.
After the banks closed in February 1933, the faculty used to
meet in Miss Dooley's office hoping that a student would pay a
portion of his tuition to enable them to divide it for their
lunches.
A n orchestra was started in 1933, in which Dr. Graeffe played
the piano and directed.
On Saturday afternoon our fencing team, of which Dr. Graeffe was the coach, would practice on the third floor. Bill
Osis, one of our early students, made the Olympic Fencing
Team in 1940. Unfortunately the Olympic games did not take
place that year.
Besides teaching, instructing fencing, and directing music,
Dr. Graeffe also operated the book store for the first two
years. Mrs. Graeffe operated the office for the evening school.
During the year 1937-38, Dr. Graeffe made a trip around the
world and gathered many valuable experiences and information for future instruction.
World War I I caused a big setback for the school in that a
majority of our students went to war. A t this time Dr. Graeffe
worked at Fisher Body and taught in night school. It was very
gratifying to see that many of you: original students returned
to L . I . T . after the war and continued their education under
the G.I. bill.
The Business Administration curriculum began in 1939 and
was interrupted during the war. After its reorganization, it
grew to what is now the Industrial Management Curriculum.
��Edmund J. Dombrowski, Professor, Chemistry
A graduate of the University of Detroit i n 1932, I began
teaching at L. I. T. i m m e d i a t e l y after graduation w h i l e c o n t i n u i n g studies i n this institution for m y M a s t e r s D e g r e e .
A t that time, as Professor of C h e m i c a l E n g i n e e r i n g , I taught
C h e m i c a l E n g i n e e r i n g both i n d a y a n d night school plus some
M a t h a n d CoUege C h e m i s t r y .
I n 1940,

T h e C h e m i c a l E n g i n e e r i n g D e p a r t m e n t w a s discontinued
about three y e a r s ago because there w e r e not enough students
r e q u e s t i n g this c u r r i c u l u m to w a r r a n t its continuation.
I n m y estimation, C h e m i c a l E n g i n e e r i n g i s the most important
of a l l b r a n c h e s of engineering, especially i n this area. I t is m y
sincere belief that this c u r r i c u l u m should be reinstated to f u l l
standing again at L a w r e n c e T e c h i n the n e a r future. M y e x p e r i e n c e i n the i n d u s t r i a l field since 1940 is a substantial i n d i cation that there is a great n e e d n o w a l w a y s for c o n s c i entious C h e m i c a l E n g i n e e r s .

It was a golden a u t u m n d u r i n g our v e r y first semester. Total
enrollment i n our department had closed at five, a l l were good
workers. Of that five, Victor Basso was a prolific w o r k e r ,
organizer, and Student Council President. Ernest Brown,
George Wright, Joseph Dworski, and Stan April were others
i n that m e r r y group. A l l have been successful and many times
outstanding i n their field.
Time passed s w i f t l y w i t h many student accomplishments and
stimulating activities i n the A. I. A. student chapter. A m o n g
the faculty who stayed to provide a long and dedicated performance were George Bery, James Hughes, Maxwell Wright, Doris Smith, and Fritz Kramrisch. T h r o u g h the years a host
of distinguished professionals lectured and participated i n
seminars for the department.
Our shining hour occured on one May evening i n 1951 when,
as our guest speaker, the b r i l l i a n t Master Architect Frank
Lloyd Wright lectured to a colorful audience of more than
1800 people. John Amarantides, one of our outstanding students, received a scholarship f r o m Frank Lloyd Wright that f a l l and is now i n his f i f t h year of w o r k and study at Taliesin.
A f t e r a siege of day and night w o r k i n February 1953, our
students and faculty presented our college w i t h a handsome,
exciting model of our new b u i l d i n g at the State Fair Colloseum " K i c k Off."
I n 1954, Edward Kovack w o n first prize i n the state-wide
Builders Association home competition. Over a four year
period, sixteen prizes and honorable mentions were w o n
by our students.
I n 1955, Joseph Dworski won an A. I. A. honor award for his
w o r k on the Benson Ford residence. For his courthouse design
for Condon, Oregon, Murdo Morrison w o n a national award
i n 1956.
As our Commencement Speaker for 1956, we were honored
to have Mr. Clair Ditchy, the immediate past president of the
American Institute of Architects. We were also honored this
year to have three of the four officers elected by the D e t r o i t
chapter A. I. A. , f r o m our former students, among them Gerald
Diehl the President.
So these days as we enjoy our beautiful campus; we reflect
and deeply appreciate the vision and encouragement of the
administration and of a l l the wonderful people w i t h w h o m
we have been privileged to w o r k and the guidance and
strength endowed to this college, far beyond the realm of
man's o w n potential on this good earth.

L. I. T. Purchases 200 Acres
To Build New Campus
Lawrence Institute of Technology, one of Michigan's
largest engineering schools, has purchased a new
campus.
The site is a 200-acre f a r m at James Couzens and Ten
Mile, w h i c h the college is b u y i n g f r o m General Mills,
Inc.
Dr. E. George Lawrence, president of the 1500 student college, said arrangements for the purchase were being completed Saturday and that
w i t h i n a year ground w i l l be broken for a new
$1,000,000 engineering building.
Originally land was purchased on 8-Mile Road
and Northwestern Highway. This property,
however, was sold to the J. L. Hudson Company to enable Northland Center to be erected
at this location.

As exemplified by the photographs i n the following pages not
only has the school grown i n size but also i n number. Upon looki n g over some of the older yearbooks and comparing them w i t h
this year's L-Book, the vast expansion of the Lawrence Institute
of Technology staff can plainly be seen.
This great enlargement of staff members took place very slowly
over the first years of Lawrence Tech.'s existence. Then, when we
finally obtained our new building, i t seemed as though all departments grew w i t h leaps and bounds. Especially of great need were
those required to successfully carry on the school's business w i t h
the ever increasing enrollment.
We, the graduating seniors, w o u l d l i k e to congratulate all of these
fine people for their good w o r k and thank them for the help and
assistance they have extended to us d u r i n g our attendance here.

�INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
To increase production and decrease the cost
of the product w i t h o u t lowering its quality
is the ambition of the Industrial Engineer.
Time study, q u a l i t y control, and a w o r k i n g
knowledge of mechanics are essential to the
Industrial Engineer. H e must also be capable
of personnel management because industrial
engineering is often a stepping stone to management.

D u r i n g the past year, the Student Council has been headed b y President
James Parker. The w o r k of the Student Council can be plainly seen through
the student government at Lawrence Tech. N o t only do the b i m o n t h l y
meetings serve as a sounding board for the student b u t also for organizational
problems.
I n a true democratic spirit, heated discussions are the rule, rather than the
exception at these meetings, and the w o r k is carried on i n harmony each
one w o r k i n g to make up the team.
The 1956-57 Council has chosen Professor Elwyn D. Hancock, of the Electrical Engineering Department as the Faculty Advisor. Professor Hancock's
comments and suggestions have proved to be of great assistance when i m portant issues had to be r u l e d upon.

The Ski Club was founded in December, 1956. F r o m the beginning the
response of the student body to this organization has been excellent.
There have been ski trips during the early months of 1957 which, while
not having the entire club present, have proved very satisfactory and promise great things for the coming season.
It is hoped that a racing team can be organized to compete in ski meets in
the midwest in the near future.

of the American Institute of Architecture, a n d a l l members are entitled to its benefits.
Many lectures, b y w o r l d renown architects, are sponsored each year b y the A . I . A . , as w e l l
as banquets and business meetings promoting the advancement of the profession.
D u r i n g the w i n t e r months several very successful day-night meetings were held. H i g h lighting these meetings were lectures and slides on recent developments of historical and
contemporary architecture both i n the U n i t e d States and i n Europe.
The annual banquet, one of the most outstanding events of the Club, at w h i c h an outstanding speaker is present, serves to renew old friendships and to better acquaint student
members w i t h the A l u m n i .
Broaden his outlook, test the reliability of his judgement, quicken his personal accomplishment, enrich himself through new friendships, prestige, and opportunity, are all brought
about through these varied activities.

Since its formation on November 4, 1955, the M . E. C l u b has been an outstanding example of club activity at Lawrence Tech. This club was founded
w i t h the express hope and belief that something constructive could be accomplished by the seniors of Lawrence Tech. i n their spare time. The purpose
of this organization is not only to afford social activity for the student but
also to translate engineering principles and theory into practical applications.

�SECTION
As the years of college life march by, every student identifies
himself, directly or indirectly, w i t h various activities w i t h i n the
school. I n recent years, one of the prime focal points for the
attention of the student and of the hundreds of colleges throughout the country has been the athletic activity of the " B l u e
Devils."
I n basketball, fencing, and other intercollegiate sports, these
representatives of L I T have made the "Blue Devil" insignia
highly respected.
D u r i n g the past year, due to the moving of the campus to its
new location and the h i r i n g of a new basketball coach, the
"Blue Devils" had a rather poor season. Since most of the
players w i l l r e t u r n for the next season, i t appears that once
again L I T w i l l be a tough team to meet.
However, the one great success achieved by these athletic
representatives of L I T was i n demonstrating that athletics on
our campus is an embodiment of the clean, friendly spirit of
amateur competition.

