Members of the 1916 class held an enthusiastic and interesting advance "get together" during the annual meeting of the Alumni Association in J u n e .

J i m m y Johnston's letter of May 31 to his classmates, is an excellent example of some of t h e fine work that is being done for the reunion classes. In a 1921 class envelope and on unique, three colored, twentieth reunion stationery, J i m m y "stepped out" with a great letter, which with a change of class dates, is most applicable to all the reunion classes.

The letter is as follows: "Here goes for the first letter to everybody I can (Continued on next column)

Reunions-Home Coming—(Cont'd.) possibly get a line on for news of old '21 who is now coming around the curve on lap No. 20 and I know I don't have to emphasize that figure. We are all probably pinching ourselves and asking can it be.

It sure is Big Boy T-W-E-N-T-Y. "Am starting in right away getting a committee organized for the purpose of making our reunion next November (Tech vs. Georgia in Atlanta weekend) a reunion that will stop all reunions and then get 'em started up again.

"We have every expectation of planning a jam-up reunion for some real "shindigs" commencing Friday and concluding Saturday night, November 28 and 29.

"Our next letter will list up all the men w e failed to contact in this the first letter and no doubt a line can be gotten on every one of t h e m from somebody receiving this letter.

"All suggestions will be gratefully received and any one wishing to serve on this committee will be welcome. Drop me a line or call me at Vernon 1517 in Atlanta.

"So long, until our next letter to you, and don't forget to give us your ideas.

Sincerely, J A S . H.

JOHNSON."

Jimmy Johnston's letter is excellent and we hope all of you in each class will begin making plans now to attend your reunion and home coming celebrations.

More announcements will follow; and in the meanwhile, please insist on the attendance of the alumni who are in the service of the United States, as all of you, we know, join with us in wanting them back, by all means, and we sincerely trust that conditions will be such that they may arrange to be present.

September-October,

1941

Report of Annual Business Meeting ALUMNI CARDS ADMIT TO PRACTICES Attended by an interested and representative group of local and visiting alumni, the annual business meeting of the National Georgia Tech Alumni Association was called to order by the retiring president, W. A. Parker, at 8:00 P. M., Friday, J u n e 6, 1941, in the Georgia Tech Y. M. C. A. President W. A. P a r k e r gave a summary of the excellent work of the Alumni Board for the year and called attention to the many and fine meetings that the board members have had with a faculty committee on expansion. He also stated that the Board was working hard, faithfully and loyally on all vital matters pertaining to Georgia Tech and that a lot of good had already been accomplished; he added that former presidents of the association are acting with the Alumni Board on these important matters.

Reports of the Treasurer and the Secretary w e r e read and adopted. The Treasurer's books and records, it was announced, were to be audited, as usual, by a certified public accountant.

The report of the Secretary drew attention to the fact that there is an enormous amount of general and detail work in connection with an alumni office and stated the following: " 1 . The alumni office is really a registrar's office which records personnel information on those who have attended the college.

In this particular we are making a survey at this time of all who have gone into the service in order to send them news and to help with their placements again in industry, at the proper time, and prior to their leaving the service.

2. We are still working on a complete directory of the alumni which is being published in full for additions and corrections in the current issues of our magazine. We have mailed out over 6,000 information cards on this in the past year and a like n u m b e r in the year before.

3. Placement work has been hard and exacting b u t very encouraging as the demand far exceeds the supply. We have handled 400 or more placements and all kinds of correspondence with business and government agencies in- finding qualified men for them. There are no dues or any other charges to anyone for our placement services.

4. We are grateful to Coach Alexander, the Athletic Association, and Coach Roy Mundorff for assistance in furnishing us with the current football films. In the past year we have averaged two bookings per week for showings which averaged more than forty persons a week, to alumni meetings, to high school students and others, totalling over 2,000 in all.

5. The Association has worked in behalf of the best interests of Georgia Tech in all matters that have come up, and has handled such affairs to t h e best of its ability and, we believe, with every fairness and consideration to all.

