�'Dedication
The student-teacher relationship is essentially an employer employee relationship where our tuition pays the instructor to
teach us the required subjects for a degree. If we learn the subject and pass the course, the teacher has done all that we can expect of him. Like any other employee, the teacher is entitled to
go home to his family, to the golf course, or wherever he wishes
when his day's work is done. But when he labors long hours for
us and with us over and beyond the obligations of his position, he
earns a friendship, a respect, and a gratitude which is hard to
repay in any way and impossible to repay with a few printed words.
We are a big class. We would like to dedicate this book to
a man with a big personality, a big sense of humor, and a big heart
—Professor Hans C. Erneman of the Mechanical Engineering Department. We are proud of Mr. Erneman and as the years roll
by, we sincerely hope that he will be proud of us.
The mechanical engineering courses are not easy. "Hans"
has the thankless job of teaching us how to think. Most people
don't like to think; it's hard work. It's harder work to teach the
student to think clearly. The long list of successful engineers
that are Erneman-trained bear witness to the rare ability of this
educator.
Engineering theory is fresh in our minds now. W i t h the high
degree of specialization in industry, we may use only a portion
of what we have learned here. We will forget much in time, but
by his example and his patience and his qualities as an instructor,
Hans Erneman has taught many of us how to think and this we
will never forget—and we will never forget Hans Erneman.
����We at Lawrence Tech are proud of the close relationship
that exists between the faculty, administration, and student body.
President E. George Lawrence set the key note for an informal
approach to student and faculty problems when he announced
that his office was always open to any student or teacher on
campus who had a problem. This attitude has been reflected
down through the departments of the school.
The faculty and administration of the school have always felt
that one of their major functions was that of guidance. Guidance
not only in the curricuiar field, but in any phase of public or private endeavor where the knowledge and experience of the faculty
and administration can stand the student in good stead.
It has long been recognized that the mere technical grounding of a student in the rudiments of his profession is falling far
short of the training which a college can give a student. The
faculty of Lawrence Tech are picked men who have proven their
ability to f i t the student in the best possible manner for his role
in society.
We shall long remember the example of the staff of this
institution and we hope that we have carried away not only some
of the technical knowledge but some of the ideals of the profe
sion and the school.

The experts can be w r o n g !
Throughout the colleges and universities in the nation, we
the class of 1950, half a million strong, have proved them wrong.
A n overwhelming majority of the male students graduating this
June attended college under the "CI B i l l " and Lawrence Tech
was no exception . . . W e were the " W a r Babies." W h e n we
enrolled in surprisingly large numbers in 1946, the experts said
that the ex-serviceman would be a miserable flop as a student;
yet here we are, cap and gown, diploma, and a big grin for the
experts who didn't t h i n k we had the goods.
W e are the largest class in Lawrence Tech history, three hundred twenty-one strong, but this is a distinction that we do
not wish to keep. W e want to see Lawrence Tech continue to
grow and we feel confident that it w i l l . W e are proud of our
school and just a little bit proud of ourselves. The Freshman
Class of 1946 had an enrollment of one thousand men. W h o can
blame us if at graduation we bust a little at the seams w i t h pride.
For a big class, we have been surprisingly close as a social
group and in our class endeavors. W e have had four class presidents in the day school section and it would have been d i f f i c u l t
to choose better men. Joseph Ouellette led the class in 1946,
William Haddow in 1947, John Erickson in 1948, and Gerard
Burke was our Senior Class President. Gerard Burke and Robert
Miner, the Night Senior Class President were largely responsible
for most of the Senior Class functions and we the Senior Class
would like to say "Thank Y o u " for a job well done.

T h i s year's Senior Class is the largest graduating class in the history of the school.
Approximately 3 2 0 men will receive degrees from the College of Engineering and the College of Business Administration.
W h i l e the class was too large for the students to get to know all of their classmates
intimately, the class functions were well attended and the class was a more tightly knit
body than would have appeared possible. T h ' s was largely due to the splendid work of the
two class presidents and their staffs of officers.
Gerard Burke was the president of the day school senior class and Robert Miner was the
president of the night school senior class.
Class activities for the year included a Senior Stag, a Senior Prom, Senior Class meetings,
and the publication of the L-Book.