The sport of bowling is one of the fastest growing i n the D e t r o i t
area and the team fielded by Tech. this year shows that the
student body is taking a greater interest i n the sport. This year
over one hundred and fifty students tried out for the team. Of
this number only twelve were chosen to represent Lawrence
Tech. i n the season. The first team is shown above and the
second team is on the next page. So close were the tryouts this
year that only ten pins separated the highest and lowest average bowlers on the team.
This season saw the Tech. kegglers play match games w i t h
Assumption, and D.I.T., w h i l e they also represented Tech. at
the U . of D. and Toledo tournaments.

of each fraternity on campus. Each year the office of chairman is rotated
and is held this year b y William Rankin of A l p h a Gamma Upsilon.
The I.F.C. was organized to investigate the scholastic requirements of
each prospective member of the various fraternities, regulate the opening
dates of the rush seasons, correlate the social calendars of the fraternities to
avoid conflicts, and coordinate i n t e r - f r a t e r n i t y functions.
Through the I.F.C. the common goal of the fraternities, "The betterment
of the high ideals of Lawrence Tech.," may be reached.

Since its formation i n 1933 as the fifth chapter of A l p h a Gamma Upsilon,
the Epsilon chapter has been a d r i v i n g force i n the g r o w t h of Lawrence
Tech. I n 1937, the chapter became the first fraternity on campus to have its
own house, w h i c h i t retained u n t i l W o r l d War I I . I t became a regular supplier of Student Council officers and representatives i n the various organizations at L . I . T . Epsilon was instrumental i n the formation of the I n t e r F r a t e r n i t y Council and has always had its members on Tech.'s athletic teams.
Nationally, A l p h a Gamma Upsilon is one of the fastest growing fraternities
i n the country. I t achieved national status i n 1949 and has since expanded
f r o m the Midwest into the East w i t h more expansion imminent.
This year saw the second annual " W i n t e r Waltz," a very successful dance,
w h i c h was held i n January. The success of this event has established i t as
one of the highlights of Tech.'s social season.

W i t h an ever-increasing membership and the formation of an alumni
chapter, as w e l l as the backing of such projects as the " W i n t e r Waltz,"
Epsilon can look f o r w a r d to an age of progress and prosperity.

The year has seen the youngest F r a t e r n i t y on Campus take studies, sometimes seemingly over their heads, b u t always t o w a r d a goal.
I t was a year that saw the first annual convention become a sterling success; a growing membership; a 200 club f u n d drive; b r o k e n New Years
resolutions; treasure hunts, where the participants got lost and the h u n t was
for them; charges into the northern "Boondocks" b y a stalwart crew of
individuals.
I t was a year of seriousness, w i t h its share of levity, heartaches and happiness.

The Michigan Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Kappa F r a t e r n i t y was founded
at Lawrence Institute of Technology i n 1948 by twelve men seeking to
develop a spirit of brotherhood and to promote interest i n social and scholastic activities.
Achievement of the goal was obtained by sundry social activities such as
the food concession at the Michigan State Fair and the annual Millionaires'
Party, w h i c h are the p r i m e fund-raising activities. The money earned f r o m
these various events were p u t into the Kappa Sigma Kappa B u i l d i n g F u n d
which, some day, w i l l be used to b u i l d a fraternity house on the proposed
" F r a t e r n i t y Row."
Social events for the year included the Presentation Banquet held at Tassie's
T a v e r n , w i e n e r roasts, Softball games, b o w l i n g team, and H a l l o w e e n parties.
The spirit of brotherhood and constructive t h i n k i n g is a valuable integration
of Kappa Sigma Kappa and its actions are a function of our fraternity.

When our late brother Russel E. Lawrence brought with him from
U. of D. the dream of Lawrence Tech., he also brought many men of excellent foresight who wanted something extra from education. Among those
men, several found that they had many things i n common, including great
friendship and trust in one another. Unlike many others who went their
ways, these men, with the help of brother Lawrence, decided to encourage
and promote this mutual trust and friendship. A t that time, in the summer
of 1932, the fraternity was concieved. Now, on the 25th anniversary of Phi
Kappa Upsilon, as we look back on the hard work and organization of these
first few men and others who followed, our fraternity appears before us like
the stately oak tree whose limbs provide us with faith, honesty, and love of
our fellow man.
Through these past 25 years we have done many things to nourish the
great oak tree. Trips through industrial plants i n our great city, contributions to the blood drives, outstanding sales during the school building fund
drive, hard work to represent our school and our fraternity at the Michigan
State Fair with our food concession, and representation on the Student
Council as well as practically every club on the campus, have done much
to turn heads i n our direction.
�ALPHA CHAPTER OFFICERS
Left to Right: E. Crume, President; J. Petrunak, Corresponding Secretary; Doctor Graeffe,

The P h i Kappa Upsilon fraternity is represented i n day school b y the
Delta chapter and i n night school by the A l p h a chapter. The total active
membership including our alunmi chapter numbers nearly 200 men. E d u cators who represent the "line of t h o u g h t " of our fraternity are Dr. G. P. Brewington, Dr. E. Graeffe, and Mr. Schenkel. These men have been m e m bers for quite some time and we are p r o u d of their accomplishments and
methods used i n the classroom to provide a better education for those attending Lawrence Tech.
A l t h o u g h we are an Engineering fraternity, whose ideals are to promote
higher learning, we still find time for social functions. Dances, Parties,
Weiner roasts, and "good old b u l l sessions", attract the more active members,
for they k n o w that, "aU w o r k and no play makes Jack a d u l l boy".

"To develop a high standard of morals and character, encourage scholarship, and develop honor and loyalty among the students of the A l m a M a t e r "
is the purpose of Rho Delta P h i F r a t e r n i t y .
I n early 1938, sixteen men realized the need for a new social fraternity.
W i t h the help of Dean Hendrrichson they banded together to f o r m the A l p h a
Chapter of Rho Delta P h i F r a t e r n i t y i n November, 1938. M a n y hours into
weeks were spent planning and organizing the constitution, the pledge manual, and the pledge season. March 5, 1939, marked the official inception of
Rho Delta P h i as fourteen charter members received their pins and certificates.
Throughout the year there have been many successful social functions,
both stag and drag.

Sigma Kappa Psi was founded i n November of 1951 by a group of students
interested i n establishing a f r a t e r n i t y for the Technical Institute.
Since then this f a r t e m i t y has strived to develop a spirit of botherhood, to
create loyalty among membership, to establish l o y a l t y to the Institute i n
w h i c h this f r a t e r n i t y is located, and, to encourage social forensic, athletic and
especially scholastic activities.
The f r a t e r n i t y has several social functions every year. Particularly enjoyable are the pledge mixers held each t e r m . A t the m i x e r that was held i n
December at the Danish American Sportsman Club, Mr. Arnold Blythe, our
faculty advisor, received an honorary membership i n the fraternity. This
event was witnessed b y two other faculty members, Mr. R. Dulaney and Mr. G. Graves.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Preparing this, the 25th anniversary edition of the " L - B o o k " ,
wasn't all fun. The members of the staff being engineering
students hadn't had any idea what they were letting themselves
in for. Due to the teamwork of the staff, the fine cooperation
of those listed above, and especially the help of Professor H. G. Williams,
Faculty advisor, and Mr. Al Weatherly, Printer, this
book is coming to you on schedule. There were others who also
helped in minor ways, offering encouragement and suggestions.
To each and everyone who assisted i n the smallest way may I
express my sincere thanks.

�For engineers w o r t h their salt, challenge is stimulating. W e live i n such
an atmosphere at D e t r o i t Edison, a company i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y k n o w n
for its bold, imaginative engineering. But let's be specific.
Soon it's going to be sound economics for us to t r a n s m i t energy at
345 k v . There's not m u c h precedent to draw o n ; m u c h remains to be
clarified about system design, operation, radio interference, line losses,
relays, system integration, l i g h t n i n g performance. W h e r e does the
challenge stop?
Or take the problem of heat exchange. W e ' r e deep i n atomic power
plant design, where sodium is the p r i m a r y coolant. Efficient heat
exchange is essential! There's the same problem w i t h respect to gas
turbines and critical-pressure boilers, too.
W e also plan to use our digital computers, and like equipment, i n new,
u n t r i e d ways. A p p l y i n g them to engineering and management problems,
for example. B u t i t w i l l take time A N D talent to do some creative
engineering first.
If these challenges—a few at random—suggest a career that appeals to
you . . . well, you appeal to us. Stop at your Placement Office and arrange
an early interview.

�Free Enterprise Success in Technica Education
There's an agreeable and refreshing sound to the announcement by the
Lawrence Institute of Technology that it is preparing to expand its plant
and facilities at a cost of $1,250,000.
It was only a relatively short while ago that L I T moved to its new campus
at Northwestern and Ten Mile. That was expansion, too, and the new program will enable enrollment to be increased from 2,800 students to 5,000.
As a technical school, L I T is serving an extremely useful and necessary
purpose in this highly industrialized area. A n d the impressive thing is that,
as a private school, it has been able to keep pace with modem demands
without recourse to the taxpayer's pocketbook.
We don't know exactly what magic formula the L I T administration employs. B u t we are impressed by the apparent fact that free enterprise can
be as successfully applied in the field of technical education as in business
and industry.

