�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.

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

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.

Mr. Hobson, Faculty Advisor, and Rudy Gengenbach, Editor, are pictured above viewing
the cover of the '54 L-BOOK.
"Who took the glue?" "Where did our blue marking pencil go?" "Hank, give Bill the grad copy for
proof-reading on Thursday, eh?" "Hey Rudy, you got
a minute? How do you want this page laid out?"
"Now Eric, I know you didn't get to bed until four last
night but I need those game pics by next Tuesday and
the grad pics for tomorrow." "No Murph, we need
more money than that." "Could you boys be quiet up
there, please?" "Come on, you guys, next Wednesday
is the deadline." All this noise and confusion could be
heard coming from the balcony of the library. As the
end of March approached, the disturbances became
louder and more regular and when the book was
finally put to bed, studying could once more be continued in the library.
It was through this noise and contusion, caused by
engineers turning to journalism, that the publication of
this annual was made possible. These same engineers,
the stafF of the 1954 "I" Book, wish to take this opportunity to thank all concerned for their cooperation and
patience.

As chairman of the building fund he must
make many time consuming interviev/s.
Even so in
his "spare time", he has managed to put on tv/o fine
dances for the student body.
The dances were finan-

our undefeated season to 14 games.

The whole squad was up for this one and we piled
up 92 points while Creighton tallied only 81. This

score being 49 to 60. This week-end had two defeats for us as did the last for the following night St.
Francis had "show-time" against us as they taught us
�the fundamentals of a tight press. But being good
sports, they let us down lightly with a 62 to 88 defeat, for they too had revenge for a previous setback.

One week later we were in Kansas City, Missouri
for the National Association of Intercollegiate Ath�letic Tournament where they played a competent Carroll College quintet to a very close victory. Carroll led the Blue Devils throughout the game until the

seven quick points, with the help of his teammates,

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

From funds
raised by the fraternity in their monetary

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

beginning
Ever stop to t h i n k what the w o r l d was l i k e
before electricity became everybody's servant? It's difficult to picture! Electric p o w e i
serves so faithfully we just take it for granted.
Edison's incandescent lamp, h e r a l d i n g the birth o f
modern electric service, finally became- more <than a
dream 75 years ago. T o help turn this dream i n t o
reality, other men provided the finances Edison needed.
Their joint achievement is an example o f h o w financial
risk-taking and i n d i v i d u a l ingenuity cooibine ^to the
benefit of a l l people.
But our' present way of l i v i n g is o n l y the beginning.
Electricity promises for the future still greater marvels
and better service.
It requires men and women w i t h many skills to provide
this service. I f you w o u l d like to w o r k w i t h such people
why not get i n touch w i t h Edison's Employment Office?

�Man must have faith and a goal to strive for. Otherwise, he
wanders aimlessly through life as does a ship at sea without a
navigator.
And as he works toward his goal, he should look at the objects
about him with a critical eye. There is nothing in existence that
cannot be improved. Every modern convenience we use today
was the dream of some dissatisfied person yesterday.
