�DEDICATION
"There are, generally speaking, two kinds of students and, therefore, eventually, graduates; on the
one hand, those who do just enough to get by, and, on the other hand, those who do more than the
minimum required".
Earl W. Pellerin, architect, and head of the architectural engineering department since the founding
of Lawrence Institute of Technology in 1932, unceasingly expounds to students the above axiom.
Certainly, in his own life, Mr. Pellerin early realized the consequence of that axiom.
His extensive
studies and travels in the interest of his selected profession; his wonderful execution of ecclesiastical,
residential, educational, and commercial buildings; his awards in architectural competitions; his many
varied other activities and ofFicerships of organizations, all are evidence of a continuous, untiring effort
to "do more than the minimum required".
But to those of us who are close to Mr. Pellerin, we are mostly impressed by his wanting to do his best
for the student.
Long, late hours are kept in the classrooms, at the meetings of the architectural
groups, in creating projects for the school, and in helping students solve their varied difficulties.
You have shown us, the Class of 1953, for these several years the merits of working dexterously for
good things, Mr. Pellerin. You have taught us the rewards that con be ours for "doing more than the
minimum required".
As we prepare to leave our beloved Lawrence Tech, we see the challenge offered by the world. Those
of us who possess what you teach will respond, meet the challenge, and do our best for a better world.
In appreciation for your great efforts and accomplishments in educating us, we, the graduating class
of 1953 humbly dedicate this yearbook to you, a great educator, a great architect, and a great man.
Earl W. Pellerin.

However, what really has transpired in these
What changes have been experienced?
A poem by Rudyard Kipling, entitled IF, enumerates some of the prerequisites to becoming a mature individual.
Each of these is a hurdle that must be surmounted by all. To instill these require-
ments into their students is the aspiration of all institutions of higher learning.
Lawrence Tech has realized this aspiration!
Our short stay here has shown us how to meet our
challenges unflinchingly and with determination to see them through. What was our gain? Simply
this; we have become men and can confidently say, "Ours is the Earth and all that is in it".

IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting, too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting.
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies.
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master;
If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet triumph and disaster
and treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truths you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools.
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can talk to crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty second's worth of distance run—
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
and—which is more—you'll be a Man, my Son!
Rudyard Kipling
�Lawrence Tech is now entering the third decade of its existence. This is true because a courageous man of high ideals realized that a school was needed which would
teach not only the theoretical aspects of engineering but would give the student an
opportunity to see the practical side of this wide and essential field. During these
twenty-one years since its founding, the"phrase "Theory and Practice" has become a
byword of Lawrence Institute of Technology.
The man was Russell Ellsworth Lawrence. The year was 1932, the depth of the
economic depression. Determination and extreme belief in his convictions no doubt
motivated this man to found a school when almost all economic and educational
activity was dormant. Surrounded by a group of men whose ideas paralleled his.
Dean Lawrence embarked on the long road of recognition and renown.
The early years were extremely difficult. Hours were long and compensation small
If at all forthcoming. Gradually, as the need for this type of institution was realized,
enrollment took an upward swing. New courses were offered, the faculty was increased, and new and better laboratory facilities were made available.
Three short years after the founding, in 1935, Russell E. Lawrence was suddenly
stricken and passed on. The loss was keenly felt but his job was finished; the future of
Lawrence Tech had been assured.
Very few of the graduates of this institution have had the honor of knowing Dean
Lawrence personally, but all have been profoundly influenced by his ideals and
philosophy. His is a lasting monument; the Lawrence Institute of Technology.

���A number of years have gone by since a group of students v/ere adorned
with the distinguishing beanie of a Freshman at Lawrence Institute of Technology.
Now a portion of this original group are about to become Bachelors of Science in various fields.
The mortality rate of this class has been unusually high. This was probably
due in part to the unsettled world situation and the selective service. Some
succumbed to the lure of high wages of industry; still others found the
curriculum too difficult. At any rate, many who started did not finish.
Much credit is due those who make up the Class of '53, therefore, the following section is devoted as a standing monument to their achievements.
These men are members of a select group chosen by the age old method
devised by nature; the survival of the fittest.
Humanity will take note of
these men in the future for their place in the world will be a noted one.

Twice a year the Electrical Engineering Department arrages a tour through a branch of the electrical industry to show
the student how his "book learning" is applied. The place chosen most frequently is the Nela Park experimental laboratories of General Electric in Cleveland. Because of its many exhibits and interesting experimental projects, the Nela Park
trip never wants for participants as evidenced by the above picture.