6. Beginning with the fall Home Comings and Reunions, really big meetings and fine demonstrations are going to take place in a series of events. A n u m b e r of the class representatives are now working with our office in this connection. The Home

Coming events will be held over the week-end of November 29, the day of the Tech-Georgia game in Atlanta, with class suppers, luncheons, dances, and class parades.

7. Some time back, Mr. Bob Wilby suggested t h a t it would be very much in order and quite necessary for the seniors to have experience in being interviewed for their jobs. This idea was given to the proper authorities and, as some of you know, the seniors have been going through practical interviews with the constructive help of many of the alumni and other leading business men.

8. We have saved one of the finest recent bequests to Georgia Tech for our closing remarks, and that was the gift of a large plot of land just North of the campus, to the school for the home of the president of the college or for any other Tech use, by Mr. J o h n Smith, M. E., 1895, President, J o h n Smith Company, Atlanta. Mr. Smith's gift, in memory of his father, wat accompanied by a grand letter; and his example s a splendid one for each alumnus to emulate.

I know you join with us in expressing our sincere gratitude to Mr. Smith.

To our alumni officers, board, and committee members, we are greatly indebted for their many meetngs and hard work in behalf of Georgia Tech and the Alumni Association; all without compensation, except for the good that they have done for their Alma Mater and their State. We gratefully t h a n k them, and we also thank all of you for your kindness and consideration."

Upon the conclusion of the foregoing report, Messrs. Chas. Gardner and "Reg" Fleet, 1916 reunion members, made some valuable suggestions as to reunions and other business which was well received and is being acted upon. They and all others were assured that capable committees, which were announced, w e r e working on all matters important to Georgia Tech. This was met by hearty approval and a cordial reception by all.

Head Coach W. A. Alexander gave a delightful and interesting talk on football prospects and stated that he was cooperating fully with the Government which came first, by all means, in the call upon men, football players or otherwise. He has lost Muerth, Bates, Lee, Hood, Pair, Paschall, and other really good men to the service, all of whom have gone in for aviation, and h e may lose more to the good of the cause. He will be short, consequently, of old men; there are some valuable ones coming on, he added, and he expects to have more speed and a fairly good team, after all, this fall.

After Coach Alexander's talk, the meeting adjourned and pictures of some of the major football games of last season were shown.

Capt. Smith Gives Tract To Tech

CAPTAIN JOHN E. SMITH, '95.

Captain J o h n E. Smith, M.E., 1895, outstanding alumnus of Georgia Tech, civic leader, President and owner of John Smith Company, prominent automobile firm, deeded an excellent tract of improved and elevated land to Georgia Tech during the latter part of May. The valuable gift was made in memory of Mr. Smith's father, who was a contributor to the founding of Georgia Tech under Dr. I. S. Hopkins.

The tract is located on the corner of Tenth and Fowler streets, not far from Tech's Rose Bowl Field, and was originally secured as a home site.

Captain J o h n Smith attended Tech under Dr. I. S. Hopkins and Captain L y m a n Hall, the first and second presidents, respectively, of the institution. He received his M.E. degree in 1895 and was captain of Tech's baseball team in '95, also caught in '96, and was quarterback in '94 on the football team that defeated Auburn 94 to 0. (Yes, they have trimmed Ga. Tech plenty since and vice versa.) His son, Hal L. Smith, was graduated from Tech in 1926; and a grandson is now en route to the college.

In his fine letter to Dr. Brittain, announcing the gift, Mr. Smith stated: "You, my dear Dr. Brittain, have been president for 19 years and have inspired this gift. Under your guidance Tech has made wonderful strides in growth, in reputation, and in character. The luster reflected b y Tech since you have been its president will always be a great source of pride and satisfaction to its alumni."

"It is my wish that this property be used exclusively for the benefit of my old alma mater, Georgia Tech. This gift is made in memory of my father, J o h n M. Smith, who was a contributor to the founding of Tech under Dr. I. S. Hopkins."

