Dedication

Last year we dedicated our yearbook to CTC men in service. We said we missed you — •
we still do.

But this year it's a little different. The talk is more than furloughs, and letters. It's talk of
the time coming when we can say to you in person all that we want to say. It's the talk of the
time when we'll see everybody in the halls again — home for good.

There's hope in our talk this year — i:iope for all of you absent now from the main foyer, hope
for the happiness that your return means.

Then it's thank you — the thanks to you we can't put into letters or even adequately into a
dedication. Thanks for the tremendous job you're doing, which story you know so much better
than we because you're living and making it. Yet we do know, because the safe, hopeful world in
which we live is safe and hopeful only because of what you've done and are doing.

Let this Emblem be the voice of our thanks that we feel so deeply.

So over a coke or in a philosophy class, at a heated bull session or in a dreamy moment of
planning just how it'll be, it's still you, the missing cog in the CTC wheel.

That's why Emblem in 1945 is naturally yours.

Acting President

Com. John A. Bartky, Ph. D.

President (on Military leave)

Similar to the world at large, CTC is having its
instabilities. Changes in faculty were the primary is-
sues in 1944, while in 1945 the newly settled faculty
had to cope with a complete revision of the College
curriculum. The main differences in the present setup
has been to decrease specialization and make all
students general education majors. Still absent from
the College scene is Commander John A. Bartky
whose position as president was filled by James I.
Swearingen.

With the vacancy created in the psychology de-
partment when Clarence W. Gilford left on a sabbati-
cal, Leslie Quant took over his classes. Quant left
after the first semester to be succeeded by Helen
Bieker. W. Wilbur Hatfield's position as English chair-
man was filled by Alta M. Turk when Hatfield took a
leave of absence. Completing the short-staffed English,
science and social science divisions are Margaret
Kruewel, Paul Glenister and Harry Osterhart.

Resuming positions on the College faculty are
Mary F. Guilbault, Joseph J. Urbancek and Howard
Morse, of the education, math and art departments
respectively. Ralph Mansfield of the math department
and Marie L. Tierney of the home economics de-
partment, gave up their positions.

Replacement of the Chicago Schools Journal edi-
tor will be necessitated when Sophia C. Camenisch
retires at the end of the present school year. The
English department will feel the loss as well.

Wondering Seniors look back to 1 94 1 and try to figure out where the four years went. The
years started out calmly with the usual whirl of welcomes and the Dunes trip. Then came
December, all students and all the world stopped to hear that a state of war existed between
the United States and Japan.

(The class went on as before, with its five Sullivans, Dorothy, Ed, Jim, Mary Anne and
Peggy, and did little more spectacular than to have a dance which was a flop and four year
hangover.)

Sophomore year the war was much more evident to the class. One by one, the men
left school to add ASN or similar notation after their names. The big jolt came when all members
of the Enlisted Reserve Corps were called into service, soon to be followed by the Air Corps
Reserve. With this movement the ranks of the class were greatly depleted.

(Two years had gone and the class of '45 had two Sullivans left — two were now in khaki,
one had become Sister Joseph Andre, Mary Anne and Dorothy plugged along at school.)

Any graduate trying to recall his-her junior year at CTC gets at best a hazy picture. Prac-
tice and pre-practice, "We're not teaching subject matter, we're teaching kids" became the familar
slogan. Only special subject majors were left to carry on in classes on campus.

(Mary Anne became Mrs. Breen — and then there was one.)

Suddenly, its the last year. Seniors saw June coming faster than they ever dreamed it
could. Days flew and activities flew with them. Seniors became responsible in all organizations,
got their names in Tempo, found office holding more work than glory.

"Cokus Colus", senior variety show, sent the school into laughing fits. (One Sullivan sent
out graduation announcements.) Then graduation night was here. The picture was still incomplete.
All the graduates wait for their favorite day when their members in service file bock to finish
their desk work at 6800 S, Stewart.

