SENTINEL ^p^ OF THE NIGHT DEEP NIGHT . . . before the first grey streaks of
dawn silver the eastern sky. On a table beside the bed rests a little black instrument . . . silent, unobtrusive, seemingly inert there in the stillness. It is the telephone, sentinel of the night. Ready to call a policeman at the first unexplained sound . . . ready to summon the fire department at the first ominous whiff of smoke . . . primed to arouse a physician, a nurse, or a neighbor when illness intrudes. For the wired world is at the other end, waiting for your outstretched hand and your plea: "Come quickly!" Sentinel duty, of course, is a small part of the manifold service your telephone renders.

incidents of every-day store orders, of friendly chats; the joy and comfort of familiar voices as though from across the room; these, too, make the telephone a valued member of the family. Behind your telephone is the nation-wide organization of trained minds and hands whose ideal is to serve you in a manner as nearly perfect as is humanly possible. Seven hundred thousand stockholders — men and women like yourself — have invested their money in this system of the people and for the people. The telephone is a vital link in the chain of modern living. It gives much in convenience and safety. It offers a wide range of usefulness. It serves you day and night.

HE huge U. S. Navy dirigible, Los Angeles, is roaring above the General Electric Research Laboratory at Schenectady. O n board the airship, an almost invisible beam of light is aimed at a 24-inch mirror-target a half-mile below. The mirror, turning as it follows the dirigible's course, catches the slender beam. Voices transformed into electric impulses in the airship are carried to the mirror by light waves. A photoelectric cell picks up these waves and they are reconverted into sound, which is broadcast to the world by radio. A "voice on the air," with a "voice from the a i r " — t h e official opening of radio station WGY's new 50-kw. transmitter is taking place. One millionth of a watt — generated from the blast of a police whistle in the dirigible—is transmitted to the ground on the beam of light and to a Thyratron tube. The tube magnifies the whistle energy 50,000,000,000,000 times to operate the switches that start the transmitter, five miles away.

Tech plays Georgia in Atlanta at Grant Field on November 26, and the date of this game has been chosen as the most appropriate time for the annual homecoming and class reunions. The classes of 1892, '97, 1902, '07, '12, '17, '22, '27, and '32 are to hold their Home Coming Reunions with the home comers in general, so, if you haven't already done so, kindly get in touch with your respective class secretaries and begin making arrangements now for a big gathering. Secretaries of the reunion classes a r e : A. R. Coleord '92, Atlanta, Ga.; R. M. Crumley '97, Atlanta, Ga.; Roy G. Merry '02, Atlanta, Ga.; G . M . Stout '07, Atlanta, Ga.; Bob Mell '12, Atlanta, Ga.; John M. Slaton '17, Atlanta, Ga.; A. R. Flowers '22, Atlanta, Ga.; Gilbert H. Boggs, Jr., '27, Atlanta, Ga.; Howard Moffat '32, Meridian, Miss. The secretary of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association will be pleased to assist the various secretaries and class members with their reunion plans. Some of the classes will hold their banquets on the night of November 25 and will join with the other home comers at the usual homecoming luncheon on the 26. The luncheon will be held at noon at one of the Atlanta clubs or at a nearby hotel on the a la carte or regular luncheon plan in a dining hall reserved for Georgia Tech supporters. Additional announcements will be made at a later date in this connection. The class of 1912 has already received a number of replies from far and near to a preliminary letter that they sent out in August, preparatory to the celebration of their twentieth anniversary. For the benefit of the 1912 men who might not have received the letter and for the guidance of other secretaries, it is printed, herewith, under the following heading: Fellows of the 1912 Class A period of twenty years is long enough to wait for our first big reunion; so we hope to make the days of November 25 and 26 something really to remember. The feature event, of course, will be the Tech-Georgia game on Grant Field Saturday, November 26, and you may expect a victory. We'll appreciate your suggestions as to any features you would like to have on the program; in the meanwhile, let us look forward to our twentieth anniversary and work for its success. Committee: R.