�After leaving the bewildering sequences of college behind, there remains a melancholy feeling.
"What does the future hold in store?" As is soon
realized, ours is the future, and the future is bright.
Being the first graduating class of the new campus
has a greater meaning than could at first be comprehended. It is soon realized that this edifice is one
of the many symbols of man's struggle to improve
himself, both intellectually and scientifically. This
can only be accomplished by continually forging
ahead.
Progress is our future theme. Individually or as a
collective group we will strive to better ourselves,
our community and our position in life and in this
way be a credit to our nation and our alma mater.
Only in this way can we help to benefit the world.
Let us go aheadi
Our Alma Mater at night.

�From Dreams .
�"Lawrence Institute of Technology: Founded 1932" — these words
have been repeated many times, yet they tell only part of the story. They
tell nothing of the educator who, with firmness of purpose, founded
Lawrence Institute of Technology.
Dean Russell Ellsworth Lawrence saw in his imagination the creation
and future development of a college of engineering, dedicated to the
education of engineers as leaders in a dynamic society. The dream was
rich and fertile, as was the mind of the dreamer.
The depression was full upon the nation, magnifying the difficulties of
birth a hundredfold. Dean Russell Ellsworth Lawrence accepted the challenge with characteristic enthusiasm, fortitude, and dedication. Thus the
dream began to take form.
Due to his untimely death two years latei*. Dean Lawrence did not see
the full realization of his dream. Although his part of making the dream
comelrue was short-lived, it is difficult to believe that, without his convictions and inspiration, Lawrence institute of Technology could have
attained Its present status as a leading college of engineering.
�To Realization . . .
�In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds George E. Lawrence
grasped t h e dream t h a t had been his brother's and d e v o t e d his life t o
fulfill i t . Thus he became one of the country's youngest college presidents.
George Lawrence breathed hope and v i t a l i t y into the
young
college and it grew and matured into the fine institution i t is t o d a y .
The transition f r o m Lawrence Tech's first conception t o our present
d a y o f prosperity was the d i r e c t result of the wise planning and foresight
o f President Lawrence.
Years of planning, hoping, and hard work culminated in Lawrence Tech finding a new home of her own in 1955.
This beautiful edifice shall stand as a lasting monument t o a man who,
with f a i t h and d e t e r m i n a t i o n , brought one man's dream t o vivid reality.
O u r beloved President, George E. Lawrence.
�Visitors and students, u p o n e n t e r i n g t h e m a i n e n t r a n c e , are g r e e t e d by this p i c t u r e s q u e v i e w o f t h e
lobby.

�For inspiration the students in the architectural drawing room need only turn to the windows and gaie
upon the beauty of the ravine below . . .
�JOHN S. RACK WAY
1887-1955
�N o t o n l y the L-Book staff, b u t e v e r y m e m b e r of the student b o d y of Lawrence
Institute of Technology, u n a n i m o u s l y chose as their dedicatee the recent, w e l l
loved Professor John S. Rackway.
The many w a y s in w h i c h he assisted us to greater heights . . . the f r i e n d l y w a y
he greeted us in classes . . . the w a y he r e s p o n d e d to each of our particular needs
in his f i e l d . . . all of these are but a part of our k n o w i n g this f i n e educator, this
f r i e n d of students and m e n . The more one called u p o n h i m f o r advice, the more
one f e l t that he was great in all f i e l d s of e n g i n e e r i n g , and that his advice was
s o u n d , basic and e f f e c t i v e in a d v a n c i n g students in their e n g i n e e r i n g endeavors.
M e n of this stature d o not pass our w a y o f t e n in life . . . he is not o n l y missed
by the student b o d y , but b y the w h o l e f a c u l t y and a d m i n i s t r a t i v e b o d y of our
institution.
A man of m a n y accomplishments, he was a State Examined (Dip. Eng.) Diploma
Engineer. Technical University o f Berlin, 1 9 1 2 ; Instructor, 1920-23 and Professor,
1923-35 at School o f E n g i n e e r i n g , Berlin; Assistant Professor of Higher School of
Engineering, Berlin, 1924-26. Technical University o f Berlin, 1925-33; Instructor
of Mathematics, Shanghai, China 1939-40. Shortly thereafter, and until his demise,
he was associated w i t h us as Department Head of Engineering D r a w i n g .
As an Artist, Educator, Humorist, Eloquent Speaker, and an active m e m b e r of
Phi Kappa Upsilon Fraternity he participated
in all school f u n c t i o n s , activities,
dances, and parties.
To all of us w h o k n e w h i m , w e still feel his presence a m o n g us . . . his g u i d i n g
hand e n c o u r a g i n g us on and on . . . his f r i e n d l y w a r m t h still shining . . . and w e
w i l l ever k n o w the advantages of his technical k n o w - h o w that he
generously
showered upon us.
Each of us feels that he, w h o has g i v e n so much to each of our lives, must surely
be in for a r e w a r d and each of us k n o w s that he must be at peace w i t h His M a k e r
. . . just as he was a m o n g us . . .

Doctor Graeffe was one of a small group of

�When the successive events of college life draw to an end at graduation, the students
remember with pride the faculty of the Lawrence Institute of Technology. The faculty
consists of ful'-time and part-time instructors.
Many of the part-time instructors are
men who hold key positions in industry. In this manner the school is in direct contact
with the everchanging problems of industry and the students are exposed t o the basic
problems of the modern day. Therefore the student, the school, industry, and the community prosper.

�The Technical Institute
In the past decade industry has rapidly increased in mechanization and in its requirements for skilled engineering technicians, and in turn decreased its requirements for
physical labor. These technicians require a working knowledge of physics, chemistry,
mathematics, electricity, technical drawing and English, as well as a general knowledge
of the problems confronting industry today. They must through actual experience have
developed initiative, reasoning ability, discrimination, judgment and self-confidence
so that they can apply the knowledge they have acquired to practical technical problems and produce satisfactory results in a minimum of time.
The Technical Institute offers specialized programs of study designed to meet the
demand for engineering technicians. These programs closely parallel engineering
college curriculums.
The Engineers' Council for Professional Development is one nationally recognized
agency which accredits technical institute curricula. This body has defined programs
of study which are of the technical institute type by stating the purpose is to prepare
individuals for various technical positions or lines of activity encompassed within the
field of engineering.
The Technical Institute has used this definition as a guide in the organization, development and operation of its programs of study. Upon completion of the required subjects the following men will be eligible for an Associate in Engineering degree in
Building Construction, Electrical and Electronic, Industrial Supervision, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning, or Mechanical Technology.

Each fall the Freshman Class of Lawrence Tech is subjected to the rigors of "Hell Week", which is rewarded by the Frosh Fling. It is the responsibility of the Sophomore
Class to put the freshmen through these rigors and sponsor the Frosh Fling.
This year the Frosh Fling was held on O c t o b e r 8, 1955, at 9 p.m. to the excellent music
of Don Pablo in the Colonade Room at the Masonic Temple.
This, the first social event of the year, proved to be a huge success financially as well
as socially. This can be attributed to generous support of the student body and the
outstanding work of this year's Frosh Fling C o m m i t t e e . The committee has the responsibility of selecting a suitable site for the dance, obtaining and selling tickets, and hiring
an orchestra that offers fine music.
For such an enjoyable evening, congratulations are extended to the Sophomore Class,

Student government at Lawrence Tech is evidenced by the working of the Student
Council. The bimonthly meetings serve as a sounding board for the student and organizational problems. During the past school yei^r, the Council has been headed by President Jerry Kourtjian.
Heated discussions are the rule, rather than the exception at these meetings. However, in a true democratic spirit, minority yields to majority and in harmony the work
is carried on.
Any student organization must have a close liason with the Administration to be
successful. The 1955-56 Council has chosen Mr. I. Levinson, of the Mechanical Engineering Department as the Faculty Advisor. Mr. Levinson's comments and suggestions have
proven invaluable when important issues had to be ruled upon.

The Architectural Club was founded for the purpose
of increasing student interest in architecture by providing
extra-curricular activities for them. The club is a junior
chapter of the American Institute of Architecture, and all
members are entitled to its benefits. Many lectures, by
world renown architects, are sponsored each year by the
A.I.A., as well as banquets and business meetings promoting the advancement of the profession.
held. Highlighting these meetings were movies and slides
of historical and contemporary architecture both in the
United States, and in Europe.
An outstanding event of the Club year is the annual
banquet, at which an outstanding speaker is present. This
banquet also serves to renew old friendships and to acquaint student members with the Alumni.
Early in the school year the club sponsored field trips t o :
Midland, Michigan, the work site of Alden Dow; and to
Chicago, Illinois, to see some of the works of Mies Van
De Rohe, and of Frank Lloyd Wright. During the winter
months several very successful day-night meetings were
Through these varied activities, the club enables the
student member to broaden his outlook, the reliability of
his judgment, and the quickening of his personal accomplishment, as well as enables him to enrich himself through
new friendships, prestige, and opportunity.
�A.SXE
On Novennber 22, 1955, the students of Lawrence Institute of Technology were honored in receiving a charter
for the eleventh student chapter of the American Society
of Tool Engineers. The charter was presented to the students at a dinner at the Rackham Memorial Building. This
chapter is the newest and largest A.S.T.E. Student C h a p ter in the area.
The primary purpose of this organization is to advance
the scientific knowledge in the field of Tool Engineering,
which encompasses all phases of engineering related to
manufacturing, and the means and methods of applying
this knowledge in practice and education.
As a member of the Student Chapter, the student attends the meetings and functions of the Detroit and the
National Section of the A.S.T.E., at which time he becomes
familiar with the recent advances and developments of
the tool engineering industry. These reports are presented
to the student by many of the nations top engineers. Also
included in the meetings are documentary films that relate
to the profession.
The American Society of Tool Engineers is composed
of men interested in furthering the development, interest,
and education of their profession.
�Civil Club

The objectives of the Lawrence Institute of Technology Civil Club are t o encourage
the development of a professional consciousness, t o afford an opportunity for civil
engineering students t o become acquainted, t o practice working together effectively,
t o promote a spirit of congeniality among themselves, and t o provide friendly contact
with the engineering profession.
The club, reorganized in November,
1955, has about 20 members that attend the
monthly meetings, which consist of movies pretaining t o the subject and speakers from
local engineering firms.
Campus activities range f r o m the installation of the flume in the stream t o the installation of the stairs into the valley f o r use by the student body.
The society is primarily technical and membership is open t o all students majoring
in civil engineering. The group functions through the Civil Engineering department
with Mr. Keightley currently acting as its faculty advisor.