FIRST GRADUATING CLASS
OF THE
INDUSTRIAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
The Technical Institute was founded three years a g o to meet the ever increasing demand for technically trained personnel.
The programs offered closely parallel the engineering college curricula but more emphasis is placed on
applied and practical, rather than theoretical study.
The technician's job is a vocation requiring skillful application of a high degree of specialized knowledge together
with a broad understanding of operational procedures.
It requires sound judgment under diverse and sometimes
adverse situations and frequently leads to supervisory positions.
The Technical Institute offers the following courses and the graduates are a w a r d e d a diploma of an Associate Engineer in these fields: Automotive Technology, Building Construction Technology, Electrical and Electronic Tech.,
Industrial Supervision Tech., Mechanical Tech., Production Tool Design Tech., and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology.
On the following pages are pictured the men who successfully completed the Institute's curriculum.
They comprise
the first graduating class of ITI and on their shoulders lies the task of establishing a good reputation for their alma
mater.
In future years, the Technical Institute will no d o u b t be as well known in its field as Lawrence Tech is in engi-
neering circles.

�STRICTLY CANDID
When this book is picked up in years to come and the graduate looks at
the portraits of the professors in the various departments, he will in all
probability remember these men only as the calculus, the mechanisms, or
the thermo prof he had as a senior. Most of the distinctive mannerisms,
witticisms, and facial expressions that make the difFerence between the
man in the portrait and the very definite personality this man is will be
forgotten.
The purpose of this feature is to capture and present the expressions and
actions of some of these men as seen through the eyes of a student.
The yearbook staff, in printing this feature, hopes to repay these men in
some measure for the small portion of their personality that leaves with
each graduate. We hope to do this by rekindling their memories in the
mind and heart of each graduate that opens this book.

cabbage cold in the refrigerator.
����SENIOR STAG
The Senior Stag is the last get-together of the Seniors before each
goes his way after graduation. A
dinner, entertainment by instructors, and an evening of beer and
cards usually makes up the program.
Arrangements for the Stag were
made this year by Chairman Jerry
Roll and President Gerry Larson.
Attendance was heavy and an enjoyable evening was spent by all.
With the help of the pictures on
the following pages it is hoped
that the '53 Senior Stag will long
be remembered.
Mr. Erneman and Mr. Pellerin congratulated the graduates on their
accomplishment.
�Mr. Rackway and "Doc" Graeffe
entertained with some of their very
humorous stories.
���COLLEGE DAZE
The names of Gropp, Wasek, and Lewis have become quite familiar at LIT. Cartoons
that these men so proficiently drew have appeared in the Tech News at regular intervals
and have added much to the general good feeling around the campus. In this respect
we, the students, have been rather fortunate.
So that some of these gems of college life would not be lost, the L-Book staff made
use of the Tech News morgue and picked out the best cartoons that were printed during
the years of our undergraduate work. They are presented on these three pages to
remind thfe owner of this book of his gay college days.
�"No, Penelope, I MUST do my homework"
"Of all the fools! I had 8 7 % until I took it back to
Prof. Menzel to check a correction!"
"Beely." "Here!" "Boswell." "Here!" "Colder."
"Here!" "Chipsom." "Here!" "Drane." "Here!"
"Humphrey." 'Here!"
"Hey, Pinetop! Wonder where Bagby goes during
our tests? Not that I mind, of course . . .!"
"Wait a minute, will ya!! Prof. Menzel wants these
drawings in by tomorrow!"
�"There, there, there . . . the hell with Thermodynamics"
"The soup's cold, Bentley! You want a hamburger instead?'

takes the form of an open house or an all school picnic.
Sports tournaments
sponsored by the Athletic Department are eagerly awaited and the school
band offers an interesting diversion from study for musical students.
Among the more technical lines the professional societies are numbered.
SAE, SAM, CES, and ACS with their technical and dinner meetings offer
many chances for social contact.
In this group are also found the "EE"
Club, Soaring Society, the Math Club, and the Architectural Club.
For students that are politically inclined, the student council and class officer
groups are made to order.
These organizations make up the student
government.
Not to be forgotten as a dominant source of social activity are the fraternities.
Since there are five such organizations on campus, they warrant a
section of their own which will be found further in this annual.
�JUNIOR PROM
According to tradition, the biggest affair of the school year
at Lawrence Tech is the J-Prom. In keeping with this precedent, the Junior Class of '53 outdid themselves in putting over the best J-Prom anyone could remember.
It was held at the beautiful Latin Quarter and the
swing and sway was supplied by Don Bari and
Orchestra.
A surprisingly large attendance made the
Prom a lively one indeed and a date
hard to forget. During the intermission
President Lawrence presented Lambda lota Tau and Alumni Achievement awards to deserving men.

