E. D. Lynton -G--

H. T. Mann, '08, gave a ta'k b",lore the Boston Section of the American Ins:itu:e oj Mining and Me:allurgical Engineers at the Harvard Faculty Club in Ja naury . The subject of Dr. Mann's talk was " The Return of the Forty·five to the Southwest· ern Petroleum Fields," and under this title h e gave first·hand information reo garding recent changes in the deve·op. ment and production of p9rtoleum. Chief among the points meniioned was the use of 45·caliber bullets for perfora ,ing well casing. Other subjects covered were di· rectional drilling, chemical methods of sealing off wa ter in wells, submerged elec tric pumps, new discoveries, aCId the economics of proration. -0--

James N. McGirl '22, who is now an independent oil operator, caught sight of the Mining Depar tment bus during the in· spection trip at Rodessa by Petroleum En· gineers, and made himself acquainted with the representatives of M. S. M. , Pro· fessor Miles and S tephenson. -G--

Members of the Class of '37, specializ· ing in petroleum have accepted jobs as follows: R. D. Grimm, Phillips Petroleum; R. C. Lange, Phillips Petroleum; O. K. Holman, The Texas Company; 1. W. Mil· lard, Uni :ed Gas System, and Wilbern T. Moore, S:ano:ind Oil and G::xs Company. -0--

James P. Sloss, '35, has resigned from the staff of Combined Metals Reduction Co., Stockton, Utah, and has accepted a position as ge~logist with W. C. McBride, Incorporated. He will work out of the company's San Antonio, Texas, District Office, which is in the Milam Bldg.

A practical lab::>ratory method of orienting well cores by their magnetic polarity was first developed by the Standard Oil Company of California's Res earch Department early in 1928 . The procedure is designed to determine the original orientation in the ground of cores obtained in the ordinary rotary system of oil we'l drilling. This is accomplished by identifying the north and south sides of a core, after it has been brought to the surface, through residual magnetic polarity in the heavy minerals of the rock. The writer describes the theory and the various steps in developing this idea from the original experimental machine to the commercial one, which is self-recording by photographing the deflections of a light beam. In conjunction with this magnetic core orienter there has been deve'ope-:i a deviation corrector. D:rections of d'p obtained from samples cored from cr::>oked holes were worked out as apparent dips and strikes. An instrument, known as a deviation corrector, has been deSigned to correct rapidly the apparent dip to the true dip, whenever the direction and degree of dip of the hole at the dep th from which the core came are known. The instrument and mathematical computations are fully described in this paper. -G--

H. E. Minor, now Chief Geologist in Houston for Gulf Oil Corporation, looks back on Quarter of Century. -G--

In 23 years with Gulf Oil Corporation and two with Sinclair Prairie Oil Company, H. E. Minor can look back upon a quarter of a century of close association with the oil industry in Texas, which be· gan in the boom days of the old fields such as Edgerly, Goose Creek and B:ue Ridge . A 1910 graduate of the Missouri School of Mines, he went to Colorad::> where h e was city engineer of Canyon Ci:y and county surveyor of F reemont County. The year 1914 foun d him doing geological and engineering work for Gulf Oil Corporation in Tampico, Mexico. Less than a year later, the Gulf sent him by mule team and wagon into West Texas, where he did some of the first geological work in that section of the s tate. By 1915, he was statione-:i in the Gulf's Beaumont office, scouting the Edgerly fiel d . It was here and in that same year that Minor began the first water analysis work ever done in the Gulf Coast. In conjunction with sub-surface geology, water analysis was used for correlation purposes. At this time there were no core b::nrels or special bits for taking cores. The few geologists working the Gulf Coast were forced to rely on cuttings and bit samples for their information. One of the methods in vogue was to ball-up the bit. come out of the ho~e, and take the sample from the bit. In an attempt to remedy this situation , Minor designed one of the first coring devices used in the Gulf Coast. This was a box bolted onto the bit with a blade projecting past the bit at one side. When the bit was rotated, the blade scrap ed the sides of the hole, filling the box with a .sample. In the follOWing year, 1916, Minor de· signed a special bit which was used to core the soft sands at Blue Ridge . These two early attempts at securing cores, among the first in the Gulf Coast, were followed closely by other major companies who saw the advantage in this type of sample. In 1920, Minor left the Gu'f to do geological work for the Sinclair Oil & Gas Company, now Sinclair Prairie Oil Company. By 1922, he was back with the Gulf, where he has remained. He is now chief geo'ogist of the Houston district. Minor has published four pape:s per· taining to Gulf Coas t oil fieles: "Chemical Relation of Sa't Dome Waters, " 1925; " The Edgerly Oil Field, Louisiana," 1925; "Oil Fie'd Wa ters of the Gulf COClS:al Plain," 1934; and "Th e East Texas Oil Fie 'd," 19 33 . This last pap er was writ ten with Marcus A. Hanna, chief p::xleontologist of the Gulf Company. All the papers were published b y the American Association of Petroleum Enginee:s .