�Mechanical Engineering Club
O n November 4, 1955, a new organization was formed with the cooperation of Mr.
Levinson and the senior class of 1956. This group of interested people founded the
club with the express hope and belief that something constructive could be accomplished by the seniors of Lawrence Tech in their spare time. The primary purpose of
such an organization would be t o translate engineering principles and theory into practical applications.
The members worked together in designing and constructing apparatus for laboratory
purposes. A fine example is the gas furnace that will be used t o melt metals in future
heat treat classes. In addition t o the furnace, a table t o make molds, tongs t o grip
and pour the melting pot, cope and drag molding sets, riddles t o sift sand, b o t t o m
boards, and various other accessories were produced. W i t h such a fine project completed, i t is hoped that future members will also endeavor t o continue this fine organization. A smoke tunnel is planned for the near future.

The alumni dinner dance, which was held March 3, 1956, at the Latin Quarter, was
well worth the price of entertainment for the evening. Featured during the evening
was dinner music by the Don Barie Trio, music for dancing was provided by Fred Netting and his orchestra.
The alumni dinner dance, always the outstanding alumni social event of the year, was
planned bigger and better than ever this year. Those who have been t o these affairs
in the past, and this year included, know the wonderful time had by all in renewing old
acquaintances and enjoying the company of fellow alumni.

The Lambda Iota Tau Honor A w a r d was founded by Dean Russel Lawrence in 1934,
only t w o years after he had founded Lawrence Tech.
The key of this honor society is presented each year t o those students who stand out
above average in activities and grades. These men combine a high standard of scholarship, with an active interest in extra-curricular activities. Since the founding of Lambda
lota Tau, its key has become the most coveted of awards.

Realizing that all fraternities on campus were basically formed for the betterment of
high ideals at Lawrence Tech, a council composed of representatives from the five
fraternities was formed to correlate certain activities and interests for their mutual
benefit.
One of the primary functions of the council is to screen all pledge candidates for
scholarship requirements necessary for application to anyone of the five fraternities on
campus. Regulation of the opening dates of the rushing season are also controlled by
the council. During the school year the social calendar dates of each fraternity are
supervised to discourage conflicts.
The Chairmanship of the council rotates annually and during the past school year
Donald Mulrenin of Kappa Phi Sigma Fraternity acted as chairman.

Since its formation in 1933 as the fifth chapter of Alpha G a m m a Upsilon, the Epsilon
chapter has been a driving force in the growth of Lawrence Tech. In 1937, the chapter
became the first fraternity on campus to have its own house, which it retained until
W o r l d W a r II. It became a regular supplier of Student Council officers and representatives in the various organizations at LIT. Epsilon was instrumental in the formation of
the Inter-Fraternity Council and has always had its members on Tech's athletic teams.
Nationally, Alpha G a m m a Upsilon is one of the fastest growing fraternities in the
country. It achieved national status in 1949 and has since expanded from the Midwest
into the East with more expansion imminent.
This year saw the introduction of Epsilon's "Winter Waltz," a very successful dance,
which was held in January. The success of the event has established it as an annual
affair, and one of the highlights of Tech's social season.
W i t h an ever-increasing membership and the formation of an alumni chapter, as well
as the backing of such projects as the "Winter Waltz," Epsilon can look forward to an
age of progress and prosperity.

Kappa Phi Sigma fraternity may be the youngest fraternity in the school but this does
not deter its social activities or participation in school functions.
This year has proved to be an outstanding one for Kappa Phi Sigma both socially and
financially. It marks the largest drive to raise funds for a fraternity house and the
initiating of the policy to hold an annual convention. The fund raising campaign was
partially assisted by funds from the 200 club.
This first annual convention was held this year and noted the beginning of a grand
event. This convention helps to further promote the over all good will among members.
Another big social event which turned out to be a big success was a tile laying party.
This helping hand gesture is indigenous to fraternity life.

The Michigan Beta C h a p t e r of K a p p a Sigma K a p p a Frafernity was founded at Lawrence institute of Technology in 1948 by twelve men seeking to develop a spirit of
brotherhood and to promote interest in social and scholastic activities.
Achievement of this goal was obtained by sundry social activities such as the food
concession at the Michigan State Fair and the annual Millionaires' Party, which are the
prime fund-raising activities. The money earned from these various events were put
into the K a p p a Sigma K a p p a Building Fund which, some day, will be used to build a
fraternity house on the proposed "Fraternity Row."
Social events for the year included the Presentation Banquet held at Bill's Northern
Inn, weiner roasts, Softball games, bowling team, Halloween and. New Year's Eve parties.
The spirit of brotherhood and constructive thinking is a valuable integration of K a p p a
Sigma K a p p a and its actions are a function of our fraternity.

�Phi Kappa Upsilon
Phi Kappa Upsilon is represented at Lawrence Tech by Alpha Chapter in night school
and by Delta Chapter in day school. Phi Kappa Upsilon, which is the oldest fraternity
on campus, was founded August 17, 1932, at the suggestion of the late Dean Russell E.
Lawrence, the founder of Lawrence Tech.
This past summer saw many of our members working at our State Fair Stand. In a
short-time to come this stand should become a real going outfit.
On April 28, our twenty-third annual Dinner Dance was held at the Hotel Fort Shelby
with the music presented by the old favorite Fenby-Carr and his orchestra. More than
one hundred and fifty couples took part in this wonderful affair. New Year's Eve found
many couples ushering in the new year for Phi Kappa Upsilon. At both the Frosh Fling
and the J-Prom were found about twenty-five couples supporting these school functions.
This past school year saw Phi Kappa Upsilon welcome in approximately thirty new
members into Delta Chapter and fifteen into Alpha Chapter.
To round out a successful year P.K.U. held its convention in Detroit on May 19, with
seventy members present to discuss the future plans of P.K.U.

"To develop a high standard of naorals and character, encourage scholarship, and
develop honoi and loyalty among the students of the Alma M a t e r " is the purpose of
Rho Delta Phi Fraternity.
In early 1938 sixteen men realized the need for a new social fraternity.
W i t h the help of Dean Hendrickson they banded together to form the Alpha Chapter of Rho
Delta Phi Fraternity in November, -1938. Many hours into weeks were spent planning
and organizing the constitution, the pledge manual, and the pledge season. March 5,
1939, marked the official inception of Rho Delta Phi as fourteen charter members
received their pins and certificates. Later the Fraternity formed additional Beta and
Alpha-Omega Chapters for day school and alumnae members respectively.
Members have always been active in school activities since the beginning of the
Fraternity. A s an example, this year the editors of the Tech News and the L-Book are
Brothers Joe Fleshner and Gary Gast.
Throughout the year there have been many successful social functions, both stag and
drag.

In its comparatively young life, Sigma Kappa Psi Fraternity has kept pace with the
changing scene and progress of Lawrence Tech. A t the time of Sigma Kappa Psi's inception, the Technical Institute was located in the building at Harper and Mt. Elliot.
The construction of the Edsel Ford Expressway forced the move to the building on Woodward where the college classes were being held. Then came the move to the beautiful
new permanent campus. Sigma Kappa Psi, composed of Technical institute students,
is proud to have been a part of this progress.

Preparing the 1956 edition of the "L-Book" v/asn't all fun . . . there
were moments of t o i l , sweat and anxiety. The scheduling of pictures,
c o p y preparation and meeting of deadlines all were but a few of the
tasks t o be c o m p l e t e d .
The f a c t t h a t this issue reached you in time
was due t o the fine cooperation of all listed above . . . there were
others who helped in minor ways, offering encouragement and suggestions, but memory slips their names. To each and everyone who
assisted in the least may I express a sincere thanks and t h a t it was
perhaps you . . . the f o r g o t t e n ones . . . t h a t really became the force

The basic aim of the C i v i l Engineering Department has a l ways been to introduce students to the many various phases of
c i v i l engineering. Courses such as highway engineering, sewer
design, surveying, and concrete laboratory are offered to meet
the student's need for understanding municipal-type problems.
Structural drawing, structurtd steel design, and reinforced concrete design are a few of the subjects offered to give the student
new, as well as, basic ideas concerning the rapidly growing
construction industry. Due to the increasing demand for c i v i l
engineers, i t is hoped that more students w i l l enter this branch
of engineering i n the future.