As with all affairs of this type, much preliminary work must be done in order to insure success. Advertising,
tickets, and favors had to be prepared. A good band and a nice location were of prime importance.
Credits for these jobs go to the following men of the J-Prom Committee: Gordon Gerlitz and Jerry Roll,
Publicity; Norm Hallman and Wallace Hansen, Tickets; Robert Harrison and Stan Kukawka, Favors; and Stan Kedzior, Band.

�MACARTHUR Visits LAWRENCE TECH
The Lawrence Tech campus was g r e a t l y honored
in the spring of 1952 by a visit f r o m the g r e a t general a n d national hero, Douglas MacArthur.
A large c r o w d was on hand to welcome the general a n d gave him a loud ovation after his short
speech.
The school was decorated in a regal fashion with
a huge Ame r ic an f l a g d r a p e d over the front a n d a
large sign r e a d i n g " W e l c o m e General M a c A r t h u r " .
��GOV. WILLIAMS SPEAKS
At the June 1952 commencement exercises the principal speaker was the Governor of the State of
Michigan, G. Mennen Williams. His interesting talk was accepted with enthusiasm by the graduates as
well as by the relatives and friends present.
Just before President E. G. Lawrence conferred degrees on the graduating class, he presented the
Governor with the mantle of an Honorary Doctor of Humanities.
�Founder's Day Picnic
Founder's Day chairman, Jerry Roll, made himself
very popular by distributing the food and drinks.
Observance of Founder's Day took on a different form this
year. Instead of the usual display type open house affair, a

FRESHMAN INITIATION
The years of 1952 and '53 saw a revival of a custom that became dormant during
the years when ex-GI's were a predominant element in the school enrollment. This
custom is the traditional "Frosh" Initiation.
With an unusually active Sophomore Class as the administrators, Lawrence Tech
witnessed the most hilarious initiation of many a year.
This fall the Frosh were identified by certain distinguishing marks. They wore the
time-honored beany, a name card, and had their right pant leg rolled up to the knee.
Their duties were to show respect to the upperclassmen, to carry matches for cigarettes,
and to have a supply of nickels for the coke and candy machines.
On Friday of Frosh Hell Week a Kangaroo Court convened to deal with breaches
of the Sophomore Law. Each accused Frosh was defended by one of his peers and
prosecuted by a Sophomore. If the verdict of the jury was "Guilty", the defense
attorney shared in the sentence of the Frosh defendant, this being his punishment for
not presenting a convincing case.
The sentences meted out by the court and the results thereof can be seen in the
pictures on the following pages.

�HOMECOMING
AND
BUILDING FUND DRIVE
This year Lawrence Tech's Homecoming was combined with the building fund program. This fund raising drive, under the direction of Don
Ridler, was started several weeks before in an effort to raise $25,000
for the new school. A raffle was the means chosen to raise this amount
and the drive was to be culminated on Homecoming night. So a basketball game, dance and raffle drawing were on the agenda for this event.
First on the program was Lawrence Tech vs. Hamline, a fast moving
game ending in victory for the Blue Devils by a score of 74 to 56. This
victory was followed by dancing to Ralph Marteri's orchestra and intermission entertainment by the Ravens, a well known quartet.
At midnight, all gathered around the bandstand as Mr. C. M. Bauervic,
of Arlington Motors, drew the lucky tickets that made 25 winners very
happy.
Displays were put up by the active organizations on campus for the
benefit of the alumni and others present. Much special efFort was put
forth which proved very rewarding since the affair was a huge success
and the anticipated amount for the building fund was exceeded.
�PRE-DRIVE RALLY
The day before the building fund drive started a
series of rallies was held in the cafeteria to acquaint
the students with the facts and to get them into a
selling spirit.
Some spoke, many listened. Here is some of what
was said. "Pops" Fahey—"Now I'll tell you how to
sell these raffle tickets; hit them in groups." "Doc"
Graeffe—"I'll flunk any student who doesn't sell at
least one book." Jerry Roll—"We need this new
school so get out and push." Don Ridler—"Let's all
get behind this one hundred percent." Hal Haupt—
"Someday you'll be proud to point and say, that's
our new school—the big one over there."