St. Pat's '37

St. Pat's '17

The twenty-ninth annual St. Pat's celebration has come and gone. but 'tis sure its ending leaves naught but a warm spot in the hearts of all studen:s. damsels, and guests- who convene:! from all points within the state, and many from points without, to aid in doing homage to the Patron Saint of Engineers, S:. Patrick (and incidentally to have a wha'e of a time themselves). The Miners had control of the e lements this year. Be:lUtiful spring weather favored their cause as many a stroliing couple traversed the walks of M. S. M. in inspection tours of the campus between events of the social program. The festivities were officially opened by the Independents, whose dance in the trans:ormed Jackling Gym from 8 till 12 was featured by the music of Chan Chandler. Triangle, Kappa S:gma, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Pi carried the torch from there to Pennant Tavern. Here the merry Miners and their lady friends extended their evening of delight until the wee hours of the morning. Earl La Boube furnished the rhythm from 12 until 2. at which time Chan Chandler, sponsered by Pi Kappa Alpha, Theta Kappa Pi, A lpha Lambda Tau , and Lambda Chi Alpha again took up the ba ton. Friday afternoon at 2:00 p. m. into Rolla came the venerable Saint himself (R. C. Tittle) riding on a handcar. Accompanied by pages Karter and Stojeba and guards Mussell .and Curivan, S t. Pat s~ipped into the Miners' morsel of modern machinery, Lumon Long's chariot, pnd was away to Parker Hall foJ:owed by a noisy assemblage of cars. Here, in the auditorium, the annual address and knighting ceremonies took place. Friday eve was frolicing time as one and all burst asunder bonds of scholastic restraint to dance, laugh, and otherwise have one good time at the Masque Ball. Dick Jurgen's, outdOing even his most flattering advance notices, was the perfect host. Time and again he satisfied the admiring Miners and their dates, playing aJ the numbers that were reques:ed. Promptly at twelve the floor was cleared and the coronation of the queen, Miss Mildred Brown, occurred. Amidst a solemn hush St. Pat Tittel, transferred the crown from oft the old queen, Miss Jean CampbelL to the brow of his new sovereign lady . Then, after some pic:ures were snapped, St. Pat escorted his new queen from the throne and there was a continued intermission until 1 o'clock. The dancing resumed again then and the ball continued until far into the morn . Saturday afternoon from 2:30 till 5:00 the Sigma Nu Chapter House was the scene of . a tea dance. Chan Chandler once again furnished the music for the happy couples. Came Saturday night and with it came the Formal Ball. Anything that followed the Masque Ball can be considered only anti-climax. but spirits were still on high and remained thus until the last strains of music were drifting through Jackling Gym and the Miners knew that St. Pat's was o'er. - M;ne r.