�Every first and third Thursday of the month a familiar call rings forth from
the old library. "The meeting will please come to order." The Lawrence Tech
Student Council is in session. Although the student council never makes any
earth shaking decisions, the precept of self-government is fostered at Lawrence Tech.
The President of the Student Council is usually a graduating Senior. This
past year Richard F. Larkins served the student body as their president.
The major concerns of the Student Council are Lambda lota Tau Awards, to
seniors, Tech News and L-Book publications, Activity Awards, and relations
between students and faculty and administration members.
The council of '49-'50 became deeply embroiled in these items. Many of
the meetings were hard to miss as arguments became heated. Some of the
orations would have been a credit to a "Thomas Paine."
The best remembered incidents of the year were few but spirited. Perhaps
the greatest achievement was the re-institution of Founders' Day which drew
a capacity crowd to Lawrence Tech for this open house affair. The other business items that the council handled in fine fashion were library donations,
student placement, accreditation efforts, and allotment of student activity
funds.

Freshman—who will be proud to show the incoming students all "the ropes."
To these men we leave the feeling of pride in being students at Lawrence
Tech and carrying on the traditions of character, scholarship, and interest
which we formed here. We promise them all our support and wish them the

��The school year 1949-1950 was highlighted by many varied social activities. They ranged from little card games in a student's basement to " b i g name"
band dances at the Coliseum. In the center of all these events, providing the
initial spark, are the fraternity men of Lawrence Tech.
These men also form
the background for serious w o r k here at the college. For one of the many aims
of all fraternities is to make constructive contributions to the general wellbeing of the college itself.
Fraternity life is the spice in a college education.
It builds up a circle of
acquaintances for member students.
It provides group discussion activities,
i t educates in the art of social graces.
It instills the principles of brotherhood,
comradeship, and humility. These influences make college students better c i t i zens and better professional men.
��President E. G. Lawrence and Mr. Victor Basso receiving Lambda lota Tau Certificates
from Chairman John Lauer,
The highest possible award that any student at Lawrence Tech can earn is the coveted
Lambda lota Tau key. This heart-shaped key, emblematic of membership in the Lambda
lota Tau Honor Fraternity, marks a student w h o has combined scholastic proficiency w i t h
leadership and active participation in extra-curricular activities.
Dean Russell Lawrence, the founder of Lawrence Institute of Technology, was the g u i d ing hand in the institution of this honor award. Lambda lota Tau was originated in 1934,
just two years after the school was founded, and awards have been made annually every year
since, w i t h the single exception of the war year of 1945 when extra-curricular activities
were virtually non-existent on campus.
To be eligible for election to the honor society, a student must have completed his
sophomore year, must have completed six terms w i t h a m i n i m u m of " B " average, and must
have amassed a prescribed number of activity points w h i c h varies directly w i t h the number
of terms that the student spent at L I T and inversely w i t h his scholastic average.
This year for the first time in the fraternity's history two honorary memberships were
voted to two men in recognition of their splendid efforts in the fields of Lawrence Tech
educational and extra-curricular functions. President E. C. Lawrence received one of the
awards and the other w e n t to Mr. Victor Basso, the president of Lawrence Tech's first Student Council.

Epsilon Chapter, of Alpha Gamma Upsilon, was founded in June 1933, here at Lawrence Tech.
Since that time. Alpha Gamma Upsilon has obtained t h e status of a national
organization through the founding of its tenth chapter.
As in the past, A.G.U. members strive t o participate in many of t h e extra-curricular
activities.
A f e w of these activities include, student government organizations, S.A.E.,
A.C.S., and S.A.M.
Several men of Epsilon chapter have shown their ability in sports, par-
ticularly in the fencing and rifle teams.
The fraternity's social calendar has never had a dull moment throughout the past school
year.
Bowling matches, " s t a g " parties, dances and baseball matches against other clubs and
organizations are b u t a f e w .
The high spots of the f r a t e r n i t y for the past year include Alpha Gamma Upsilon Founders' Day celebration held at the Club Eagle, October 8, 1949, t h e annual Fall Frolic and the
presentation of the " m o s t valuable player" award of Tech's basketball team.
The members of Alpha Gamma Upsilon have worked t o stimulate the increase of student participation in the student government and other various activities of the school.

