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

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

�ANNUAL CHRISTMAS P A R T Y
T h i s year's S t u d e n t C o u n c i l Christmas Party was
c o o r d i n a t e d to be the best. Over seven h u n d r e d
persons a t t e n d e d the h o l i d a y event, more than
ever before i n the history of o u r Christmas Parties.
T h e decorations, activities, a n d g r o u j ) particip a t i o n were at t h e i r Y u l e t i d e best.
L o n g w i l l the laughs a n d joys of the Christmas
P a r t y r i n g i n the hearts of a l l those present on
December 5 t h . F r i e n d s h i p , love, togetherness
were they keynotes w h i c h made this year's party
the greatest yet.
T h e c h i l d r e n of S o u t h f i e l d w h i c h were present
aided the f r i e n d s h i p , because we felt that we were
s h a r i n g a l i t t l e b i t of o u r Christmas w i t h those
w h i c h h a d less a n d this created a c o m m o n bond
between m a n y . T h e b o n d was of course to forget
m i n o r disagreements to show the kids a good time.
dainty Miss receives an assist from Professor H . Williams,
[ead of the English Department, who sponsored a highly
iccessful cake walk.
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing . . ." began a medley of Yuletide arias bv the spirited crowd under the direction of
talented Dr. Edwin Graeffe.
�Pastel angels and delicate clouds were suspended
in the cafeteria to create a heavenly atmosphere
lor those taking advantage of free refreshments.
A tall, stately Christmas tree highlighted a ribboned area in which the cake walk was held. Several festive cakes and baked goods, as well as fruit
baskets, were prizes for appreciative winners.
Drum majors, dangling ornaments, and another
Christmas tree beckoned all to visit Santa Claus
in the Student Lounge. The Glee Club assisted
by Mr. and Mrs. Slaughterbeck and the visitors
(young and old alike) led by Dr. Graeffe sent
heavenly strains echoing throughout L . I . T .
Holly-decked corridors led guests to rooms of entertainment which featured a magician, puppets,
cartoons, and the f i l m , " M y Friend Flicka." A
huge Christmas tree and colorful wreath provided
a welcome setting to those entering t i e main
lobby
"Gee, Santa, this Christmas I want . . ." was the start of
hundreds of ardent desires which Santa patiently recorded
for his special night.
Officer Walter Wilson proved to a mammoth audience that
safety can be fun. Magic and audience participation were
used in his act to keynote the importance of safety to
everyone.
�SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS
Senior Class officers Donald Schmill, Sec.-Treas.; James Boeberitz. Pres.: and Carl Bouvier, Vice-Pres.: go over receipts of the Senior Dinner Dance.
Mr. Webster states that senior means "noting or
pertaining to the highest class or last year of the
course."
For some the last year seems to be the hardest to
attain but the men who have made it leave behind
them an impressive list of activities.
This year's senior class was one of the first to
throw a financially successful Frosh Fling and
J-Prom.
DAY SCHOOL
The men graduating this year have held high
positions on the Student Council: vice-president,
recording secretary, parliamentarian, publicity
chairman, homecoming chairman, and a total of
eight men serving the student body as representatives. Four members of the Senior Class have
served the L-Book staff—one being the assistant
editor.

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

stage to receive their diplomas they hope that
their leadership and activity w i l l lead the underclassmen to a stronger and closer k n i t student
body at Lawrence Institute of Technology.

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

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

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

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

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

In June 1959, P h i Kappa U p s i l o n became the f i r s t f r a t e r n i t y at L a w r e n c e T e c h to own a house. D u r i n g the past

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

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

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

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

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

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

Doctor Graeffe was one of a small group of
men, along with Dean Russell E. Lawrence, who
first recognized the need of establishing a new
engineering college. Through the years the college has grown from a small handful of students

carried him to various parts of the world.
This vast background of experience is interwoven into his many interesting lectures on accounting, economics, and business law. Having

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

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

During the second term, the Mechanical
Engineering Seniors constructed a furnace
for melting aluminum.
This was not just another project. It required extra work of all participating on
the project. Besides the regular class meetings,
Professor Levinson and the seniors,
donated their free time on Saturdays to
make this project a reality.