���Dance
Band
The fall of 1952 saw the resumption of an activity that was
discontinued during the last W o r l d W a r along with most of
Lawrence Tech's extra curricular activities. The reorganization
was the idea of E. D. Hancock, an EE department professor. He
put out a call for musically inclined students and the result was
the formation of an easy to listen to dance bond.
The pictures shown on these pages were taken during rehearsals in the student lounge. Regretfully, a sound track cannot be included, however, these men promise to be a familiar
sight a t many of Tech's dances.
BANDMASTER E. D. HANCOCK
Strains of well known dance tunes echoed through the halls when the full band sat in rehearsal.
��The Student Council officers are Jack Korb, corresponding secretary. Jack Nicholson,

STUDENT COUNCIL
Student government at Lawrence Tech is evidenced by the working of the Student
Council. The bimonthly meetings serve as a sounding board for student and organizational problems. During the past school year the Council has been headed by
President Jerry Roll.
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 liaison with the Administration to be
successful. The 1952-53 Council has chosen Mr. Hurst Wulf, of the Mathematics Department, as the Faculty Advisor. Mr. Wulf's comments and suggestions hove proven
invaluable when important issues had to be ruled on.
The committee chairmen are Hal Haupt,
social, Larry Kiselas, election, Donald McKinley, activity awards and election, Dick
Marshall, Founders Day, and Jerry Larson,
Lambda lota Tau.

�L-BOOK
The purpose of an annual is to record the activities and
events of a certain year pictorially. The 1953 L-Book
staff decided that the best way to achieve this goal was
through the printing of an extra large book with many
large and comprehensive pictures and a minimum of copy.
It is our opinion that this "fruit of our labors" has served
its intended purpose quite well. However, you, the reader,
are the final judge.
Because of the ability of the men on the staff few were
needed. Art work the cover design was done by Bill Mullaly; the financial end was handled by George Hanovich. Bob Harrison and John Turchan did most of the layout in their respective sections and pics were supplied by
Stan Kukawka and his Speed Graphic. Planning and layout was done by mutual assent, and thus the 1953 L-Book
came to be.

CLUB
The Architectural Club is a student branch of the Detroit Chapter,
American Institute of Architects. The purpose of this organization
is to stimulate and develop the interest in archiecture of each individual member, through active participation.
Architecture Club activities are many and varied. They are open
to everyone interested in architecture and include lectures and exhibitions. Activities open to members only include monthly A.I.A.
lectures and field trips to places of architectural interest in the
Greater Detroit area as v/ell as throughout the nation.
The Club's contribution to the Homecoming Display testifies to its
activity and proficiency. The centerpiece of the display was a
scale model of the proposed new campus. The model was located
in a setting of a modernistic room and was surrounded by Architecture Club officers are Secretary Richard Pierron, Vice-president people throughout the evening. Aerial views of the campus