Kappa Sigma Kappa, represented on the Lawrence Tech campus by the Michigan Beta
Chapter, is the second of three national fraternities that sprang f r o m the Virginia Military
Institute during the expansion period f o l l o w i n g the civil war. The three chapters in the
order of their affiliation are: Alpha Tau Omega in 1865, Kappa Sigma Kappa in 1867, and
Sigma Nu in 1869.
During the first half century of growth. Kappa Sigma Kappa confined its expansion to
southern colleges and universities. However, since then, the fraternity has expanded on an
inter-national scale. A f t e r eighty-three years, it now has forty-six national chapters and
four inter-national chapters. The foreign chapters are represented in Canada, N e w Zealand
and Tasmania.
Some of the outstanding social events of the past year were the Halloween party and
dance held at the V/ings A i r p o r t , t w o formal initiation banquets at Vannelli's and Thomas'
Edgewater Inn, a big get-together w i t h our brother chapter, Michigan Alpha of the Detroit
Institute of Technology, and many other well-attended functions.
Kappa Sigma Kappa has always taken a large role in school functions and this year won
the second prize for organizations in the Founder's Day Celebration.
�The Wittnauer Choraleers have nothing on the mellow voiced offerings of this mighty ensemble of Kappa Sigma Kappa
Pledges.
Since their concerts were given during the noon hour,
LIT has come to regard the group as the creators of the finest
dinner music available on any campus.
�As t h e school year o f 1949-50 c o m e s t o a close, t h e m e m b e r s o f Phi Kappa

Rho Delta Phi Fraternity was founded in September of 1938 by a group of night school
students at Lawrence Tech. Ten years later, the Beta Chapter received its charter and this
second chapter was made up of day school students. In 1949, the Alpha Omega Chapter
was formed w h i c h is the alumni chapter of the fraternity.
Rho Delta Phi is purely a social fraternity and its primary function was and still is the
fostering good fellowship and friendship and the fraternal spirit of its brothers. The fraternity, however, has always taken an active part in any movement or activity which furthers
the interests of the student body, the staff, or any other group in the college community.

�Rho Delts w i l l be
found in the SAE, the
SAM, the ACS, the EE
Club, the CES, the Student Council, the Tech
News staff and the L-Book staff. Rho Delt took
a leading p a r t in the
founding of the Interfraternity Council and the
Rho Delts pride themselves in the cordial relations which they maintain with the other
fraternities on campus.
The fraternity maintains an inter-chapter bowling league throughout the winter months
along with a regular agenda of social affairs, both "stag" and "drag". On the more serious
side, the fraternity has initiated a building fund to be used for a fraternity house on the new
campus.
Rho Delt loses many members with the current graduating class, but it wishes them and
their classmates the best of luck as they leave Lawrence Tech to take their place in society.
�Interfraternity Council Chairman Lee Cromwell poses with his delegates for the 1949-50 school year.
The Inter-fraternity Council at Lawrence Tech was formed for the express purpose of
promoting harmony between the four fraternities on the campus. The council is made up
of two representatives from each member fraternity, Alpha Gamma Upsilon, Kappa Sigma
Kappa, Phi Kappa Upsilon, and Rho Delta Phi.
Meetings are held monthly to discuss problems that have arisen that are of a fraternal
nature and to plan inter-fraternity social functions.
The most ambitious undertaking of the body is the sponsoring of the annual Inter-fraternity Dance. Last year's dance which was the second such affair since the forming of
the group, was held at the Shangri La Club. All who attended had a good time and an even
larger affair is planned for the coming year.
On the serious Side, the IFC is charged with the responsibility of setting up and enforcing the rules and regulations governing pledging activities and pledging periods. All prospective fraternity men are investigated by the council to see that their scholastic averages
are up to par.
The chairmanship of the IFC rotates annually and for the past school year, Lee Cromwell of Kappa Sigma Kappa acted as chairman, with Harold Price and John Belevich of Rho
Delta Phi serving as secretary-treasurer.
�Just as the fraternities are the spice i n college life—the organizations are
the variety. Whether large or small, there is an organization which will interest each and every student on the T e c h campus.
Some are large and others are small. Some do big things and others do little
things. The Aero Club designed and constructed a midget racing plane, which
was in active competition at the Nation's A i r Races.
W i t h o u t organizations college life would be dull and mostly uninteresting.
To the students who take advantage of the organizations by participating in
them we say "stay active." T o those students who do not belong to organizations and reap extra-curricular knowledge we say "become active."