In accordance with the policies that were adopted last year by a large number of alumni associations throughout the country, the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association has decided to publish the Georgia Tech Alumnus every other month during the college year by combining the numbers in issues as follows: September-October, NovemberDecember, January-February, March-April, May-June. The plan will afford the association an opportunity to make each issue larger and more attractive which, it is hoped, will be evident to you with this number. The issues will appear about the third week of the first month of the combined numbers; as a result, the contents will be up to the minute, practically, since former September and October numbers had to go to press before the first fall games were played and before the events of these and the other months had transpired. All in all, it is thought that the change will be for the better and your comment, thereon, will be appreciated.

W e Repeat Robert T. " B o b b y " Jones, Jr., has again assumed his duties as president of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association to which you unanimously reelected him during May of this year. You reelected all of the former officers, also, and Bob has reappointed the members of his executive board, as shown on the title page of this issue. The conditions that face your president and his board are quite difficult, as you may realize; however, it is felt that with the present awakening of business, all of you will do " y o u r b i t " to support your officers and the alumni association. So may we repeat: " Y o u r presidents and alumni boards have served you and Georgia Tech faithfully and well and have never received any compensation other than the knowledge of having done their best for that which is near and dear to them and to you. They can't operate the association successfully without the help of every one of you; so check up to see whether you are an active alumnus or a subscriber to your alumni publication. Try to do your bit that way at this time. If you have no membership card for the present year, the chances are that you are not active or not a subscriber to the publication; so take a chance, in accordance with that loyal desire, by sending in the " o l e s u p p o r t " right now. And remember old ramblers: ' ' Stick with us, if you are employed; if not, let us know, and we '11 stay with you, with every service at our command."
Ticket Reservation Consult the football schedules published in this issue for information concerning games, revised admissions, and dates, for both the home games and games away from Atlanta, in order to give yourself ample time to make such reservations as you may desire. Every game on Tech's schedule this year will be a treat to you, as to colorful opponents and the ability of the Gold and White, this fall. This is the season of the year that most alumni save and wait for, so give yourself a little consideration the coming two months, old timers, and anticipate your ticket requirements at the earliest convenient moment. Clemson, Kentucky, Auburn, Tulane, Alabama and Georgia, in Atlanta. North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Florida and California in their respective home places. Every game is a big one and there will be a real treat for you in every one of them. While the Georgia Tech Athletic Association opens a ticket desk in the hotel headquarters of the city that is visited, it is recommendeed that you send in your orders as soon as possible to the athletic association for any of the games in order to be assured of choice seats, as centrally located seats will be allotted for alumni, students,, and friends. I t will be a good idea, too, for you to make hotel reservations well in advance, for the home games, in addition to the games away from Atlanta, if you desire hotel accommodations.
A Forward Step The students and faculty of Tech are to be congratulated on the organization of an Honor Court for the purpose of preliminary consideration of all eases of cheating and irregularities in the classroom. Students and faculty members are equally represented on the new board. The Honor Court, which begins functioning with the new (Continued on Page 10)