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

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

of increasing student interest in architecture by providing
extra-curricular activities for them. The club is a junior
chapter of the American Institute of Architecture, and all
members are entitled to its benefits. Many lectures, by
world renown architects, are sponsored each year by the
A.I.A., as well as banquets and business meetings promoting the advancement of the profession.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"To develop a high standard of naorals and character, encourage scholarship, and
develop honoi and loyalty among the students of the Alma M a t e r " is the purpose of
Rho Delta Phi Fraternity.
In early 1938 sixteen men realized the need for a new social fraternity.
W i t h the help of Dean Hendrickson they banded together to form the Alpha Chapter of Rho
Delta Phi Fraternity in November, -1938. Many hours into weeks were spent planning
and organizing the constitution, the pledge manual, and the pledge season. March 5,
1939, marked the official inception of Rho Delta Phi as fourteen charter members
received their pins and certificates. Later the Fraternity formed additional Beta and

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

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

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

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

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

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

W i t h the construction of Lawrence Institute of Technology and N o r t h l a n d i n this

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

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

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

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

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

One of the p r i m a r y functions of the council is to screen all pledge candidates for
scholarship requirements necessary for application to anyone of the five fraternities
on campus. Regulation of the opening dates of the rushing season are also controlled
by the council. D u r i n g the school year the social calendar dates of each fraternity are
supervised to discourage conflicts.
The Chairmanship of the council rotates annually and d u r i n g the past school year

those seniors who have been able to combine outstanding scholastic work w i t h active participation i n campus activities dur-
i n g their sojourn as an undergraduate at
Lawrence Institute of Technology.
These men are i n fact the campus leaders
and maintain the standards and ideals that
are the real base for a g r o w i n g college.

I n 1933, w i t h the help of Mr. Kenneth Mead, head
of the Physics Department at Lawrence Tech., the Epsilon chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon was founded.
Necessitated by the rather spontaneous g r o w t h of the
Epsilon chapter, a f r a t e r n i t y r o o m was constructed on
the f o u r t h floor of L . I . T . I n 1937, the purchase of a home
i n Highland Park, M i c h i g a n , permitted A . G . U . to become the first f r a t e r n i t y on campus to have quarters
separated f r o m the school. D u r i n g W o r l d W a r I I , the obligations concerning the chapter house became too great,
whereupon the Epsilon chapter sold the house and returned to the f o u r t h floor r o o m for meetings.
tives f r o m each f r a t e r n i t y assembled to discuss the d r a f t i n g
of a constitution. I n M a y of that year, the constitution
was passed and the I.F.C. became an official organization
of L . I . T . , largely t h r o u g h the efforts of A . G . U .
Last M a y , A l p h a Gamma Upsilon held it's 29th national convention i n F o r t Wayne, I n d i a n a . Festivities
included a song feast at the annual stag party, followed
i n the m o r n i n g by a b o w l i n g tournament, at which Epsilon chapter took honors for the t h i r d consecutive year.
A t 8:00 P . M . a convention ball was held, a prelude to
the climax of the convention which was a breakfast banquet held the next m o r n i n g .
Epsilon made the first step i n the f o r m a t i o n of an
Inter-Fraternity Council i n M a r c h of 1940. Representa-

Kappa P h i Sigma is the youngest f r a t e r n i t y on
campus. Since its inception i n January of 1951,
Kappa P h i Sigmas' development has been due to the
w a r m feelings of sincerity and congeniality that is
shared by all of the brothers.
campus life i n general. Since having the ability to
lead is of great importance to the engineer, we encourage the i n d i v i d u a l to accept this responsibility
placed upon h i m while he is a student at Lawrence
Tech.
The m a i n function of our f r a t e r n i t y is to provide
an environment f o r emotional adjustment and i n tellectual g r o w t h of the i n d i v i d u a l . To accomplish
emotional adjustment we encourage support of all

We are p r o u d of our accomplishments, but even

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

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

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

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