• CAMt:lUS The Class of '49 took the bi­

focals off their rheumy old eyes, and started the weekend with a combined beach·library·barn dance on Thursday. Saddest tale of the atfair is that of Ridley Meyers, who was glared at by some Juniors on Th-ursday morn, and, interpreting this look to presage personal violence, precip­itously took off, sans books, log tables, or slide rule, to the Pasa­dena library. Fortunately, a good percentage of the CJass of '49 was up there, with books, etc., so he was able to scrounge enough ma­terial to spend the day snaking.

Madden was apprehended about the campus that morning, and soon found himself chained to the Senior Bench. Someone smuggled him a hack·saw blade in a cake, how.ever, and an hour or so later he was_ free.

John Heath truly spent an eventful weekend, and we hasten to chronicle it for our sympa­thetic readers. Sometime during the week he evidently moved from his palatial VCC suite in the Tunnel Annex to the head of the tunnel, for on the door there­to is screwed his name and VCC plate. Resting from the strain of moving, he got up Thursday morning, flushed his washbowl, and rushed ou t to the parking lot to start a 2G mile (one way) trip.

There he found that some van· daIs, dou btless taking him to be a senior, had removed the rear wheels to his automobile, leav­ing it resting on the vital parts of his differential. He stormed back into his house, Blacker, and heaped invective upon all those who would listen. He promised drastic action by both the pOlice department aud the UCC!

Frosh Sports Roundup By Leon Michaelsen

The home str etch. A short two days will bring to a close the athletic undertakings of Caltech's Class of 1952 in Frosh activities. Was it a great season? Was it one that merited a "I remem­ber when" after Little Beavers go out to meet the demands of the cruel, cruel world? Let us see. We sa.w no Glenn Davis in the Frosh eleven that ended without a win, nor did we see a hurricane in hardwood shoes to warrant the presence of a Phil­lips 66 scout. We were void of Ted Williams on the diamond; we find it impossible to find a unique personality on the swim team; Schroeder couldn't find his way open to join the tennis squad; and Mel Patton was too busy at USC to join our cinder pounders.

Then it must have been some­thing e lse that brought us a pair of crowns, two seconds and a third in conference battles. Couldn't it have been a bunch of beavers, a school of fish and a herd of rabbits that wanted to show that their Frosh class wasn't merely The Class of '52-merely the name that shows its inky self in the annual and fills space in a dusty registrar's rec­ord book. We think it was. With these things in mind, we, the Freshmen of Cal tech, find it hard to express a heart full of grati· tude to those who wan and lost so well that our class might live.

Hits The only consolation that

could be found was that the lads outhit their opponents for once. Pfeiffer, Patterson, and Petrulas all picked up two safe blows apiece. Everyone was hitting, but st ill eleven men were left on base. A couple of singles at the proper time would have given the Engineers an easy victory.

Lee A twir ler from Eagle Rock did

a swell job of coming through when the picture looked dark. Lee had a fine fast ball over which he had good control. He had little trouble fanning Engi· neers when he set his mind to the task.

Before the Saturday choke, the chances for a baseba ll cotitle looked very bright indeed. But a ll those hopes have now disap­peared to chan~es of a three way tie between Oxy, Redlands and Cal tech for a second place spot behind Whittier.

This can be your opportunity to get maximum resul ts from your college training-

1. If you believe amb ition and abil ity should determine your business and finan­cial progress.

2. If you want to enter a profession that has always paid top rewards.

s. If you want a job in a firmly established field, but onc in which a man with the will and ability to produce can become a Stl pervisor or sales manager in a matter of months.

Yes, it's true! These opportunities await college men in the Youngstown K itchen merchandising business-the business of supplying modern, white-enameled steel kitchens to the nation's hQmes.

GIANT NEW MARKET The demand for Youngstown Kitchens has accel­erated with tremendous speed. More than one and a half million men and women who have read our advertising in the national magazines have written us for more information about Youngstown Kitchens. More than a million have bought!

But actualiy, this is only a beginning. Twenty million home owners need a Youngstown Kitchen and can afford to buy. And there must be a ki tchen in every new dwelling unit built.

HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN The Youngstown Kitchen dealers across the country need men to be trained as merchan­dising experts. If you qualify, you will be asso­ciated with one of these "certified" dealers­probably in the city of your choice.

Your natural ability can payoff fast. You will receive what we believe to be the finest sales training available anywhere.

Here's a chance to get the kind of experience and training that ' put many of America's top flight executives where they are today. We know of no finer opportunity for college-trained men.