Juniors

Someone once dubbed the Juniors, "The Class with the Outdoor Com-
plex". After the Promontory Picnic last year and a return outing at the Point
with the Freshmen this year and a moonlit hayride in October, no more
appropriate title could be applied.

With the onset of sleet and snow, the Juniors sought refuge for their
social activities indoors. The coed lounge housed the Christmas party at
which Juniors brushed up on their Christmas Carols and nursery rhymes.
The Harris Theater kept them warm while their blood ran cold at the murders
of "The Ten Little Indians". The nature loving class brought spring as well
as soldiers and sailors into the gym for their "Spring Spree", the class
dance.

Anticipating and getting well acquainted with the procedures surround-
ing graduation, the class bade farewell to the seniors at a luncheon given
in their honor. Final adieus were exchanged at the graduation at which
Juniors were hostesses and ushers.

Sophomores

Stealing in as Freshmen, a little late and as meek as lambs,
the Sophomore Class is destined to forge swiftly and leave as dynam-
ically as lions. The vivacious spirit of the class is illustrated by the
number and novelty of its activities.

Forming a welcoming committee for the Freshmen commenced
the semester's social whirl for these
energetic Sophs. Following this was
a Fall Frolic, War Bond Raffle, a Soph
Splash, and a Theater Party.

Obtaining for themselves the
title of "Innovators", the class intro-
duced a new form of social activity —
a Mothers' Tea. A dinner party at
Younkers succeeded by a dance at
the Sherman Hotel ended the semes-
ter's calenedar.

Freshmen

Bewildered — confused — wide-eyed

— chaotic — expectant — all these unite

to set the Freshmen scene, a scene that

had its formal beginning with examina-

ions and which will continue until our

Freshmen are confident and cocky sen-
iors.

With the usual hospitality, clubs and

organizations introduce themselves to the

Freshmen at introductory teas. Classes
did the same with the
Senior Barnyard Jamboree,
the Junior Promontory Pic-
nic, and Sophomore
Luncheon.

The Freshmen have in- '""""

itiated a new vogue in class representation. Instead of the usual procedure
of electing officers in the second semester, a block activities commissioner
and Student Council representative, who were chosen in their first semes-
ter, continued as officers for the year. The plan was not without its effect-
iveness as is shown by their successful activities: the autumn hayride;
Cupid's Capers, the Valentine dance, and a Splash Party.

After beginning the year with their usual orienta-
tion of freshmen, the first Thursday period of each
month was set aside for class meetings; the second
and fourth, for department club meetings; and the
third, for all-school assemblies.

In an attempt to coordinate the school organiza-
tions, a Coordinating Council composed of presidents
from each group, was set up. The activity calendar,
is an out-growth of this cooperative enterprise.

The year saw the dedication of a new service
plaque at an assembly to which the parents of CTC
servicemen and women were invited. Council Crawl,
fall dance and Fellowship-Council spring dance round-
ed out the season's social program.

Another newcomer to S.C. is the Service committee under
the leadership ol ALICE GREXA (1 to r) PAT SHEA,
KITTY O'CONNOR, FRAN DONNELLY. ALICE GREXA,
KATHY FLYNN, MARY GRACE KENNY and AVONELLE
BIRMINGHAM.

Formerly a duty of Student Council, the
work of Red Cross is being undertaken by
the newly organized College unit of the Chicago
Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Although all CTC students are automatically
members of the unit, some of the more active
participators spend every other Wednesday at
Gardiner General Hospital, v/hile other mem-
bers arranged for school support of Red Cross
activities. One of the first events launched was
the collection for the Pocket Book editions which
were sent to service hospitals and prisoners of
war camps. To obtain a contribution from each
student, was the goal of the successful War Fund
Drive held a few months later. At an assembly
for formal presentation of the charter, students
were asked to join various Red Cross agencies.
The semester's work ended with plans to have
practice students expand Red Cross activities
by promoting Junior Red Cross classes in the
elementary schools.

Keeping pace with the school, making a
permanent record of its accomplishments,
relating contemporary ideas to its students
and reporting news and events to our ser-
vicemen and women — that is Tempo.