MATH
CLUB
On the 27th of May 1952, twenty-four students and three
faculty members met in the Student Lounge to ratify and
sign the Constitution of the Math Club. This event culminated five months of organization and planning under
the chairmanship of Richard Marshall and the guidance of
Professors Bagby, Nace, and Haire.
The organization was founded for two purposes: to provide the means for carrying the study of mathematics
further than the regular curricular program; and to promote a greater interest in mathematics throughout the
school.
The activities of the past year have consisted of monthly
meetings highlighted by reports given by student members
and speeches given by members of Lawrence Tech's
faculty. The meetings have all been quite interesting and
the members have gained much knowledge about the history of mathematics and about those subjects of mathematics that are covered only slightly in the college texts.
The Math Club officers are Nathaniel Carr, vice-president, and
Richard Marshall, president. Mr. H. Nace acts
as the Faculty Advisor.
In the future the Math Club intends to bring in guest
speakers from other colleges and from industry, and to
obtain motion pictures for school-wide meetings.
Also
slated for the future is an award program for graduating
seniors who have been outstanding in their work in mathematics during their college career.
�SOCIETY FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF
MANAGEMENT
Today, students; tomorrow, leaders in industry. This prospective outlook
applies to all Lawrence Tech students. The Society for the Advancement of
Management constantly strives toward the fulfillment of this goal.
The LIT student chapter of S. A. M. was founded four years ago and since its
inception has helped spread the benefiis of scientific management.
This year in particular, students have ben attending meetings held by the
Detroit Chapter of S. A. M. at the Rackham Memorial Building. The 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 through "Theory and Practice".
S.A.M. ofFicers are night school Vice-president Jesse Filak, Secretary Bill
Walters, President Ernie Kostyo, Treasurer Donald Payne, and day school Vice president, Wallace Hansen.
SOARING SOCIETY
Earl last fall six LIT students undertook the project of reorganizing the Soaring Society. With the help and counseling of
Professor G. P. Martin, the Society advisor, materials were obtained and the construction of the fuselage was begun.
Lawrence Tech has been known throughout the past years for
its aeronautical achievements. These included the building of
several sailplanes and the racing plane, "Chappy". The members of the new Soaring Society are determined to live up to the
noteworthy precedent that has been set.
Along with being a hard working group the members of the
Soaring Society are also quite philosophical. They have chosen
for their motto the old and truthful saying, "Keep thou thy flying
speed lest the earth come up and smite thee."
Gathered around the framework of their sailplane are the
Soaring Society ofFicers. They are Vice-chairman Gerald Larson,
Chairman Kenneth Kuhn, Recording Secretary James Lepley,
Treasurer Richard Gray, Secretary Harold DeMink, and Membership Chairman Kent DuPont.
�SOCIETY OF
AUTOMOTIVE
ENGINEERS
The Student Group of the Society of Automotive Engineers is by far t
largest group of its kind on campus. To odd to this distinction, it is als
recognized as the second largest Student Group of the SAE in the natioi
This organization was founded in 1938 and under the able direction oj
the Faculty Advisor, Dr. Gail Brewington, has accomplished much.
Activities of the group include field trips, guest speakers from industry
and joint meetings with the senior chapter. In these classifications wen
included a trip to the Ferguson Tractor Plant, a speaker on jet engine
from Chrysler, and a dinner-meeting at the Ford Motor Co. In the fall o
1952 the Senior Chapter sponsored a model engine contest. The problen
was to rebuild a two-cycle mode! engine for maximum rpm. The engira
entered by the LIT group placed fourth in a field of six.
SAE officers ore: Secretary Roger Brown, Chairman Howard Lang,
Treasurer George Dzenzel, and Assistant Chairman
Dave Reichard.
��It would seem that no other college activities bring out the school spirit and
enthusiasm in a student as much as varsity sports.
The keen spirit of
amateur competition transplants the spectator into the uniformed figures on
the playing area and so inspired the team often tastes the sweet fruit of
victory.
At Lawrence Tech basketball is king of all the varsity sports.
The Blue
Devils are well known throughout the nation and have held many enviable
season records.
Fencing and Tennis share the second place honors.
The LIT swordsmen
held the State Championship in past years and fared quite well this past
season.
The tennis team promises a full season with a crew of veteran
netters taking to the courts.
As Lawrence Tech grows in size new varsity sports will no doubt be added.
Following the example of the netters, fencers, and cagers, these new athletes will assuredly bring more honor to "Dear o l ' LIT".

����TENNIS TEAM
Among the active varsity sports at LIT is numbered the Tennis Team, or as
they are more commonly called, the Racketeers.
The Tennis Team v/os reorganized several years ago by Ralph Emig, an
active participant of the game during his student days at Lav/rence Tech. Up
until 1952, Mr. Emig also coached the team and attained the enviable record of
45 wins and 33 losses.
Last year the job of coach and captain was given to John Dean, Mr. Emig
being on leave. With only two men left from the previous squad, John went
to work and whipped up a noteworthy team. Some of the better known netters
these Tech men we;e matched against this season were Adrian, Tri State,
Bowling Green, and Ohio Northern.
An experienced team will take to the courts next season since all but one
man will return. Because of this an overwhelming balance for LIT is expected
in the win and loss column.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL
The Interfraternity Council is composed of two representatives from each fraternity
and was organized to deal with mutual fraternity problems. The main function of the
IFC is to establish rules and dates for rushing, pledge mixers, and pledging.
Chairmanship of the council rotates annually and during the last school year Henry
Lybeck of Alpha Gamma Upsilon served in this capacity. Jim Lepley of Kappa Sigma
Kappa served as Secretary.
An interfraternity picnic was the big social event sponsored by the IFC this last year.
Camp Dearborn was the chosen site and the excellent sport and picnic facilities were
put to good use by fraternity members, their families, and friends. Some of the scenes
of this affair were captured on film and appear on the following pages.
In conjunction with the fund raising program for the new school the IFC put up a
trophy for the fraternity that raised the most money through the sales of rafFle and dance
tickets. This trophy was presented to Kappa Phi Sigma by Chairman Henry Lybeck on
the night of February 14th. The KPS members edged out Kappa Sigma Kappa by only
a small margin and Rho Delta Phi placed a close third. Without a doubt, the part the
fraternities of Lawrence Tech played in the Building Fund Drive did much to make the
drive a success and bring the new campus closer to reality.
LAMBDA
IOTA
TAU
The Lambda lota Tau Honor A w a r d was instituted by Dean
Russell Lawrence in 1934, only two years after he founded
Lawrence Tech. These awards have been made annually
to deserving men since that time and have become the
most coveted of all keys.
Students who stand out in academic work are not too unusual, nor are those who lead in campus organizations. The
unusual is achieved when students can combine both successfuly. It was the contention of Dean Lawrence that this
latter group should have recognition. This feature of combining scholarship with extra-curricular activity makes the
Lambda lota Tau Honor Fraternity unique among honor organizations.
Looking over a candidate's qualifications are Lambda lota Tau committee members
Wallace Hansen, Chairman Gerald Larson, and Jack Nicholson.