The instructors' a d v i c e and guidance are a l w a y s
appreciated when a student i s faced with a problem.
In January of this school year, Lawrence Institute of Technology received a new electronic
digital computer. Plans have been made for
courses, available to students, in computer
programing.
The computer is a Burroughs Model E 102. I t
has an 11 column keyboard and a 12 digit readout or printer. The memory unit consists of a
magnetic drum capable of storing 2,500 bits of
information. The computer is capable of performing 20 additions per second. Division is
the machine's slowest function — only two or
three operations per second.
With the recent acquisition of an electronic computer, a new
computer has been initiated at L . I . T . Here Mr. Snoblin demonstrates some of the functions of the computer to a group of
anxious students.
Along with a knowledge of programming and operating the
computer, a certain understanding of the internal workings of
the machine is necessary, explains Mr. Snoblin.

���The 1960-61 season w i l l long be remembered by the students and fans of L . I . T . Ending theJ
season with a 21-5 win-loss record, the Blue Devils broke nine previous scoring records. The
Co-Captains, Cap Pethers and AU-American John Bradley guided the Blue Devils to lead the
nation in team scoring. The team broke the 100 point mark nine times and averaged 97.2 points
per game, while John led the nation with a 32.5 average per game. The climax of the season
came when Cap Pethers captured the School Scoring Record only a few weeks after John broke
the Werner Killians record set in 1952-53.

The sound of children's laughter, the glow of parents'
smiles and the thundering melody of Christmas hymns
truly describe this year's annual Christmas Party given
by the Student Council of L . I . T .
There was an event for a l l of the nine hundred persons that attended, from magic shows to cake walks.
There were films and cartoons, cotton candy, family
singing, and free refreshments for everyone.
The Student Council sponsors the annual Christmas
Party for the underprivileged Children of Southfield.
From the youngsters who waited so eagerly to talk with
Santa, to the adults who took home cakes, flowers, etc.,
everyone enjoyed a taste of the true spirit of Christmas.
As written in some Christmas Carols; "Peace on
Earth, Good w i l l to men," "Joy to the World," that is
the feeling that a l l had when the festivities were over.
The true meaning of Christmas was displayed and felt
by all who attended the Student Council's Annual Christmas Party.
Santa patiently recorded the wishes of five hundred
children and presented them with gifts.
"Watch the bunny!" was a frequent request at the
magic show presented by Ken Cook.

The Society for the Advancement of Management is the recognized national professional organization of
management people in industry, commerce, government and education.
The first student chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management in Michigan was organized
in June of 1949 at Lawrence Institute of Technology. Beginning with a small membership S.A.M. has
grown to over seventy-five members this year.
The basic objectives of the University Program are: (1) to bring together executives in business and
Students preparing to go into business, (2) to serve as an effective medium for the exchange and distribution
of information on the problems, policies, and methods of industry and management, (3) to provide students
with the opportunity to participate in organizing, planning, directing and controlling or the activities of an
organization dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the art and science of management.
Plant tours with business executives give students an insight into the practice of the management
profession. This year the society has been to the Montgomery Ward and Company, Chevrolet Spring and
Bumper, Bell Telephone Company, The Stroh Brewery Company, and Hiram Walker Incorporated.

M i c h i g a n B e t a chapter is one of the t h i r t y - s i x chapters of Kappa Sigma Kappa F r a t e r n i t y w h i c h i s located
throughout the U n i t e d States and Canada.
Kappa Sigma K a p p a was founded by four V i r g i n i a M i l i t a r y I n s t i t u t e cadets on September 28, 1867, and i s one
of many n a t i o n a l f r a t e r n i t i e s that were founded i n the Southern s t a t e s d u r i n g the R e c o n s t r u c t i o n P e r i o d f o l l o w i n g
the C i v i l War.
A l t h o u g h the f r a t e r n i t y expanded g r e a t l y during the e n s u i n g y e a r s , i t was not u n t i l 1948 that a chapter of Kappa
Sigma Kappa was i n s t a l l e d on the campus of L a w r e n c e I n s t i t u t e of T e c h n o l o g y .
A s the chapter d e s i g n a t i o n i n d i c a t e s , M i c h i g a n B e t a chapter was the s e c o n d chapter of the f r a t e r n i t y to be
i n s t a l l e d i n M i c h i g a n ; however, the n e x t few years saw the i n s t a l l a t i o n of the r e m a i n i n g f i v e M i c h i g a n chapters.
D u r i n g the l a t e 1940's and early 1 9 5 0 ' s , w h i c h was a p e r i o d of tremendous expansion w i t h i n the National
organization of the f r a t e r n i t y , men from M i c h i g a n chapter h e l d s e v e r a l o f f i c e s i n the N o r t h C e n t r a l Province and
the Grand C o u n c i l .
Many of these men have now moved from the D e t r o i t area, but the r e s u l t s of t h e i r e f f o r t s are s t i l l apparent in
North C e n t r a l P r o v i n c e and the N a t i o n a l o r g a n i z a t i o n .

The former D e a n , Russell E. Lawrence, suggested that a f r a t e r n i t y be formed on campus; from t h i s idea P h i
Kappa U p s i l o n was founded, the f i r s t one on L . I . T . ' s campus.
I t was organized i n order to perpetuate the bond of f r i e n d s h i p between the o r i g i n a l s t u d e n t s of the college and
those who f o l l o w e d . T h i s F r a t e r n i t y does embody a l l the i d e a l s of Dean L a w r e n c e , as w e l l as those of Lawrence
Institute.

U p s i l o n F r a t e r n i t y members has been important but u n p u b l i c i z e d .
In June 1959, P h i Kappa U p s i l o n became the f i r s t f r a t e r n i t y at L a w r e n c e T e c h to own a house. D u r i n g the past
year, the house, l o c a t e d on N i n e M i l e between Evergreen and L a h s e r , has become the center of f r a t e r n i t y a c t i v i t i e s . Through the efforts of the c o l l e g i a t e and a l u m n i members the house has been c o m p l e t e l y redecorated and

The Fraternity House, now in its second year of operation,
was purchased by the Phi Kappa Upsilon Housing Corporation
in the spring 1959. The purchase of the property was the culmination of more than twenty years of hope and effort on the part
of the members of Phi Kappa Upsilon Fraternity.
The House, located on two acres of land facing West Nine Mile
Road, is a large nine-room, two-story brick house with a finished basement. The first floor includes a huge l i v i n g room,
T.V. room, kitchen, dinette, and a large hall used for fraternity
functions. Three large bedrooms on the second floor provide
sleeping quarters accommodating fourteen members.
Plans for additional sleeping quarters, paved parking lot, and
the conversion of the attached two car garage into a recreation
room are now being considered.

�ADVERTISEMENTS
You, today's graduate, are entering an exciting new era where you will live
better than any generation has ever lived before—the era of all-electric living.
Your all-electric home for example, thanks to time-saving electric equipment
and appliances, will allow you and your family more time to enjoy life together.
Your job will be smoother too. Electricity, in everything from office equipment to heavy machinery, will lighten your work—make it more enjoyable.
If you decide on further education, your field of study may well be related
to electricity. Perhaps someday, as a scientist or technician, you will even
lend your knowledge to further mold the all-electric world of tomorrow.
But wherever the future finds you, whatever your place in life, electricity Will
be there to help you live better than ever'before—live better electrically.

�_ v e r y hopeful engineering graduate has visions of a
"dream-job":
. . . a career that not only inspires seif-confldence from the
start but a good starting salary as well.
. . . a career that offers a challenging opportunity for creative
growth.
. . . a job in which he can meet interesting men with ideas as
exciting as his own.
. . . a job that offers the possibility of broadening travel.
. . . a career in which he works with an understanding
management deeply concerned with his future success,
. . . a job where he can take advantage of an executive
development training program.
Do such dream-jobs actually exist?
Frankly, we can't s a y how many such opportunities exist. But
they do exist at Pioneer. Here a r e a few of the outstanding
benefits w e offer:
1. Excellent starting income. Substantial merit increases.
2. Creative design and research work.
3. Diversification of creative duties; travel.
4. Company-sponsored executive development programs.
5 . A youthful and understanding management.
6. Company-sponsored athletic and recreational programs.
7. Other liberal benefits.
8. Air-conditioned offices, engineered lighting, parking area,
etc.
9. Nationally famous staff.
Before you make that vital first-job decision, give serious
thought to what you want your engineering c a r e e r to be.
Perhaps you prefer the limitations of a specialized career.
If not, drop in at Pioneer for a pleasant chat. We'll be g l a d
to explore the possibilities with you. And you'll be pleasantly
surprised to discover many Lawrence Tech alumni, too.

Professor Harold C. Boothroyd, Chemistry Department Chairman, was
with Lawrence Institute of Technology since its founding i n 1932. The
above verse represents his thirty-five years of teaching.
Upon graduation from Cornell University i n 1921 w i t h a Bachelor of
Science degree i n Chemistry, he taught at the University of Detroit.
Opportunity enabled h i m to j o i n the staff of a newly created educational institution—Lawrence Institute of Technology i n 1932.
His devotion to the school, his kindness and understanding, were felt
by all who came i n contact with h i m . He gave freely and conscientiously of his time and efforts. There are a great many people who
have benefited from his friendliness and warmth as well as from his
technical instruction.
I t is w i t h deep respect and sincere affection that we offer these
thoughts.

