Seniors Close College Career

JUNE 1947 brings to a close one of the greatest years in Drex- el's history. The year has witnessed the retiim of countless w ar veterans, a record-breaking influx of freshmen, the return to pre-war social affairs, the home-stretch of the W ar Memorial Drive, and the promise of a tremendous increase in athletic and technical facilities.

The graduating class this year will comprise students who first walked through the Great Court as freshmen a s far back as 1939 and as recently as 1944. There w as a wonderful feeling of anticipation as each term w as passed successfully but as the final lap approached the thrill of anticipation w aned and those who completed their undergraduate work prior to the Spring term were returning in increasing nimibers to visit with faculty and student friends. The Drexel we come back to visit will still have the sam e friendly atm osphere, but will be enriched by the improvement of its physical property—improvements fostered by undergraduates with an eye to the future.

Starting tomorrow night and continuing through next week. Seniors will dance, dine and laugh together for the last time— for the last time as UNDERGRADUATES. Seniors rebel against losing friends they have come to know and love during their college days—it's only hum an. But there is a w ay to counteract the seemingly inevitable situation—by becoming an active member of the ALUMNI Association. The 1947 graduating class is the largest in the history of the Institute. This is the one grand opportunity you have for continuing lasting friendships, by becoming an integral part of the organization which bands together all graduates of Drexel.

To the departing seniors we wish the Best of Luck a n d ------May the happiest days of your past Be the saddest days of your future.

^ a le b ic to r2 >And so ends another hectic school year at happy, frantic, social

DrexeJ Tech. We b id a fond farewell to all you gay students as you t roop ofl to Somer’s Point for a summer of rest and relaxat ion. W e bi*l an especially fond farewell to those of you who leave to re tu rn iH) more. You have served out your sentence at Tech, and may well m utte r “ Deo gratias” between your teeth as you depart . Good luck to you, and would God it were us rather than you. May you carry through life fond memories of these ivy-covered walls and the rolling greensward which is our campus. You scoff? Well, if you lay on the lawn at the Trees, you will notice a definite roll. T he trees and bui ld ings seem to be ro ll ing too, but try to ignore them.

It has indeed been a busy year at Tech:IT EM —Our athletic teams have maintained on the field our u n

Letters to the EditorTo the Editor of the T r i a n g l e .Dear Sir:

The purpose of this letter is to clarify our stand as to athletic policies and to inform the student body of our aims. We of the Varsity Club have but one goal—the ul timate im provement of athletics at Drexel. The issue is not a m at ter of personalit ies but ra ther a matter of general op in ion.

The lack of coordination between the var ious elements of the athletic departments is quite evident. The cause seems to be a failure to dete r mine responsibi li ty—it is due to this lack of responsibil ity that the male student body has such a poor athletic program offered to it. We are not only striving for improvement of in tercollegiate athletics but also we are attempting to br ing about a decided improvement in the physical educa tion offered to the general student body.

We realize that those men not en gaging in intercollegiate sports need an organized program whereby they can learn the basic fundamentals of the num erous sports. Is this being done u nder the present physical ed u cation set-up?

Then too there is the prob lem of equipment avai lable to the male s tu dents. How many times have groups of men gone to the gymnasium to play basketbal l and been unable to get a ball to play with? These men may well ask the quest ion, “W here does our student athletic and activities fee go?” We realize that the majori ty of the male student body are veterans and do not quest ion this as it is the government’s money that is being used. Regardless, something should be done to eliminate this sore spot. We have approached the Director of Athletics on this issue and be has said that the responsibility lies with the coaching staff—what then are the duties of the Director of Athletics?

CHESTERFIELD•A Student's Epistle.

Dear Mom,Well, Mom. I 'm back again! I still haven’t gotten over the swell tini< ;•

I had at home during Memoria l Day week-end. Gosh, but you sure can * cook. Mom!

You know, I feel a lot better now after that man to man talk I had wiili Pop. It sure surprised me how much Pop learned since I left home especially about women. Boy, he real ly gave me the low-down. (I thought those stories you told me when I was a kid sounded k ind of far-fetched—nô ^I know!) I see now where I ’ve been missing out on a lot of fun on m dates. Watch my smoke now, Mom!