W . E. Dunwoody, Jr., '14, Appointed to Board of Regents
W. E. DUNWOODY, JR.
B.S. in Architecture 1914 Recently Elected to Board of Regents
William E. Dunwoody, Jr., prominent Macon, Ga., architect, was appointed by Governor Russell during June as a member of the board of regents of the University of Georgia System, to succeed W. D. Anderson, Macon textile manufacturer who resigned. This appointment gives Georgia Tech a graduate representative on the University Board. Mr. Dunwoody graduated from Georgia School of Technology, with a degree in architecture, in the class of 1914. He was located in New York for a short time after his graduation, but returned to Macon and was successively a member of the firms of Nisbet, Brown & Dunwoody, and Dunwoody & Oliphant, before entering business for himself. He was one of the directing architects in the construction of greater Wesleyan College at Macon. Mr. Dunwoody is province commander of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity over the states of Georgia, Florida and Alabama, vice-president of the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, president of the Macon Civic Opera Company, and active in the Kiwanis Club and Presbyterian Church. He is a son-in-law of Congressman Eugene E. Cox, of the Second Georgia District.
Frank Hooper, Jr., '16, Appointed as State Jurist A testimonial dinner was given recently by the Atlanta legal fraternity in honor of Judge Frank A. Hooper, Jr., who was recently appointed to the bench of the Georgia Court of Appeals by Governor Russell. Judge Hooper was an honor student at Georgia Tech and a member of the class of 1916. He left Tech to study law and, upon becoming a member of the Georgia Bar, he entered the firm of F. A. Hooper and Son, Attorneys. He served as a lieutenant in the navy in the war and has just completed a term as president of the Baptist Young People's Union. In 1916 he served as secretary to Senator Walter F . George who was then a member of the Court of Appeals. Judge Hooper also served in the State Legislature and has always been prominent in Georgia Tech and other civic affairs.

'05, former president of the Atlantic Steel Company, on August 1, concluded 26 years of service with that corporation to become vice-president in charge of sales of the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company, of Birmingham, Ala. Simultaneously with the resignation of Mr. Gregg, Charles F. Stone, '03, vice-president of the steel company, was elected to the presidency to succeed Mr. Gregg. In 1908 Mr. Gregg became connected with the Atlantic Steel Company, starting in the open hearth department and working through all the departments to the position of chief executive. Following his graduation from Tech he received a degree from Cornell University, and then immediately began his services with the steel company. The Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Company is a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation, one of the largest industrial concerns in the world. Mr. Gregg's election to the vice-presidency is distinct recognition of his ability in the industrial field. Mr. Gregg has the unique distinction of being one of the few highly placed executives of the United States Steel Corporation or subsidiaries not to

come up through the ranks. He succeeded Willard Wilson who retired July 30. Unusual importance is attached to the appointment of Mr. Gregg because of the approach to the retirement age of H. C. Ryding, now president of the Tennessee company and the report that the company will be made the sales agency in the South for all steel corporation subsidiaries. Mr. Gregg is a director of the American Iron and Steel Institute and a member of many clubs in Atlanta. Mr. Stone has been affiliated with the Atlantic Steel Company since 1910, when he entered its employ as a salesman. Marked success in this line brought him promotion to general manager of the sales department in 1914. Mr. Stone held this position since that time, together with the office of vice-president to which he was elected in 1920. After leaving Georgia Tech, Mr. Stone became associated with his father, F. I. Stone, one of the early dealers of steel products in Atlanta. Mr. Stone is interested in social welfare work, particularly Young Men's Christian Association activities. He was president of this organization in 1926.

Jackets Return Seasoned Team When Coach William A. Alexander sounded the initial call to football practice on September 5, an entirely different squad, from the standpoint of experience, responded, in contrast to the candidates that assembled at a similar occasion a year ago. Last season the Jacket mentors were confronted with a light, inexperienced group of football players including but few veterans and a large number of "wild-eyed" sophomores. As reserve strength was lacking, practically the same eleven was forced each game to oppose the formidable power of more rugged foes. Trainer Mike Chambers worked heroically to keep the team in good condition, but injuries and sickness constantly dogged the way. The Jackets fought spiritedly and courageously against the superior teams but lost the majority of games. The season was unsuccessful from a standpoint of wins and losses. However, while taking this humiliating battering from some of the finest teams of the Southern Conference, the light young squad absorbed invaluable experience and the great desire to revenge the many defeats. This entire varsity group, except Peeler, Branch, Fincher, Flowers, Ezell, Murray, McKee, and Farmer, appeared at Rose Bowl Field in answer to Coach Alex's call to the first practice of the 1932 season. Of these eight, only a couple were first stringers last year. Not only is the Tech team a veteran outfit versed in the intricacies of football, but it is heavier and stronger physically than the two preceding teams. Last year's freshman squad promotes a large array of promising players to varsity ranks, while the hard-working scrubs will continue to knock at the doors of varsity positions. For the first time in three years material for a stalwart and aggressive line is plentiful. From a group of veteran linesmen, sophomore stars, and other reserve strength a line averaging close to 195 pounds can be built. Howard Neblett, captain of the '31 team, is the outstand-
ing candidate for the center position. Although Neblett is light, he is a rugged defensive player and a consistent offensive performer. John Pool, a capable player, will again substitute for Neblett. Carl Shaw and Brewer, two big boys from the freshman team will add further to strengthening the pivot position. In the closing game of last season, that against California, Eddie Laws and Tarzan Lackey were just about as good a pair of guards as a coach could desire. It takes a good (Continued on Page 13)