I n small architectural design classes students work
more closely w i t h he instructor. Mr. Zonars, a
graduate of Chanbrook, is having one of the many
interesting c r i t i q u e w i t h the senior class.
���One of the best ways to learn architectural design is to be confronted w i t h
an actual p r o b l e m . As a typical example
the senior class has undertaken to work
out a p r e l i m i n a r y design of a Southfield Civic Center. T h i s involves field
studies, statistical reports, study models,
meetings w i t h the mayor and council
of Southfield. Terry Measel, Tino Zago, Pat Flaherty, and Chuck Corman, f o u r
of the seven students i n the senior design class, are discussing their civic
center.

�ANNUAL CHRISTMAS P A R T Y
T h i s year's S t u d e n t C o u n c i l Christmas Party was
c o o r d i n a t e d to be the best. Over seven h u n d r e d
persons a t t e n d e d the h o l i d a y event, more than
ever before i n the history of o u r Christmas Parties.
T h e decorations, activities, a n d g r o u j ) particip a t i o n were at t h e i r Y u l e t i d e best.
L o n g w i l l the laughs a n d joys of the Christmas
P a r t y r i n g i n the hearts of a l l those present on
December 5 t h . F r i e n d s h i p , love, togetherness

the greatest yet.
T h e c h i l d r e n of S o u t h f i e l d w h i c h were present

dainty Miss receives an assist from Professor H . Williams,
[ead of the English Department, who sponsored a highly
iccessful cake walk.
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing . . ." began a medley of Yuletide arias bv the spirited crowd under the direction of
talented Dr. Edwin Graeffe.
�Pastel angels and delicate clouds were suspended
in the cafeteria to create a heavenly atmosphere
lor those taking advantage of free refreshments.
A tall, stately Christmas tree highlighted a ribboned area in which the cake walk was held. Several festive cakes and baked goods, as well as fruit
baskets, were prizes for appreciative winners.
Drum majors, dangling ornaments, and another
Christmas tree beckoned all to visit Santa Claus
in the Student Lounge. The Glee Club assisted
by Mr. and Mrs. Slaughterbeck and the visitors
(young and old alike) led by Dr. Graeffe sent
heavenly strains echoing throughout L . I . T .
Holly-decked corridors led guests to rooms of entertainment which featured a magician, puppets,
cartoons, and the f i l m , " M y Friend Flicka." A
huge Christmas tree and colorful wreath provided
a welcome setting to those entering t i e main
lobby
"Gee, Santa, this Christmas I want . . ." was the start of
hundreds of ardent desires which Santa patiently recorded
for his special night.
Officer Walter Wilson proved to a mammoth audience that
safety can be fun. Magic and audience participation were
used in his act to keynote the importance of safety to
everyone.
�SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS
Senior Class officers Donald Schmill, Sec.-Treas.; James Boeberitz. Pres.: and Carl Bouvier, Vice-Pres.: go over receipts of the Senior Dinner Dance.
Mr. Webster states that senior means "noting or
pertaining to the highest class or last year of the
course."
For some the last year seems to be the hardest to
attain but the men who have made it leave behind
them an impressive list of activities.
This year's senior class was one of the first to
throw a financially successful Frosh Fling and
J-Prom.
DAY SCHOOL
The men graduating this year have held high
positions on the Student Council: vice-president,
recording secretary, parliamentarian, publicity
chairman, homecoming chairman, and a total of
eight men serving the student body as representatives. Four members of the Senior Class have
served the L-Book staff—one being the assistant
editor.

Lambda Iota T a n , and six to Who's Who i n
American Universities and Colleges.
The seniors topped off their year by re-establishing the Senior Dinner Dance which was held at
the Capistrano Restaurant.

�Campus Scenes
�Lawrence Tech's cafeteria is busy from seven in
the morning until nine at night.
The beautiful Lawrence Tech campus is located on
sixty-four acres of land at Northwestern Highway and
West Ten Mile Road in the City of Southfield. By 1975
the population center of the Detroit metropolitan area
will be at a spot on the campus.
�Campus Scenes
One half of Lawrence Tech's students attend night
classes.
The modern buildings and tree covered campus make a
beautiful setting for the school's 3000 day and night
students.
S'inter scenes like these are common to Lawrence
Tech students who attend classes from eight o'clock in
the morning until eleven at night.
The first Lawrence Tech building was originally the St. Francis Home for Orphan Boys. I t
was located at 15100 Woodward A v e n u e . I n 1916
i t was purchased by the F o r d Motor Company and
used for the Ford Trade S c h o o l . Then i n 1932
Henry F o r d leased the b u i l d i n g to L a w r e n c e
Tech for a nominal y e a r l y fee.
. . . . founded so that teachers
could
teach and students could study the natural truths without bias.
�RUSSELL E. LAWRENCE
Founder

In 1932 the w o r l d was i n the m i d s t of a great
depression.
T h i s was the year that Dean Russell Ellsworth
Lawrence founded Lawrence Institute of Technology. He had great f a i t h and v i s i o n . A n d he
had 222 l o y a l students.
There were only ten members of the f a c u l t y
and the laboratories were n o t so w e l l equiped.
But the s m a l l group of students and teachers
carried on. T h e i r f a i t h was r e w a r d e d when the
second year brought an increase to 386 s t u d e n t s .
Meanwhile the banks closed and the w o r l d economic p i c t u r e grew darker.
The next year brought continued growth to 425
students, but i t also brought sorrow and c o n f u sion w i t h the sudden death of Dean. Russell at the age of 45. He had been i l l but a short t i m e .
A t t h i s p o i n t the c o n t r o l of the college was
put i n the hands of Dean Lawrence's younger
brother who now heads the i n s t i t u t i o n . He had
come from I n d i a n a U n i v e r s i t y to F l i n t , M i c h i g a n ,
where he was employed i n the General Motors
engineering l a b o r a t o r i e s . He was but 25 years
old.
P r e s i d e n t Lawrence guided the c o l l e g e through
some t u r b u l e n t y e a r s . H i s f a i t h , too, was w e l l
founded for every one of Lawrence T e c h ' s years
has shown an increase i n enrollment and i n f l u ence. The number of students has grown to about
3000 w i t h a proportionate increase i n the f a c u l t y .
The o r i g i n a l indebtedness has been p a i d , and a
new campus begun i n 1957 when the f i r s t b u i l d i n g
opened.
�The Industrial Technical Institute (later
changed to Technical Institute Division) was
originally the Packard Rolls-Royce plant.

dismayed
by the news t h a t C l a y t o n " C a p "
Pethers had w i t h d r a w n from the team and from
s c h o o l . He was averaging 17.3 p o i n t s per game
at the time of h i s departure and was one of the
mainstays of the team.
The loss of Cap was dramatized by the
chaotic p l a y of the B l u e D e v i l s i n t h e i r next
game. A s a r e s u l t the team lost to a poor
B a l d w i n - W a l l a c e team, 98 to 85.

the B l u e D e v i l s were up-set by t h e i r o l d foes,

game the B l u e
D e v i l s beat I l l i n o i s T e c h , who were a l s o u p set the previous n i g h t by the eventual champions.
L a w r e n c e T e c h won the hard fought

�The freshmen plan their attack on the Sophomores.
Hell Week
Entering college is perhaps one of the biggest
steps that a man takes for he approaches the
strange and unknown world of the college student. Lawrence Tech helps the entering student
make his adjustment by proclaiming one week in
October Hell Week. The freshmen are invited to
participate, to enjoy, and to learn-for Hell Week
is always a memorable occasion.
�This year, as usual, The Lawrence Tech
Blood Bank was a tremendous success. Students
from all parts of the city and suburbs gave their
time and life-giving blood to this worthy cause.
It is to these unselfish individuals, plus the
Blood Bank Organization Committee, that thanks
is given for a job well done.
The function of the Blood Bank is to provide
blood; first to the students who need it, and
secondly to outside cases. The Bank furnishes
blood not only to the donors but to other students
as well — for there are circumstances where some
individuals cannot give their blood as they would
like to. The Bank receives its blood supply from
three drives given throughout the year. The Day
school. Night school, and Technical Institute
thus have different periods in which their students can take advantage of this most worthy
cause.
During the blood drives the student lounge takes on the
atmosphere of a hospital.

Santa Claus w a s welcomed by ma
hundred children who attended.
This year's Christmas party, sponsored by the
Student Council, offered a variety of events for
the underprivileged children of Southfield.
As usual, the most popular person at the party
was Santa Claus, who did his best to see that
all the orders of the children were filled. After
a few helpings of cotton candy, many of the
tykes began to sport beards that put Santa's
to shame.
Also popular were the cake walks, magic
shows and cartoons. Many parents in attendance
took home baked goods, Christmas flowers, or
fruit baskets.
Decorations, ranging from stately trees to
pastel angels, created their own special glow
of good cheer. The Lawrence Tech Glee Club
did its usual fine job of providing carols.
For the young, Christmas is indeed a magic
time. Nowhere was this more in evidence than
at this year's party. No one who participated,
student or faculty member, could fail to capture
a fragment of the true meaning of Christmas.
��This year's Homecoming festivities got under
way with the Blue Devils facing a strong Ferris
team. The Blue Devils, paced once again by
John Bradley, played a strong game, almost upsetting the highly favored Ferris squad.
The celebration then moved to the Armenian
Hall, where the sounds of Tommy Baldwin made
for an enjoyable evening of dancing and socializing. The intermissions were made lively by
the vocal stylings of the Jamaicans.
The dance was highlighted by the crowning
of Lawrence Tech's Homecoming Queen for 1962.
The judges were faced with their usual difficult
task of choosing one girl from the group of
sparkling Misses. Certainly none could disagree
with them when they selected Miss Dale Hesser,
Alpha Gamma Upsilon's nominee, as L.I.T.
sweetheart for the coming year. Runners-up were
Miss Kathy Fitzpatrick, the L-Book's nominee,
and Miss Karen Evans of Circle-K. We do not
know how the various campus organizations do it,
but each year the candidates seem to get more
charming and vivacious.
All in all, it was a night to make one wish
that Homecoming could be once a week, rather
than once a year.