He added that the growth of Georgia Tech will

Ceo. W. McCarty Concludes Long Athletic Board Membership As far back as J a n u a r y 5, 1937, Mr. George W. McCarty, M.E., 1908, tendered his resignation as a member of the Athletic Board at Georgia Tech, since he felt then, as he does now, that the honor and pleasu r e of membership on that very important Board should be rotated from time to time. Dr. M. L. Brittain, President of Georgia Tech, and the other members of the Board, however, insisted that the services of Mr. McCarty were most valuable to them; and they preferred for him to remain on the Board. This Mr. McCarty kindly consented to do for a while at least and with every appreciation.

Since then and before, Mr. McCarty has been responsible, along with the other Board members, for the notable progress of Tech's Athletic program, the most important accomplishment of which is t h e fact that the Association is now free from debt with all improvements paid for.

Although he is too modest to admit it, he was largely instrumental in securing the r e t u r n of a large loan made by the Athletic Association to the Board of Regents with which to complete the swimming pool addition to the auditorium which had been authorized by the Regents but on which completion had been halted for lack of funds when the Legislature, several years ago, failed to pass the Appropriation Bill making the funds available.

It is felt certainly well in order to quote in part from Mr. McCarty's kind and fine letter of resignation of April 25, 1941, to Dr. Brittain, which states: "Having served as a member of the Athletic Board since 1922 and feeling as I do that this should not be a lifetime job, and that the honor should be passed around, I hereby tender my resignation as of May 1, 1941, with the request that same be accepted. This should give you an opportunity to appoint my successor before the present school term is out and enable him to take office and be of value to the Board for the ensuing school year starting in September.

My association with you and the other members of the Board has been a most pleasant relationship and one that I shall always cherish.

With all good wishes for the future of our School and our Association and with w a r m personal regards to you and each member of the Board, I am, Yours sincerely, Signed: GEORGE W. MCCARTY." Dr. M. L. Brittain, President, and Dean Floyd Field, Secretary of the Board of Directors, Georgia Tech Athletic Association, expressed in a letter of record their sincere regret and that of the other members of the Board at Mr. McCarty's resignation; and conveyed to him the personal and kind feelings of their Board with expressions of esteem for his wise counsel, faithfulness to duty, and unwavering loyalty to his Alma Mater.

Capt. Smith Gives Tract—(Cont'd) undoubtedly be in the direction of the property— which is its present and practical trend—and it is his hope, Mr. Smith further declared, that his gift will stimulate fellow alumni to m a k e similar and other contributions to Georgia Tech.

Tech "Y" Book Dedicated To George Winship, 1906

New Commandant Navy R. O. T. C Captain W. C. Wickham, U. S. N., has been assigned as commandant of the important Georgia.

Tech Naval R. O. T. C. station.

Captain Wickham, formerly commanding officer of t h e U. S. S. Quincy, heavy cruiser, has been in charge of the Naval Reserve training school at Tech since J u l y 18. The school has been training ensigns in naval subjects prior to their active duty assignments.

Captain Reed M. Fawell, U. S. N , Commandant, and Commander Paul R. Coloney, U. S. N., were in charge of the department during the past school year.

Captain Wickham is a capable, efficient and popular officer and Georgia Tech is fortunate indeed in always having men of his ability at the head of its respective Navy and A r m y R. O. T. C. units.

Barron Chosen Director NYA Unit A news article of August 27 from Monroe, Georgia, -states that a change whereby the Georgia Vocational and Trade School, of which David Irenus Barron is president, becomes a resident National Youth Administration institution with Mr. Barron as project director, has been approved by the Walton County Board of Education.

The J o h n Marshall Law School of Atlanta conferred the degree of doctor of laws, at their commencement exercises on J u n e 7, upon Barron, who holds a commerce degree, also, from Georgia Tech.