The Chem Club here at Lawrence Tech is an inobtrusive organization. It doesn't haze
its members in the hails or wildly publicize social events or meetings but it does promote
chemical education and it does have its share of social activities.
The club furthers education in chemistry in four major programs. Three of them are
in the field of visual education methods. Movies on an endless variety of subjects are shown
at each meeting. The motion pictures presentations range from simple measuring devices
to the complex forms of manufacturing in the chemical industry.
The club owns a slide film projector. V/hen a subject arises that merits a full treatment, the project is transferred to slide films for best possible results.
The third program takes in the display cases in the vicinity of the chem office. This
service not only aids Chem Club members but also presents the material to the student body
as a whole.
The final program features informative lectures by men who are prominent in the chemical field. It is here that the latest improvements and methods are revealed to students in
training.
The club's social activities are of the usual variety and are spaced throughout the year.
�Pictured are the officers of the CES for the
1949-50 school year.
Prominent in the minds of the Civil Engineering students is the year 1947. A t that time
a Civil Engineering Society was formed and also the C.E. curriculum was greatly improved
and enlarged by Professor William Menzel.
Operating in close conjunction w i t h the department, the club helps all concerned in
keeping up to date w i t h " t h e o r y and practice."
A not too scant existence is maintained through the acquisition of dues f rom C.E.S. m e m bers. Other revenue is obtained by doing outside w o r k for local concerns. During the past
year this extra money was used to purchase books for the Tech library.
The Civil Engineering Society is one of the smaller organizations on the campus but is
also one of the more active.

The purpose of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences is the advancement and dissemination of knowledge of the theory and practice of the aeronautical sciences.
Activities of the Lawrence Tech student branch of the IAS include the presentation of
motion pictures and lectures of various aeronautical subjects, the holding of field trips, and
attendance at meetings and discussions given by the Senior Detroit Section of the IAS.
Members of the student branch of the IAS are permitted to utilize most of the services and
the facilities of the senior section and they may take part in any of its deliberations.
The Senior Section sponsors competition among the student chapters in the State of
Michigan, usually in the form of a technical paper which is prepared and presented by one
of the student branch members at one of the senior section meetings. Lawrence Tech has
been quite successful in the past in walking off with more than its share of the student
awards.
One of the highlights of the past year
was a trip by plane to Cleveland, to tour
the N. A. C. A. flight propulsion laboratories.
The Lawrence Tech student branch is
under the faculty sponsorship of Professor George Martin, the head of the aeronautical engineering department.

During the 1947-1948 school year. Professor L. C. Bagby presented the idea that the
Masonic students f o r m a club. M r . Otis E. Bower did much of the ground w o r k for the
formation of such an organization by contacting Masonic students to ascertain their interest
and opinions.
Several meetings were held during the year, at w h i c h qualifications for membership and
various other phases of organizing a club were discussed. There was little social activity
during the early stages of the organization.
The 1948-1949 school year saw the actual formation of this Masonic club which was
named " T h e Lawrence Institute of Technology Square C l u b . " On January 2 0 , 1949, the
Student Council was petitioned for campus recognition w h i c h was denied, because the cons t i t u t i o n did not conform t o the prescribed regulations. The necessary changes were made
and on March 17, 1949, recognition was extended. Professor H. L. Byerlay was the faculty
advisor during the first year the Square Club was in existence.
In token of appreciation for the use
of college facilities, a set of chimes was
presented and installed in the college library to indicate the changing of classes.
During the past t w o years many social
activities such as, card and stag parties,
and dinner dances, have been enjoyed by
a membership larger than any other club
on the campus.