The beat ot reporters' feet as they tear
around the campus imcovering news bits,
is the pulse of Tempo. Features give a
profile of CTC's personality, its character
and its ideologies.

Although most of our men are serving
with the armed forces. Tempo has attempt-
ed to keep them with through "Squads
Write". Not only are they kept with us, but
through this medium they are in contact
with their former classmates.

Also in the realm of social activities, was
the closing dinner at the end of the year at
which the retiring staff announced and
turned their duties over to their successors.

WAA

WAA Sports were managed by students
who devoted their time to specific activities.
Archery classes aimed for good form; bad-
minton teams vied for top places in tourna-
ments; CTC bowlers rolled their way to vic-
tory over UofC players; golfers swung a mean
club at a nearby course in intercollegiate
games; modern dancers donned their leotards
for a demonstration before PTS; Softball class
teams competed for title place; swimmers
splashed in meets with Mundelein, University
of Wisconsin and UofC; and netters volleyed
against Wheaton and North Central Colleges.

Following annual tradition, letters and rec-
ommendations were awarded at the WAA
banquet.

treasurer; EILEEN DONLAN, vice president and
MARY MALONE, secretary.

Commencing the activities of A.C.E. was the confer-
ence at Rock Island, Illinois. A candle-lighting ceremony-
was held at the traditional Christmas festival, Olga Adams
of the University of Chicago was guest speaker. In Janu-
ary, members became informed of the development of war
nurseries as a result of an informal talk given by the di-
rector of the War Nursery Department, Jean Livers. A
Silver Tea in April and a party at the Point in May, term-
inated an active and successfully executed semester.

In keeping with its aim to offer every
available means of bringing the latest
developments in science and mechanics
to each of its members, the Home Econ-
omics Club now cooperates with the Chi-
cago Household Arts Club and Home
Mechanics Club. Sensitive to the many
ways in which its organization could as-
sist in the war effort, members joined the
Red Cross in making Christmas gifts for
hospitalized servicemen. Candy and
cakes together with cards were sent to
servicemen at Gardiner. At the close of
the year, the club planned for the fare-
well banquet for the graduates.

Phi
illpha

Phi Alpha is no longer an organization exclusively for
music majors. If is now designed to enable its members
to enjoy music together. Opening the year's social ac-
tivities, Phi Alphs dined at the Normandy House. Teas
followed varied themes: a Christmas tea, a St. Patrick's
tea at which Esther Gilliland spoke on musical therapy,
and a formal spring tea at the Hamilton Hotel. Phi
Alpha climaxed the season with an assembly for the
school in May.

Phi Alpha officers, DOROTHY ANN WHITE, secretary; VASO
KREKAS, vice president; ELEANOR FEICHTINGER, president and
HELEN WHITEHEAD, treasurer decide on records for the next
program.

Exhibiting their talents first at an
assembly dedicating the honor pla-
que, CTC's all-girl choir has com-
pleted a full and successful year.
Following annual tradition, the choir
carolled through the halls and cli-
maxed the season at the Christmas
assembly program. Aside from per-
forming at various school affairs such
as the sophomore Mothers' Tea and
the spring program, the choir has
had numerous outside bookings.

The CTC Chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon, honorary math
fraternity, now meets with the College Math Club.

The outstanding event of the year was the annual
candlelighting initiation ceremony at which KME members
were inducted. Other activities included talks on the rela-
tion of science to mathematics, as well as the recreatory
possibilities of the subject. Then the club went Oriental
and played "Nim". A picnic in May concluded a success-
ful year's calendar.

In view of curriculum changes, the
need for modification of the fraternity's
constitution was deemed necessary. Re-
sulting increased membership, has widen-
ed the scope of the organization's activi-
ties. Hearing Paul Glenister at a promon-
tory dinner; making a behind the scenes
tour of the Museum of Natural History;
and listening to Dr. Charles Olmstead at
a February dinner were a few of the
many activities that culminated in a din-
ner for graduates.