They had something called “ Inst itute Day” at the school this past Tuesday V and it sure was a disappoin tment to me. Someone told me that they wen* | going to give out prizes to the students so I went in to try my luck at winninn | a couple of bucks. I thought it was going to be some k ind of a quiz program ' like they have on the radio where they ask quest ions like, “What are the two main reasons for Jane Russel l’s success?” or “ Guess, to the nearest thousand, how many queens have been elected at Drexel dur ing the past year,” or something like that, and I was just bubbl ing over with answers. But gup-s what. Mom? It was a frame-up! The ones who got the prizes were already picked beforehand and most of them were the same ones who were seen walking around the school these past few m onths with a piece of wood hanging from their necks. I don ’t know the reason beh in d the lumber, hut they sure looked silly. Boy, they won’t fool me next year when Institute Day rolls, around again- -Fll have the snappiest piece of mahogany you ever saw dangling from my neck with neon lights, too.

Seeing as how next week is exam week and I ’ll be hom e the following P week, this will be the last letter I ’ll be wri ting to you before I see you. I puei ŝ i t’s just as well, too, because I ’m so far behind in niy work I shouldn’t even ? he taking time out to write this let ter.

This week the seniors took the i r finals and next week they graduate— ■ providing, of course, that the exams of this week have met with everyhody't, approval . I saw one engineering senior just yesterday figuring vigorou>l> on the back of one of the marble statues and all of a sudden he let out a shr iek of delight and collapsed on the floor with a look of disbelief ail over his pan. I looked at his scratchings on the sta tue and down at the bottom, under lined and in ink with a square a round it was the n u m b er 65.2. 1 didn't quite catch the importance of this num ber , but it sure had upset this h

This prolific em ploym ent situat ion pnictically stems from all the country’s industrial centers . The placement MTvices at Drexel disclose that the h i ' ti tu te’s g raduates are being favored vviih nu m ero u s desi rable proposals Iroiii both large and small industries.Kiigiiieers are classified in the great- f.t demand bracket, but Business A d ministra tion and Secretarial students iire meeting with l it tle or no difficulty ill finding su itable posi tions for them- -fives. Graduates of both the adniin- i-lrative secretaria l and two-year secretarial courses a re being presented uilh the amazing n u m b er of 4 or 5 individual posi t ion offers! All of these proposals are stemming from employ- iT> that are central ly located. The f’raduates of the business teacher course are being prov ided with ample |lo^itions. bu t not all are deemed -iiitahie because of their ra ther die- t:itit location.

The placement offices at Drexel are designed so as to coordinate in d u s try’s dem ands for labor with the IKirticular desi res of each graduat ing 'Indent. T h e m em bers of the gradu- .iling classes are interviewed, and their (|iialifications, range, and subjective proposals a re thus dete rmined. This interview, coupled with a un ique reference scheme, facilitates personal contact with perspect ive employers.

Every spr ing num erous indust r ies and commercial establ ishments, over an extensive area, are invited to send representatives to Drexel for the p u r pose of in te rv iewing employees. This year, with the p rodigious demand by industry fo r college material, m ore llian 75 no ted companies have met >Nith m em bers of the 1947 graduating• lass. Some of the greater firms come to Drexel, no t only for technical men, hut for accountants and business trained pe rsons as well. T he Drexel placement officers handle all such cases jo in t ly—an d thus “ kill two birds witli one s tone.”

Because the 1947 college graduate i' somewhat o lder than the average >enior of m o re n o rm a l years, m any companies r e q u ir in g graduate students liave found the i r needs unfulfilled.-Many g raduates do no t have the t ime lo spend on the pe rusa l of advanced "o rk in schools. As a solution to tills incurred p rob lem , t ra in ing pro- iiianis have been extensively fo rm ed throughout the industr ia l world . By lliis system, a college student, with a four-year d ip lom a only, is in it ia ted into a posi t ion by being vir tually tiained in the j o b ’s specialties. The employee receives a m in im u m wage timing this pe r io d which usually t e r minates af te r six months. The aver- I'iie wage for the technica l m an centers about S225 pe r m o n th during the liaining p rogram .

The average wage being offered to l^iexel eng ineer ing graduates at I'lesent fluctuates be tween S225 and

pe r m on th . As a beginning 'Hilary, Business A dm inis tra t ion posi- >i"ns are re la t ively less. T he wage " ‘lurally varies with the size, class,

policy of the employing industry.Without a doubt , the technically lined pe rson is in the greatest de-

Larry Surnian with a batting average of l.UOU—that’s a joke son! . . . Jean Stagg is tak ing bets on the outcome of the season in the American League.

She felt them d ropp ing slowly.Lower and lower they fell.

The curls in her upsweep hairdo.Sure looked like hell.