It was further announced that under terms agreed upon by the Walton County Board of Education and Boisfeuillet Jones, state director of the NYA, Walton County will lease the physical plant of the old Georgia Vocational and Trade School to the NYA on a yearly contract, which can be canceled by either party on 30-day notice.

In return, the NYA will materially aid the county in erecting a new $35,000 high school building on t h e campus for t h e North Walton Elementary School.

Work will begin on t h e building within 30 days, according to J. Mason Williams, county school superintendent.

As NYA project director, Mr. Barron will direct activity of the institution, which will provide a resident school for 200 out-of-school and unemployed youths between 16 and 24 years of age.

F e w changes in personnel will be made."

It may well be added t h a t this gives promise of the genesis of a high school and junior college movement that should become a vitally important national educational project.

Former Tech Athlete Loses Hand Paul Sprayberry, star end for the past three seasons on Georgia Tech's football team, had his right hand amputated at the wrist on J u l y 16, following an accident on J u l y 15, while working with the telephone company in Atlanta.

The six foot three inch athlete alternated with George Webb at right end for the Jackets and was one of the big stars in Tech's Orange Bowl victory over Missouri on J a n u a r y 1, 1940. He also played on the basketball team for two years. He had finished his athletic career at Tech.

Sprayberry came through his ordeal nicely and is facing his loss with fine philosophy and fortitude.

GEORGE WINSHIP, '06

Georgia Tech's Y. M. C. A. " T " book for the year 1941-1942 is most appropriately dedicated to Mr. George Winship, 1906. A full page picture of Mr. Winship is shown in the opening pages of the hand book, opposite the following sincere and fitting tribute: DEDICATION " I n recognition of his outstanding community leadership, a fine portion of which has been devoted to faithful service as a member of the Y . M . C. A. Board of Directors, and because of his far-reaching efforts to strengthen spiritual and social values, the 'T Book Staff dedicates this little volume in appreciation to

MR. GEORGE WINSHIP." Mr. Winship is President of the Fulton Supply Company, and the Morris Plan Bank of Georgia, and is also a former president of the Atlanta Rotary Club. Prominent in a number of other outstanding civic, church, and business associations, Mr. Winship has always found time to serve Georgia Tech in its Y. M. C. A. and other activities; and it is a genuine pleasure for us to congratulate Mr. Winship and the Tech Y. M. C. A. " T " Book Staff on this excellent and so well merited tribute.

Concerning Alumni Photographs We greatly appreciate the photographs that have been sent to us for our files at the request of authorized photographers. The pictures will add greatly to the effectiveness of our permanent records on the respective alumni and we plan to publish the photos singly or in groups in some of the coming issues of the

ALUMNUS.

While we really w a n t to have a good photo file, we certainly don't want any of our alumni to be importuned in the matter; nor should anyone presume upon your time or cause you any inconvenience or expense in connection with the plan.

You will understand this notice, we feel sure, and w e t h a n k you a lot for your kindness and co-operation.

THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS

Distinguished Service Award Presented to Frank H. Neely

Courtesy Atlanta Journal Frank H . Neely, M.E. 1 9 0 4 , Executive Vice-President a n d M a n a g e r of Rich's, Inc., received Georgia Tech's 1 9 4 1 Distinguished Service A w a r d a t Commencement Exercises on M o n d a y , June 9.

Dr. M . L. B r i t t a i n , l e f t . President of Georgia T e c h , presented the award w h i c h is made annually to the alumnus " w h o t h r o u g h his good works has honored his a l m a m a t e r . "

In bestowing Georgia Tech's 1941 Distinguished Service Award upon Frank H. Neely, Executive VicePresident and General Manager of Rich's, Inc., during the June Commencement Exercises, Dr. Brittain pointed out that Mr. Neely was chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank, chairman of the Fulton County Planning Commission and that he held other high civic posts in addition to his connection with the business world.