For the Junior Class this was a year of hard
academic achievement and successful social
events. The subjects encountered in this year
are generally considered the toughest — but the
year is something to look foreward to. The
Junior Class is usually the best instigator of
activities on the campus, and this year was no
exception. The J-Prom, the famed dance of the
year, was a tremendous success due to the hard
work and perseverance of the Juniors. The dance
was held in April at the Armenian Culture Center.
Besides this memorable, other activities included
the annual Christmas party and the activities
with Founder's Day. Good luck, Juniors, may
your Senior year provide the most in satisfaction
to you.

This year, as usual, the Sophomore Class
presented a successful "Frosh Fling." This
dance was the climax of the annual "Hell Week"
harassment. It was well received by the Freshmen who were very tired after the week of
punishment from the Sophomores. Later on during
the year, the Sophomores were the honored guests
of the Freshmen who presented them a return
dance on St. Patrick's Day. The Sophomore
Class was also active in other events throughout the year; such as, the annual Christmas
Party and the Homecoming Dance. With spirit
and success such as this, the coming years will
be fruitful for the graduating class of 1964.

The Architectural Club had its beginning in
1932, then being called the Cliff Dwellers. It
was originally organized to enable the members
to stimulate and further develope a wide scope
of interest in architecture through extra-curricular activities.
The club's agenda is set up to enable the
students to broaden their outlook, judgements,
and accomplishments by discussions. From these
activities it is hoped that the student w i l l develope an interest in remaining alert to what is
happening in Iiis profession, not only while a
student, but throughout his career.
In 1948, the club became a student branch of
the American Institute of Architects, which enabled the students to benefit from professional
contacts with the Detroit Chapter of the A . I . A .
The field trips are arranged to allow the club
members the opportunity to view famous works
and structures first hand. Some of the places
visited in the past are; Taliesin .\orth, ^v'isconsin; Chicago, Toledo, Concordia College in
Indiana; ;,Iidland, and Ann Arbor.

The Society of Automotive Engineers formed
their student chapter at Lawrence Tech in 1947
and has had a continued growth until today i t is
one of the largest technical societies on campus.
Also the number of members at Lawrence Tech
makes i t one of the largest S.A.E. groups in the
country. The members are either day or evening
engineering students.
Becoming a member of S.A.E. acquaints the
prospective engineer with the many facets of his
profession through lectures, films, and field
trips. Along with this the society always gives
assistance to the members to help them through
their courses of study.
The society has many guides and aids in
helping the student engineer to better understand the field he is going into, whether i t is
research and development or any of the engineering fields, such as, industrial, production, aircraft, automotive, or any of the many others.

�Each year, under the sponsorship of the Student Council, the L—Book is presented as a
pictorial review of the activities and events
that made up the past year. The activities of the
fraternities, clubs, professional societies, and
the Student Council are portrayed along with
many special events.
Many of the teachers and the administration
are also shown along with scenes of the past,
present, and future facilities of the school.

A l l of this is done so that the student may
have a lasting record of his college life.
EDITOR'S COMMENTS
The L-Book, I believe, should be a pictorial
presentation of the events and activities of
Lawrence Institute of Technology for the year.
It should be a record for the students, a history for the administration, and an effective
image of the college for the public.
I hope that I have accomplished these goals.

truly impossible i f it were not for the close, brotherly
relationship which exists among the members. In no
group on campus is cooperation needed more than in
a fraternity, and in no fraternity is this cooperation
witnessed more than in Kappa Phi Sigma Fraternity.
Perhaps this is due to the importance i t places in the
"education" of its members. Not only does it stress
the value of a high scholastic average, but also the
ability for and the value of leadership. Many students
feel that an education is gained through textbooks
alone. The members of Kappa Phi Sigma feel that
this is an entirely false conception. To be a well
rounded person with the ability to conduct ones self
in today's highly competitive society one should
participate i n as many school functions as possible,
accept responsibility when presented with i t , and do
his share of the work when there is a job to be done.
The men of Kappa Phi Sigma have ample opportunity
to do all these—in short to become effective leaders
of their group.
Eleven years ago Kappa Phi Sigma received its
charter and became a recognized fraternity at Lawrence Tech. Over the years it has grown in size and
status. It is now recognized as one of the most active
fraternities on campus. It gives support to the other
fraternities, clubs, and organizations as well as to
the school. It is the holder of many awards, including
the Blood Bank Trophy, a Scholarship Trophy, and
several others. It is also an active participant in the
I.F.C. baseball league and is the permanent owner of
the I.F.C. jug, having won it three years in a row in
the Annual Jug Hunt.
In addition to supporting functions of other organizations, i t has held many successful get-togethers
of its own. The Annual Moonshine Mingle and the
Tuition Club are two of the events in which i t asks
the school to participate. This year's record-breaking
crowd at the Moonshine Mingle consumed more food
and beverage than the total of the previous two.
New members are honored at the Semi-annual Dinner
Dance. Last winter's party was held at the Kenwood
Cocktail Lounge. Other parties given for the members
include bowling parties, a New "V'ear's Eve party,
Valentine's party, ice skating and tobogganing parties, treasure hunts, and beach parties.
Kappa Phi Sigma is proud of its members who take
an active interest in all phases of college life, social
as well as scholastic. ^'Tien any of the brothers receive recognition in connection with a service perform^ed for the school or for some other organization,
K.P.S. benefits from his prominence. This active interest in the school is one of the reasons i t is rated
highly by many students and members of the faculty.
To accomplish all of the above events would be

Tech was chartered in 1948 and has since become a major fraternity on the campus with a
membership that it can be proud of.
In the years 1961-1962, The Michigan Beta
Chapter has sponsored two raffles, a Millionaires
Party, and has supported the various Student
Council and I.F.C. functions. The brothers participate in all student organizations. Of the
seven students nominated for "Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universities" from Lawrence Tech four are members of the Beta Chapter. The fraternity is extremely proud of these
brothers.
In August, I 9 6 I , Kappa Sigma Kappa reconstructed its constitution in Chicago, thus building a stronger, more aggressive organization.
A quotation from the pledge manual sums up
the fraternity's status quite w e l l :
"Kappa Sigma Kappa is a modem fraternity
steeped in tradition. It continues to grow and
build so i t can meet the demands and. requirements of a great international fraternity."
The Michigan Beta Chapter of Kappa Sigma
Fraternity is a small part of an international
organization. The fraternity was originally established as an aid to the faculty of the Virginia
Military Institute. One of the primary ideals of
the fraternity today is to be of as much aid to
its respective faculties and administrators as
is possible. Although the primary function of
Kappa Sigma Kappa is that of a social organization, much emphasis is placed upon academic
scholarship. The fraternity is relatively modern
in character but couples this with many traditions carried on from the beginning.
From its beginning to the present Kappa
Sigma Kappa has endeavored to be national in
scope so that the ideals and aims of the fraternity could be practiced by college men everywhere. There are now thirty-two chapters active
in the United States and one active in Canada.
At present there are seven chapters active in the
State of Michigan, four of which are in the Detroit area.

R. Schlaff, President; J . Plas, Secretary: L. Miller,
Vice-president.
Besides being active in school affairs. Phi
Kappa Upsilon sponsors several of its own acti v i t i e s . The main project is the annual New
Year's Eve Party which brings in the new year
for many Lawrence Tech students and alumni.
Another annual activity is organizing and operating a refreshment stand at the Michigan State
Fair. The members work together to make this a
profit-making function while having fun at the
same time. Each year, with the assistance of the
alumni, the fraternity sponsors an impressive
raffle on campus. The proceeds are used for a
scholarship fund for the school and to help finance the Fraternity House.
Phi Kappa Upsilon Fraternity, the oldest
fraternity on campus, was founded August 17,
1932, at the suggestion of the late Russell E.
Lawrence, founder of Lawrence Institute of Technology. With the formation of Delta Chapter in
day school in 1939. Phi Kappa Upsilon became
the largest active group on campus. Since that
time over fifteen humdred men have become members of the fraternity.
The fraternity participates in all of the activities at Lawrence Tech. It has members on the
Student Council, Tech News, L—Book, in many
clubs and socities, and in class offices. The
members also support the dances and parties of
the various other fraternities and clubs in- the
college.