Notice: During the last Lacrosse game in which Big George played, his stock d isappeared . The lacrosse stock is pretty well covered with tape. Brownie has had it for a long while and it means a lot to him. If anyone hui> taken it by mistake, will he or she re tu rn it e i ther to ( ieorge or the Tkianci.e office.

Alright Bowen, tha t ’s your cue; “Oh, d id she sing to o ? ” , . . and then there ’s Kraber who said. “ Did I finish my accounting! Humph.

Those of you who saw Humoresque will r em em ber the beautiful music played throughout the picture . The musical direc tor, Franz Waxnian, created violin solo pieces out of such famous works as Bizet’s Carmen and Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde. The music that Jo h n Garfield appeared to be playing on the screen was recorded by a young violinis t, Isaac Stern. Columbia has reproduced this music with the same musicians, including Oscar Levant accompanying on the p iano and Franz W'axman leading a s tudio orchestra.Vocal Varieties

Frankie bounces / Believe with the former Tommy Dorsey arranger, Alex Stordahl, conduct ing the orchestra. T h e arrangement is tops and Mr. Sinatra shows he knows what to do with his voice on a rhy thm num ber.

That old Gene Krupa tenor sax num. Sam Donahue, has recorded a “ m ood” number . T he oldie, I Never K neu\ is taken at a “ m ood to be woo’d” pace and has a pleasing vocal by Bill Lockewood.

On May 28, the Beta Chapte r of Pi Nu lipsilon, the new national h o n o r ary musical fraternity at Drexel, was installed.

The fraternity originated at Il linois Inst itu te of Technology. Mr. DeWit t H. Pickens, national president , t rav e lled from Chicago to Drexel to in i t i ate our sixteen charter m embers. It was organized exclusively for techni cal schools that include n o m a jo r course in music in their curr iculum.

Drexel has the honor of having the second chapter of this organizat ion and the s ingular honor of init iat ing the first women into the fraternity .

Pi Nu Epsilon is not an exclusive organizat ion, but an honora ry society in the strictest sense of the term.

T he chief aim of the fra te rn ity is to fu r ther musical work among the students at Drexel. The requ irem en ts for m em bersh ip in this society a re :

(a) An outstanding con tr ibu t ion to some field of music,

(2» Two years service with any musical organizat ion here at Drexel, and

(3) A scholastic average that is above general student average.

The sixteen charter m em bers who meet these requirements a re : Miles Wil lard, president ; Dott ie Bates; Elsie C routhanie l ; Wil liam Schultz ; W arren S impon; Norman B leshm an ; A nne Rist ine; Rae G arb er ; Olga M ichalcewich ; Patric ia Jackson ; Vilnia Liacourse; W alter Ph i l l ip s ; Irv ing D u n lap ; Jean K e l le r ; Salvator Curfagno; and Earl Uram.

Mr. Heaton was unanimously voted into the fra ternity as the first h o n o r ary m em b er of the Drexel chapter.

One evening in Octo lnr when 1 was far from sober.

And dragging home a load with a manly pride.

My feet began to stutter.So I lay doHn in the gutter.And a pig came up and parked right

by my side.Then I warbled “ It’s fair weather

when good fellows get together,” Till a lady passing by was heard to

say,“You can tell a man who boozes by

walked awny!

Mrs. Alden >sas ijuite pleased with the ad>ancement Thi has niaile in estahlishing itself on PrexeTs campus as one of the youngest sororities of l>re\el. All Theta Sigs wish to thank Mrs. Alden, with deep- e>t grati tude and thankii for he r as- si>tance to C'.hi.

Saturday, the 25th, was a lounging day for most of the Theta#, except the oflicers, >sho were luuler the guid ing ham! of Mrs. Alden. T he weather man was kind enough to give the Theta Sigs a bit of tan. That evening we hail a >»eenie roast for our dates. \ \ e sure did enjoy the nielodious voices of two of the dates who en te r tained. Thanks boy si Terry Inargraf , our president, led us in singing Theta >ongs, and did a tine job too.

Sumlay the Thetas ga>e the seniors a d inner party. Kach senior received a pair of sterling silver earrings from her sisters. Thanks to \ ivian Mills for her clever ide.i of pepperm in t dishes. Thev served the ir purpose well.

Thanks to Jane Colson and Helen I 'u n k leb e rg er for providing us with the best food that could possibly be had. Can you imagine having a baked, juicy ham, diced potatoes, and peas as the main dish? T h en to top it all, we had cherry tarts with a dab of whippet! cream for dessert.