�President Ted Malpass receives the official charter
presentation was made October 27, 1949, during a
Memorial Building.
from F. S. Dowlding, National Director of SAM.
The
special meeting held in the Rackham Educational
The Society for Advancement of Management is the recognized national professional
society of management people in industry, commerce, government, and education. It represents no special interests but is motivated by a selfless zeal to spread the benefits of scientific management whenever management is required.
Professor Lloyd C. Bagby, faculty sponsor, organized a student chapter at Lawrence Tech
in June of 1949. The charter was awarded on October 27, 1949, by the Detroit Chapter of
SAM. The student chapter here at Lawrence Tech is sponsored by and holds its meetings
w i t h the Detroit Chapter.
The SAM meetings are held three times a month at the Rackham Educational Building.
The members participate actively in all meetings, discussions, and social functions.
In
addition, the student chapter holds meetings in the school to keep the members informed
of the management advancements made in industry.
Membership in the society is open to everyone w h o wishes to w o r k into the management side of industry. The only requirement made by the student chapter is that the student candidate for membership be of sophomore standing or better.
�The year 1938 saw the introduction o f the Society of Automotive Engineers
to Lawrence Tech. Night school lays claim to the organization of the S.A.E.
on the campus. However, little was done in the way of student activities until
after the war.
In 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 signing 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 which was granted A p r i l 11, 1947.
Al Nash supervised an efficient g r o j p of officers which provided the students w i t h interesting speakers and technical movies. Tours through industrial plants and research laboratories proved popular. The student section also
had a g r e a t deal to do w i t h organizing the first "Student-Senior Joint
Meeting."
The Society, along w i t h S.A.E. members from the University of Michigan
toured the University's pet laboratories. A n inspection of the Detroit Tank
Arsenal also took place.
The S.A.E. is not an organization interested solely in the manufacture of
automobiles. A t one time, however, i t was dedicated t o automotive production procedures but has now spread t o the aircraft and gasoline fields. Because
the three go hand-in-hand, they combined and are now under the same study
procedure in the society.
Since almost a classification of engineering position may be found in the
automotive, aeronautical, and fuels field, i t is to your advantage t o become
affiliated w i t h the S.A.E.
�The Lawrence Tech Varsity Club began its organization in the spring of 1938 by A t h letic Director Don Ridler.
The club was f i r s t composed of 1 10 letter winners w i t h Lou Jelch, football, basketball, and baseball letter winner, the first president.
Functions of the club include awarding letter sweaters; supervising Varsity sport affairs
such as Homecoming games, dances, and sports banquets.
Distributing Varsity identification cards and Varsity pins; and presenting awards to the graduating seniors.
To be eligible, a student must have won a Varsity letter from one Lawrence Tech A t h letic sport activity. He must also be accepted by the club as a whole, the membership committee, and the Athletic department. The student's personality, leadership ability, and
sportsmanlike conduct are the points considered.
A t present the club is composed of 85 members f r o m the sports provided at the college.
Total membership is 500.

The publication of a college annual requires the taking of a few pictures, a little writing
ability, a little bit of editing, and an awful lot of leg work.
Stan Kukawa and Burton Harrison took the pictures; Dick Larkins and Dick Sinko did the
writing; Harold Price did the editing; and everybody that we could beg, borrow, or beat over
the head, did the leg work.
Many members of the Senior Class who had nothing to do with the actual writing of the
book nevertheless had a major part of the work and responsibility for the publication of the
book. Gerard Burke, the president of the Senior Class, was of invaluable assistance in too
many ways to mention here. John Erickson collected much of the raw information until
illness in his family forced his retirement from the staff. Irene Salvatore designed our cover and Roy
Lewis did most of the interior art
work. Frank Moderacki, Ed Pawlak, John Gorman, and Ed Smolenski
did the departmental leg work; and
Wally Croll made the arrangements
with the printers.

�SPORTS—the realm of rah-rah boys and big wheels on campus; common
phrases used by those who haven't played the game, the non-participators.
But, what of the athletes and the games they played!
To those that played the game, the "rah-rah" isn't there but in its place are
memories and pride. Not so much of games won and lost but the pride in
knowing that they had the energy, stamina and that extra something to see
the game through. The pride that goes with wearing the varsity uniform and
being a "BLUE DEVIL IN ACTION."
The lessons learned through true competition in sports are invaluable lessons in the game of life and as the years slip by—look to the athlete for that
extra something, that spurt of energy. It will still be there—TILL THE VICTORY IS WON.