The Alumni Chapter of Phi Kappa Upsilon
Fraternity has been actively engaged in supporting both the student chapters and Lawrence Tech
since its inception in 1933.
In the spring of 1956, they accounted for 20%
of a l l of the funds raised by the fraternities for
the Campus Development Fund.
The Alumni has sponsored the fraternity's
Alumni Dinner Dance every year since 1934.
During the spring of 1959, with the aid of the
collegiate chapters, i t held a raffle in which
first prize was a Ford Falcon. This money was
used for the fraternity house and to establish a
scholarship award for new members. In conjunction with this the Alumni awards a | 25 bond to
the pledge who raises his scholastic average
the most while pledging. From the returns on the
I960 raffle, a boat, motor, and trailer, the Chapter donated $ 200 to the college's Library Fund.
The prize in a recent P . K . U . raffle was
this boat, motor, and trailer.
The Alumni Chapter has a paid-up membership
of over one-hundred Brothers and is continuing
to play an active part in the affairs of LawrenceTech and the collegiate chapters.
�Housing Corporation
The F r a t e r n i t y House i s the Pride of every
member of the f r a t e r n i t y . Purchased after many
years of combined effort by every member, i t
has become a symbol of cooperation and progress
for everyone. T h i s makes P h i Kappa U p s i l o n a
f r a t e r n i t y to w h i c h every member i s proud of
belonging.
The F r a t e r n i t y House, now i n i t s t h i r d year
of o p e r a t i o n , was purchased by the P h i Kappa
U p s i l o n H o u s i n g Corporation i n the spring of
1959. The purchase of the property was the c u l m i n a t i o n of more than twenty years of hope and
effort on the part of the members of P h i Kappa
Upsilon.
The House, located on two acres of land at
21000 West Nine Mile Road, i s a large nine room
b r i c k b u i l d i n g . The f i r s t floor i n c l u d e s a huge
l i v i n g room, lounge, k i t c h e n , d i n e t t e , and a
large h a l l for fraternity f u n c t i o n s . Three bedrooms on the second floor provide sleeping space
for fourteen members.
The l i v i n g room and lounge have r e c e n t l y
been redecorated, and many other improvements
are now i n the p l a n i n g stage.
Rho Delta Phi
R. Grden, Vice-Pres.; M. Hartenberger, Pres.; B. Noetzold, Corr. S e c ;
V. Gary, Rec. Sec. (seated).
Rho Delta Phi is more than just a name; i t represents a group of men bonded together with several
goals in mind. The first of these goals being to initiate and support many social functions for the fraternity throughout the year. These social functions
include two pledge mixers which enable the members
to socialize with prospective members, two dinner
dances to honor the new members in the spring and
fall, a picnic in the summer, a halloween party, and,
of course, many other parties.
Each February, during the past few years, the fraternity has held St. Valentine's Day dances which
have been very successful. In April of each year the
fraternity holds a "Sportsman's Club" raffle which
is always a popular event on campus.
Along with the social aspect of fraternalism, Rho
Delta Phi strives to develope high standards of
morals and character, to encourage scholarship, and
to develope honor and loyalty among the students of
Lawrence Institute of Technology.
Rho Delta Phi consists of both day and night
school students. This is a tremendous advantage in
that the fraternity has people representing i t in a l l
phases of activity around the school whether i t be
day or night.

�Sigma Kappa Psi was formed in November,
1951. It is the only fraternity open to the students of the Technical Institute division of
Lawrence Tech. It is the youngest fraternity on
campus.
The aim of the fraternity is to develope
brotherhood, to enspire conformity to the ideals
and traditions of this fraternity, to create loyalty amony the members, to create loyalty to the
Institute, and to encourage social, forensic,
athletic, and especially scholastic activities.
The big event of the year is the annual banquet. For the past two years the banquets have
been held in the penthouse of the Veteran's
Memorial Building. The wives and girlfriends of
the actives and alumni also attend. At the banquet the new officers are introduced, and the new
members are presented with their pins. The remainder of the evening is devoted to dancing and
other social enjoyment. Other events of the year
are the Christmas Party and the Valentine's
Dance, Cupid's Capers. Every year Sigma Kappa
Psi "Big Brothers" the T . I . part of the blood
drives.

To receive a Lambda Iota Tau key is the goal
of every ambitious and active student at
Lawrence Tech.
Distinguished recognition is given to students with excellent academic records combined with exceptional interest and contributions in student activities.
Lambda Iota Tau recognizes that constant improvement is a necessity for any
dynamic organization. Therefore, their improvement is directed toward the standards set by the national honor societies.
In 1959, a big step in this direction was taken by raising the requirement of
six terms with a 2.0 honor point average to nine terms and using the total of
fourteen activities points instead of the previous total of points per term.
Congratulations to Lambda Iota Tau, and to the new members who have filled
the qualifications of this society.
Tau Iota is the honor society representing the Technical Institute and has the
same objectives as Lambda Iota Tau in the college.
The intention in forming Tau Iota was to give recognition to the Technical
Institute student who has excelled not only academically but in extracurricular
activities as well.
Tau Iota was formed and given i t s charter by the Student Council in 1959.
Congratulations to Tau Iota and the Technical Institute.

�ivery hopeful engineering graduate has visions of a
"dream-job":
. . a career that not only inspires self-confidence from the
start but a good starting salary as well.
. . a career that offers a challenging opportunity for creative
growth.
. . a job in which he can meet interesting men with ideas as
exciting as his own.
. . a job that offers the possibility of broadening travel.
. . a career in which he works with an understanding
management deeply concerned with his future success.
. . a job where he con take advantage of an executive
development training program.
Do such dream-jobs actually exist?
Frankly, w e can't say how many such opjiiortunities exist. But
they do exist at Pioneer. Here ore a few of the outstanding
benefits w e ofFer:
1. Excellent starting income. Substantial merit increases.
2. Creative design and research work.
3. Diversification of creative duties; travel.
4. Company-sponsored executive development programs.
5. A youthful and understanding management.
6. Company-sponsored athletic and recreational programs.
7. Other liberal benefits.
8. Air-conditioned offices, engineered lighting, parking area,
etc.
9. Nationally famous staff.
Before you make that vital first-job decision, give serious
thought to what you want your engineering c a r e e r to be.
Perhaps you prefer the limitations of a specialized career.
If not, drop in at Pioneer for a pleasant chat. We'll be g l a d
to explore the possibilities with you. And you'll be pleasantly
surprised to discover many Lawrence Tech alumni, too.

Well, once the Burroughs E 102 is set
up, and properly programmed, i t can perform those 5 m u l t i p l i c a t i o n and d i v i s i o n
problems i n only one second w i t h extreme a c c u r a c y . Furthermore, i t can add
or subtract numbers i n 1/20 of a second.
The advantage then of a computer is to
perform complex problems fast and accura t e l y . There i s a c a t c h , however, w h i c h
i s that the machine must be t o l d what to
do.
T h i s i s the role of the programmer,

Chemistry
Mr. Loren M. Knowles
Chemistxy is the branch of knowledge
which seeks to answer the questions, What
are substances composed of. How are their
properties related to their composition, and
How do these substances interact? The uncovering of these questions is the ultimate
aim of scientific research. Before research
must come the study and understanding of the
thought processes used in science. This is
the goal of the chemistry department at
L . I . T . For through programs of lecture and
experimentation, the student learns how wonderful and complex nature really is.

R a p i d s . T h e B l u e D e v i l s played doggedly, but l o s t i n an overtime period
by the score of 70-64.
D u r i n g h a l f - t i m e of the game, the candidates for the L I T Homecoming
Queen contest were i n t r o d u c e d and the o f f i c i a l j u d g i n g took place. Named
as Queen was Miss Pat Carrier, w i t h Miss Diane Kaminski and Miss Carol Garrett as a t t e n d a n t s .

Policy
The editors of this year's
Tech News have changed past
procedures of publishing the
paper bi-weekly to a policy of
publication once a week. It was
felt that this would permit the
presentation of news in a more
current and up to date manner
than was previously possible
under the old system.
The staff of the Tech News
has also been faced with the twofold obligation of serving both
the student body and the school
itself. Although in many cases,
because of divergent interests,
it has been difficult to serve both
equally, it has strived to cover
the two as thoroughly and adequately as possible.
Efforts have been made to
bring to the students a l l the
school news that they, as students, should be interested in,
and at the same time have brought
before them other points considered to be pertinent to their general knowledge and education.

Rho Delta Phi was founded on November 3, 1938 as a social fraternity. The main purpose of Rho
Delta Phi is to develop a high standard of morals and character, to encourage scholarship and to develop
honor and loyalty among the students of Lawrence Institute of Technology.
Rho Delta Phi conducts a monthly business meeting, has two dinner dances honoring its new members, a summer outing at a private cottage and a halloween party in the fall. Rho Delta Phi sponsors the
annual Sportsman's Raffle and supports all I . F . C . functions. Throughout the years Rho Delta Phi has
always been active in school functions. This was clearly demonstrated this past year. Rho Delta Phi
takes pride in the fact that the Senior Class President (day and evening) college, the Student Council
President and Treasurer, the Junior Class President (evening college), the Vice President and Treasurer
of the Senior Class (evening college), the Blood Bank Chairman, and officers and members of various
school societies are numbered among its membership.
To help others where one can is a duty. Without any motive or self-interest, they find an inner pleasure in spreading happiness around them and can take delight in the contentment of others as their own
work. These are the students that form a nucleus for the cooperation and friendship within the student
body.
There, then, are the members of Rho Delta Phi.