�ALPHA
GAMMA
UPSILON
In 1933, with the help of Mr. Kenneth Mead, head of the Physics Department at Lawrence Tech, the Epsilon chapter
of Alpha Gamma Upsilon was founded. Epsilon grew rapidly in size and in September of 1934 a fraternity room
was built on the 4th floor. In the summer of 1937 a house was purchased in Highland Park and AGU became the
first fraternity on campus to own a house. In 1942, however the obligations concerning the chapter house became
too great. The house was sold and Epsilon again reverted to the 4th floor room for meetings.
Epsilon made the first step in the formation of an Inter-fraternity Council in March of 1940. A letter was sent to
each fraternity on the campus and a meeting was held at the Epsilon house. In May of that year, the constitution
was passed and the IFC became an official organization of LIT largely through the efforts of AGU.
On the second evening in May the members and alumni from eleven Alpha Gamma Upsilon chapters were the guests
of Epsilon for the climax to the 1952 social season—the twenty-seventh National Convention. .The kickoff for this
three day event at the Tuller Hotel was a tremendous stag party. The following morning the team from Epsilon
emerged victorious from the fraternity wide bowling tournament. That evening at the Ball in the Arabian Room,
Jerry Dauth of lota chapter reigned as queen over a court of nine other chapter sweethearts. At the banquet on the
third day, Epsilon was the recipient of the hard earned bowling trophy.
The AGU officers are House Counselor Carl Ortolf, President Ralph Klann, Pledgemaster

SIGMA
Kappa Phi Sigma is the youngest fraternity on the campus. Since its inception in January 1951, Kappa Phi Sigma
has grown to more than four times its original size. This development is due to the warm feelings of sincerity and
congeniality that is shared by all of the brothers. The main functions of Kappa Phi Sigma are to provide the bonds
of true brotherhood for men who desire to be more than "just friends", and to provide a wholesome extra-curricular
program.
in the field of campus activity. Kappa Phi Sigma has become outstanding. The fraternity was awarded the RED
CROSS Blood Drive Trophy and the Intramural Basketball Trophy in two school-wide competitions. In other phases
of campus life, Kappa Phi's have been elected to positions of honor and leadership.
The past year has seen Kappa Phi Sigma conduct two very successful pledge sessions, and maintain a full social calendar. The highlights of the social season have been—the annual Halloween Party, New Year's party, two Barbeques
and two Dinner Dances held at Tassie Tavern.
We, of the Kappa Phi Sigma, ore especially proud of maintaining the association of our alumni brothers. W e find
the renewal of brotherhood at social events very stimulating.
With the coming of commencement. Kappa Phi Sigma will lose many of its active members. To these men, we bid
farewell, and may your future hold in reality that which is in your dreams today.