����Lawrence Tech's freshman basketball team went through
an eighteen game season without a defeat against the finest
competition that the athletic department could provide them.
In posting the first perfect season ever enjoyed by an LIT
frosh basketball team, the freshman beat four unbeaten
teams, three of whom finished their seasons with Lawrence
Tech administering their only defeat.
The fine offensive and airtight defensive play of the freshman squad served notice on the holdover varsity men that they
had best look to their laurels, because several of the members
of this freshman team are cinches to clinch regular positions
on next year's varsity.
The splendid showing of the freshman squad was a tremendous personal accomplishment for Freshman Coach Carl
Campbell, who was coaching his first year in collegiate competition. Carl was one of the all-time high scorers at LIT in
his playing days and he has definitely proven that he can make
the grade in the coaching profession. His team's work on
defense called forth praise from many rival coaches.
His team held high-scoring St. Stanislaus to 83 points in
two ball games, which is about what they were accustomed
to getting in one. The frosh journeyed to Buffalo to play
Niagara University's frosh and surprised the Easterners with
a 67-43 shellacking. Another outstanding upset was the win
over the Windsor Sterlings. This was a team that was good
enough to play the Harlem Globe-trotters.

It's an old saying, " T h e sophomore year of coaching is the hardest." To Coach Walt
Bazylewicz, this baseball season may well have been his hardest, but by no means the least
forgettable to himself or to Lawrence Tech. Bazy's squad compiled a record unequalled by
any previous Lawrence Tech nine, 14 wins against only five losses.
Early in the season. Coach Bazylewicz instilled in his team a w i l l to w i n , and w i n they
did. The veteran squad won nine straight games before losing to Hillsdale College on a
road trip.
Highlighting the season were wins over Bowling Green University, University of Toledo,
Findlay College, Ashland College and Defiance College; all good baseball schools.
The 14-5 record of the team is even more significant in view of the fact that the Blue
Devil squad played only four of the nineteen games on their home diamond. A n d inclement
weather necessitated all of the games being played w i t h i n a thirty-day period.

Lawrence Tech's fencing team enjoyed a very successful season, this year, winning five
out of six matches against some of the toughest competition in the middlewest. The team's
only loss was at the hands of Big Ten Champion, University of Illinois, by the close score of
141/2-121/2.
LIT won victories over the University of Cincinnati, Fenn College, Case Institute of
Technology, Tri-State College, and Highland Park Junior College.
The team climaxed the season by winning the Michigan Inter-Collegiate Fencing Championship over strong teams from Wayne University, University of Detroit, and other teams
throughout the state.
Five of the team members are lost to the squad via the graduation route. The greatest
loss will be the departure of Dick Yasenchak, one of the finest fencers in Lawrence Tech
history. Dick posted winning percentages for his bouts in all four years of competition and
in his final two years he amazed midwestern fencers, winning 38 bouts while losing only
one.
Louis Klei, one of the mainstays of the strong saber squad, receives his degree in June
along with Dick Stickley of the saber squad. Paul Engle, the best epee man on the squad,
is another loss which will be hard to fill. Tom Howell, another epee man rounds out the
list of graduates.
A t the close of the regular season, Dick Yasenchak and Leon Yulkowski fenced in both
the Regional and National Inter-Collegiate Tournaments and both carried off medals.

The Lawrence Tech Rifle Team is one of the most active organizations in the college.
It is a result of a student's idea that some means to obtain a school letter be made accessible
to night school students.
A notice appeared in the TECH NEWS in October 1937, stating that a meeting for the
formation of a rifle team w o u l d be held on the 17th of that month.
The rifle team was o f f i c i a l l y started w i t h 15 members. The Blue Devils hold shoulder

Lawrence Tech's tennis team woun(d up their 1950 season w i t h an even break for the
year, five wins against five losses. This is n o t quite up to the records posted by the teams
of the previous years, b u t the schedule was an ambitious one and the crippling loss to the
team of their number one singles man, John Landis, kept the team f r o m once again going
over the .500 mark.
This marked the f i f t h year for Coach Emig and he has seen his teams w i n 34 and lose