Friday morning. March 16, 1917, was celebrated instead of Saturday, as the festivities would have run over into Sunday, so St. Pat decided to do the right thing. The weather was not the on~y thing that looked bad for the S t. Pat costumes did not arrive until noon of Friday, thus compelling the parade that was scheduled for 8:30 a. m., to be put off until 1:30 p. m. The para:!e formed at the School of Mines and came down Pine Street thence north to the Frisco depot where it met St. Pat's special train amid the shouts and cheers of an immense throng who were present to meet the Worthy Irish Knight. St. Pat with his advisers and pages at once mounted the chariot that had been provide:! for them, and taking his place at the head of the parade led by Grand Marshal Maness, proceeded across the railroad tracks on 8th s:reet to Pine street, then back on Pine to the School of Mines campus. A throne had been erected in front of Norwood Hall, and from this eminence St. Pat delivered his annual address to his "fai thful followers", the engineers, of whom he is the patron saint. St. Patrick was typica:ly represented by H. Smith Clark and in this capacity he was ably suppor ted by F. H. Geib and E. O. Stoner as advi~ers, and H. Aid and George Clayton as pages. The para:!e was composed of seventeen floats, each and all caricaturing college life and things ridicu~ous, many of which were amusing a::td interes:ing. St. Pat, on moun:ing his throne in front of Norwood Hall, contrary to custom of sending his scou:s out to bring forth the b ,arney s 'one, app:ied the acid tes t, producing the s:one out of water, owing to the advanced methods of chemis:ry. Before the sacred s 'one the s:udent body was ordere:! to Kow Tow. Following his address, in which he p:linted out the evil and commended the good to his subjec ts, r.e clubbed and created the following members of the Senior Class as Knights of S t. Patrick, and awarded then their diplomas as such: H. A. Ambler, E. L. Arnold, J. A. Barton, J. H. Bock, M. F. Bowles, J. S. Brown, T. R. Crawford, R. Dale, P. B. Dolman, R. D. Cooper, F. L. Eames, G. E. Ebmeyer, F. S. Elfre:!. A. C. Fernandez, D. Greenburg, W. Guest, Wm . Kahlbaum, K. W. Heimberger, H. T. HeriveL R. C. Henschel, C. W . Hippard, H. A. Horner, F. D. James, H. A. Kluge, M. C. Lucky, C. E. Muelhberg. J. R. Nevin, R. F. Pape, C. A. Peterson, J. G. Reilly, L. R. Scheurer, J. C. Raibe ' , H. J. Schiermeyer. F. P. Shayes, J. J. Shipley, R. O. Shriver. H. J. Teas, J. K. Walsh. T. P . F . Walsh. E. J. Weimer, G. B. Wilson . In addition, honorary degrees of St. Patrick were conferred upon Edward Kahlbaum, N. C. Hutsinpillar, H. L. Wheeler, J. W. Cap:es. After the knighting the large crowd has tened to Parker Ha lL where a minstrel show was given, which was unusually good, all performers being s cars. In the evening a grand masque b::IiI was given in the Jack.ing Gym which was beautifully festooned 'with green and white ribbon paper, presenting a very

enhancing effect. At one o'clock Cicardi's orchestra of St. Louis, started the first of their excellent dance music and the dancing began. St. Pat at this jU:lcture took his position on the throne in the north end of the halL and then the Queen, (Miss O :ive Scott) escorted by Messrs. Mellow a:ld Goldman, with Miss He:en Underwood and Gladys Lorts as trainbearers, took h er p:ace on the throne. and was crowned St. Patrick's Queen for 1917, after which the dancers Kow Towed to her command. The grand march was played with Mr. Goldman and Miss Girlie Campbell as leaders. -Rolla New Era. -0-