DELTA
PHI
"To develop a high standard of morals and character, encourage scholarship, and develop honor and loyalty among the students
of the Alma Mater" is the purpose of Rho Delta Phi Fraternity.
Rho Delta Phi was chartered at Lawrence Tech and incorporated under the laws of the State of Michigan in March of 1939. Since
that time it has expanded into three active chapters. Alpha representing night school. Beta representing day school, and Alpha
Omega, boasting a membership of over 200, representing the alumni. A Supreme Council, composed of representatives of all
chapters. Is the coordinating body of the fraternity.
Activities of RDP ore many and varied. The fall pledge season of Beta began with a pledge mixer at the home of Bob Harrison.
Alpha held theirs at the home of Harold Veitch. The following week fourteen "Brats" embarked on the strenuous rood to membership. During this period a hayride-weiner roost was held. Alpha sponsored a dinner-dance, and Alpha Omega held a Stag Party.
All pledges survived the informal initiation and were present at the Presentation Dinner at Huyler's L'Aiglon to receive their pins
and certificates. With the subservience of pledgeship over, the new members challenged the old members to a bosktboll game
and in retaliation for the discomforts endured beat them decisively.
Nine men began wearing the tie and pledge pin of Rho Delta Phi Fraternity after the spring pledge mixer held at the home of Rod
Sambrook. Besides the usual ceremonies, the spring schedule will include a golf meet at Belle Isle at which these pledges will serve
as caddies. This pledge season will be climaxed with the annual Presentation Dinner-Dance.
Beta chapter officers are President Richard Mitchell, Vice-president James Butera, Secretary Stan Kukawka, and Treasurer Bill Mullaly.
�The Alpha chapter officers are Treasurer Ed Priebe, Corresponding Secretary
Bob Priebe, President Harold Veitch, and Vice-President George Gravilla.
Not pictured is Recording Secretary Robert Stuart.
����The Homecoming exhibit this year was the idea of Bob Harrison.
Bill Mullaly drew up the plans and engineered the project. The whole
membership pitched in on the construction and the result was the best
looking exhibit at Homecoming. The "Future" section featured the
proposed floor plan and perspective of the Rho Delta Phi fraternity
House. This was the work and design of Don Schaening.
��Other activities included intramural as well as intrafraternity
basketball and stag parties.

FISHERBODY takes the occasion to offer congratulations and best wishes to
this year's graduates of Lawrence Tech.
A great many of you have put i n years of hard w o r k to prepare
for a career i n engineering—and now you are ready for opportunity.
yourselves
M a y we suggest that you give particular thought to the wealth of opportunities to be found i n our highly diversified engineering operations.
Fisher Body is one of the world's greatest employers of engineers—and, because
of its far-reaching plans for the future, Fisher Body has a vital interest i n capable
young engineers.
W e can extend to you opportunities to meet your ambitions, i n the fields of product engineering, production engineering, experimental engineering, mechanical engineering, research and related fields.
For young men w i t h sound training, initiative and imagination, advancement
comes more rapidly at Fisher Body than w i t h many organizations—because the
extent and complexity of the various engineering programs require the services of
many executive engineers. I t is a long-standing policy of Fisher Body to build its
executive staff f r o m w i t h i n its own organization.
Then, too, since Fisher Body is a division of General Motors, you benefit by the
generous policies of the Corporation designed for the well-being and security of a l l

Fisher Body wishes each of you the greatest success i n your plans for the future
—and invites you to schedule an interview w i t h Fisher Body as the first step i n working out your plans.

�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
Could he but see the new buildings as they rise from the beautiful countryside o n
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.

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."
�SENIOR STAG
Seen above, left to right, are "THE PLANNERS". George Dritsas, Bob Black,

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.
President Lawrence says just a few words.
Dr. E. O. Graeffe expounds his philosophy on
the Seniors.

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
News.

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,

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

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

continue to be one of the outstanding events
on the Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity social

wanders aimlessly through life as does a ship at sea without a

��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.

Our college annual, the L Book, is published annually to honor the graduating seniors and to f o r m a record of the school's activities. T h i s year the Senior Class chose
James Saunders as Editor-in-Chief. W i t h
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".
��HOMECOMING
The Homecoming game was played against Washington & Jefferson.

The Rho Delta Phi marching band entertained during half time.
A f t e r the game the m a j o r i t y of those present adjourned to
the A g r i c u l t u r a l B u i l d i n g where they danced and viewed the
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

��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
T a u H o n o r Fraternity.
The Administration, Faculty, and the Student Body owe these men a vote of thanks
. . . their efforts provide the base for a growing college.
T h e Lambda Iota T a u committee members are
Jack Korb and Jack Nickelson.

��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

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.

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,

�REGISTRATION
HERE IS WHERE you receive your I.B.M. registration cards.
With the introduction of the new
and modern International Business
Machine methods of student registration speed and accuracy of class
scheduling are foremost. Put into
operation by Mr. Hobson and his
assistants the students now pick up
cards for each class they wish to
enroll.
After choosing their schedule
from the Registration Issue of the
TECH NEWS a n d p r o c e e d i n g
through the card table the students
then are interviewed by members
of the faculty who check and
double check their programs and
pre-requisites. In this w a y the sections are filled with a predetermined number.
The cards when processed by the
I.B.M. equipment provide the professor with a complete list of
students for each class that he is
teaching.
THE FACULTY ASSISTS the student with his class scheduling.
The long wait for the report
cards at the end of each term is no
longer a months wait but is reduced in time to that of only t w o
days from the time the faculty turn
in their grades to the registrar.