Seasoned Team Returns (Continued from Page 11) man in the opposition to keep a 200-pounder like Laws from breaking in to smear plays. With increased weight, Lackey should prove more formidable than ever. Converted from end to guard he has at last found himself. Homer Stalnaker and Quint Adams are also guard prospects. Three sophs, Mutt Morris, former Tech High star; Dave Wilcox, a robust Texan, and AValter Susong, from Morristown, Tennessee, have shown up well in the early practice sessions. Tom Cain and Bob Tharpe, both seasoned players, seem to have a slight edge over the tackle aspirants. Cain, who was converted from fullback to tackle, will be playing his last year for the White and Gold. His 200 pounds will probably be much in evidence this fall at the Plats. Bob Tharpe, a junior at Tech, and brother of Mack of 1926 fame, is a consistently scrappy performer. Two graduates of the frosh team, Norris Dean and Peewee Williams, are strong contenders for the tackle berths and should give the vets a close race. Dean weighs close to the 200-pound mark but is fast and agile enough to be a star hurdler. As for strength he dethroned Tarzan Lackey for the heavyweight boxing title of the school. Because Dean has fine punting ability and passes well, he may be transferred for backfield duty. Williams, who hails from Arkansas, is another six foot heavyweight with plenty of courage and power. Gonk Gardner, brother of George, a former Tech captain, and Charles Brady are two more hard workers again out for the tackle posts. Three experienced flankmen are again on hand seeking to hold down the end positions. They are Syd Williams, alternate captain of the '31 eleven, Jere Goldsmith, and George Vierick. All are rugged dependable performers, skillful at pass receiving and fast on covering punts. Williams is a creditable kicker and can also carry the ball. Up until last year he had been groomed for a halfback. Jimmy Slocum, junior three-letter man, Tom Spradling, Bob Warner, and Claud England are likewise in the running for competition. Because only two boys, namely Buck Plowers and Tom Peeler, are not returning from all the backfield material of last season, prospects are good for the organization of several scintillating backfield combinations. The seasoned quartet of Roy McArthur, quarter; J a p Hart and Pat Barron, halves; and Ben Cherry, full, may be broken up to admit a good kicker. McArthur is a cool field general similar to the type like Durant of the '28 championship eleven. H a r t and Barron are both shifty and elusive ball carriers. Cherry, a good blocker, hacks up a line like a stone wall. John Ferguson is a half who will probably see much service this fall because of his punting ability. Other halves who are being primed for action are Charley Galloway, Wink Davis, Tom Black, and Hugh Gooding. The "Galloping Galloway", a 100-yard dash man, will stretch out for the goal line when given the slightest opportunity. Davis, Black, and Gooding are flashy backs that can give a good account of themselves. Jack Phillips, a triple-threat sophomore ace, and Harry Milligan are notable fullback candidates. Quarterback contenders are Wilbur Peterson and Shorty Roberts, diminutive graduate from freshmen ranks. A net is needed to snare Shorty who can twist and squirm through or around almost any line. With all this fine material and the excellent coaching ability of Coaches Alexander, Bobby Dodd, and Jack Cannon, pre-season dope ventures that the Jackets should no longer be a doormat for opposing teams but a dangerous eleven which should assert itself after a slump of several years.