MSM Review of Sports for Winte r and Spring -0--

By Compton -0-

BASKETBALL Probably the best way to discuss the past basketball season, which from the Miner viewpoint was a failure, is to talk about the M. I. A. A. as a whole . In conference p'ay the Miners won but two games, both from Kirksville, and as the result finished in filth p:ace, ahead of the Bulldogs. Warrensburg won the loop crown by winning all the games on their schedule, annexing the Eag that Cape G:rardeau had won the previous year. As in the past the M. I. A . A. produced three teams that are practically unbeatable in the midwes~. "Not only were the Warrensburg Mules the s~rongest team in the State, but they were also the tallest. averaging about 6 fe et 4 inches in h eight. Night after night their wirlwind attack swept the opposing quints off their respective feet. The Cape Girardeau team was probab'y the better coached than any in the loop, but the Indians failed to s~op the Mules. The other outstanding quintet was the Maryville Bearca>s, who wound up the season in third place. The Bearcats sported a 6 foot 7 inch lad, who will probably develop into an excellent center in another year. Getting back to home - the Miners defeated the Central Wesleyan team for their third victory of the season. Besides lOSing to four of the five conference SChOOlS, the Silver and Gold team -lost to Drury and St. Louis University twice. However as dark as the season now looks, a brighter prospect is in ;'iew, 'as several freshmen broke into· the regular lineups thru the sch edule, and from a ll appearances next year's team will not be a stepping stone for the conference. Charles (Buddyf Clayton, a member of the squad for the past three years, h as been elected to captain next year's aggregation, and along with such players as Jim Wilson, Herb Kamper and Vic Spalding, should give a good account of themselves. The other lettermen are: Dewitt Timberman, Keith Miller, Joe Strawhun and Joe Carroll, all of whom are back next year. Bob Lange and William Busch are the two graduating seniors. TRACK The track season proved to be quite a success this Spring, not in winning of meets alone, but in the deve:opment of several freshmen who will , in all probability, bring honors to MSM in the next two years. The Miners hit the .500 mark in dual competition this year, winning from Drury and Westminster and losing to St. Louis and Springfield. InCidently, the Mine rs lost to the St. Louisans only because of the absence of Bob Lange on a senior trip at the time. Lange has been a sure winner in the high and broad jumps all year, but because the Miner team had no second and third place men the Bills were able to take both events, thereby winning the meet. Outstanding among the track men, be-

ALUMNUS

sides Lange, are: Norman Tucker, freshman two-miler who will probably be the ou~standing distance man in the conference n ext year: George Fort. another yearling who is s!ate:i by the experts to win the conference mile next season; Barrett, freshman half miler; Eddie Ballman, senior half miler, who took a second in the M. I. A. A. event; G=orge Machens, javelin thrOWer, and Joe S:rawhun, discus. The Miners finished four th in the M. I. A . A. outdoor meet at Cape Girardeau, Lange winning the only first (high jump) for the Miners. Tucker broke the two-mile record by 5 seconds only to fin ish about a stride behind Bench of Springfield. -

By Assccia~e:i Press. ROLLA. MO.. May 27.- Harold Grant. athletic director and head football coach at the Miss::luri School of Mines, and Junior Brown. assistant football coach, res:gned today, effec~ive September 1. In a i dition, it was learned, E'mer Kirchoff, the baske:ba'.l coach , resigned a month ago when he left to take up h is duties as player-manager of a minor league baseball team in Arkansas . Grant said he and Brown ha:i res:gned because of the lack of intsrest in a~hletics at the school. He explained the s8hool's academic requirements, which are higher than those of oth er membsrs of the Missouri Intercollegiate Athle:ic Association, took up so much of the stude'1t's time that sports were "most incidental." Grant cam s to the SC:1001 of Mines in 1928 after five years as coach at Emporia College, Emp::lria, Kan., his alma mater. While there, his foo:ball teams won 35 games, lost four and tied one. w inning the Kansas championship three times and finishing second twice . At Rolla. Grant's teams have won 30 games, lost 34 a n:! tied six. Four teen of the defeots were by univ ersity teams. In the nine years of h is coaching the Miners scored exacJy 1090 PClint s to their opponen'.s' 746 . Grant's plans for next year were undecided, but he will spsnd the summer on the West Coast before coming back to the Middle Wes t. Brown's plans also were undecided. He came to Rolla with Grant in 1928. -0-