��"FROSH
INITIATION"
To the new freshmen entering college, the day is
filled with golden opportunities. The opportunity of
attending classes and gaining k n o w l e d g e that he
never k n e w e x i s t e d . A
large part of "going to
college" is the attitude that
the new student has towards the activities which
are provided for him by
the more initiated students
of Lawrence Tech.
O n c e each y e a r t h e
Sophomore class members
provide the Freshmen with
a chance to be of service
to every student in the college. During Freshmen Initiation W e e k , or b e t t e r
known as "hell week", the
freshie is directed to do
certain acts w h i c h must
measure up to the requirements of the upper classmen.
If the frosh takes the attitude of not caring he is
sure to end up as one of
those students who carries
with him only a degree in
his respective engineering
major. But if the new student can take the experiences of i n i t i a t i o n cjnd
pledging a fraternity with
a sense of humor he has
gained much in the knowledge of getting along with
his fellow men.
In any event there is
more to "going to college"
than attending classes and
religiously d o i n g h o m e work. A large part of "going to college" is getting a
well rounded education in
human nature.
Of course all this extracurricular fun is taken in
good stead and usually
turns out for the best if not
slightly well worn.

CLASSES
and
GROUPS
To make college life of real
value, learning must be achieved
in the classrooms. But at Lawrence
Tech, faculty and students know
that college life begins, in many
instances, in the halls, offices, and
multiple outside activities that
make these years the happiest in
our lives.
We find out how to use it.

ADMINISTRATION
One of the advantages gained in attending a smaller
college is the close association that is developed between
the student and the administration. Here at Lawrence Tech
we are especially proud of our record in this field.
MISS GENEVIEVE DOOLEY, Registrar
President Lawrence has extended his open door policy
throughout the college and the student knows that his
problems, whether personal or not, will be handled with
care and understanding. We, of the graduating class, have
made many lasting friendships with the administration and
feel that this association
appreciatively.

�SENIOR
STAG
A college loses most of its value if it does not have
several individual traditions to make it unique among
the number of institutions of higher learning in the
United States. At L.I.T., one of the things each senior
looks forward to is the date, during the last term of
his college life, that is set aside for the SENIOR STAG.
As the following pages show, this is the time when
the administration, faculty, and seniors let their hair
down in a night of fun, friendship, and frolic. It's one
night that none of us will ever forget.

�INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL
The Interfraternity Council is composed of representatives
of all four fraternities and acts as a forum for the discussion of mutual problems. The two main functions of the
council are to establish uniform pledge seasons and to
maintain a standard scholastic level for all pledges. The
council also regulates the social calender of the fraternities
in conjunction with the Student Council.
The two social ativities sponsored by the I.F.C. are the
annual Interfraternity Dance and the Founder's Day Dance.
The Chairmanship of the council rotates annually and
during the past school year John Belavich of Rho Delta
Phi acted as Chairman and Clark Stuart of Phi Kappa
Upsilon was Secretary-Treasurer.

Kappa Sigma Kappa, a national fraternity, is represented at L.l.T. by the Michigan Beta Chapter. The
fraternity had its origin at the Virginia Military Institute shortly after the Civil War. At first the fraternity was
extended only to southern colleges and universities but has since expanded on an international scale.
The outstanding social event of the past school year was the "Sweetheart Ball". This gala event was held
at the Veteran's Memorial in the Grand Ballroom. Formal initiations took place at the Leland Hotel and the
Van Dyke Club. "Operation Skitski", an all pledge function, was held at Plewa Hall. The annual spring outing
was staged at Homestead Park.
The Kappa Sig national convention met at Indianapolis and was attended by several Beta members.

�15100 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Michigan
�'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.

they know it all now but are willing to wait two more years; and finally, the
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

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.

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.

found in the SAE, the

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.

�This year's L-Book staff was fortunate in having two very fine photographers in the persons of William
Harrison and Stan Kukawa,
Between the two, they shot over ninety
percent of the informal shots appearing in the book.

�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
to shoulder matches w i t h big name colleges t h r o u g h o u t the United States.
During the past year Robert Dean was Captain of the team assisted by Lew Alward as
team Manager.

The pistol team is one of the newer sports offered to Tech students who wish to compete in inter-collegiate competition.
Willie Wilhelm and Lew Alward have undertaken the job of building up a team that
can represent the school both in postal matches and field matches.
During the past year the pistol team fired a series of postal matches and traveled to
Chicago for the Midwest Pistol Shoot.

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
22 over the five year span.