Mr. Neely was born in Augusta and came to Tech from the public schools in Rome where his father was the first superintendent. He was graduated in mechanical engineering at Tech in 1904. He went to Pittsburgh after his graduation, but returned to Atlanta in 1910 to become associated with the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills; he became connected with Rich's in 1924. , To the 431 graduates and the 2,000 or more in addition who were present at the exercises, the award was an impressive ceremony.

Governor James M. Cox, publisher of the Atlanta Journal and other newspapers in Ohio and Florida, was the principal commencement speaker.

Governor Cox's brilliant message to the assembly on preparedness and service was broadcast over stations WSB, and WGST, in addition to the full accounts of his speech which were nationally published; and it was grand and fitting that Mr. Neely received the Georgia Tech award for distinguished service during such an excellent program on "service" to the nation.

Dr. Harold Alan Bunger Dr. Harold Alan Bunger, 45, nationally known figure in chemical engineering research, director of the Engineering Experiment Station, and chief of the division of chemical engineering at Georgia Tech, died suddenly of a heart attack Friday, August 15, while on a visit to Minneapolis, Minn. He resided at 333 Oakland street, Decatur.

A graduate of the University of Minnesota, with a bachelor of science degree, a chemical engineering degree and a doctor of philosophy degree, Dr. Bunger came to Tech in 1927, and his cooperative spirit, ability, and popularity soon gained for him wide recognition and promotion.

He also attained much prominence for progress made on the development of an economical machine to process flax for commercial purposes. He was with the A. E. F. during the World War and was a native of Eaton, Ohio.

He was a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Georgia Academy of Science and held membership in one professional fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma; three honor societies, Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi and Pi Lambda Epsilon and was a graduate member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Surviving are his wife and one daughter, Jane Bunger.

The funeral was in Minneapolis, the home place of his family, where he had gone at the time of his death to contact some large business firms in connection with his flax processing project.

THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

Football Prospects For 1941 Coach W. A. Alexander, C.E. 1912, starts his twenty-second year as head football coach at Georgia Tech with a squad that has been hard hit by draft and enlistments. It looks as if the Tech squad has been struck harder in this connection than any others in the Southeastern Conference due, perhaps, to the great demand for those of engineering and industrial training. Six or seven of good first string material have already gone to the colors.

Undaunted, however, Coach 'Alex," his staff and players expect to have a real outfit, one of the fastest in years, and a first team that will rank among the best. Some replacements will be hard to fill b u t the prospects are not disheartening.

"We will be using more sophomores and B team players than ever," Coach Alexander said. "The new unlimited substitution rule will help us. We have one experienced team but replacements are pretty raw."

Muerth and Hood, regular tackles with another year of service who were to have been regular tackles have gone to camp. Sanders and Anderson are the only experienced men left for that post and the substitutes will be few. At other line positions, however, the team is better fortified.

J o h n n y Bosch at tailback and Ralph Plaster at fullback are mainstays who survive. A flock of other backs—Bates, Pair, Paschal, Bradford—who would have played have put on khaki.

Davey Eldredge and P a t McHugh are two of the most promising sophomore backs and they will see plenty of service before the season is half over.

For the first time in years, as mentioned, Coach Alexander is expected to dip liberally into his sophomore material, which includes two sensational tailbacks, Davey Eldredge and P a t McHugh; two speedy guards, Ed Ryckeley and Willard Haines; a morethan-promising center, Mutt Manning, and Al Faulkner, an able blocking back. Number one gun in the Tech arsenal still is Johnny Bosch, now a senior, who sparked the Jacket offensive in both 1939 and 1940.

Tech Flying Units To Form Uncle Sam's A r m y and Navy Air Corps are supplementing their cadet selection projects through the organization of sponsored group units for air training. Members of these units will be trained together under their own designation.

Several of the departments at Georgia Tech are cooperating with officers of the Army and Navy, respectively, in the formation of "Georgia Tech" and "Atlanta" flying units; and quite a number of Georgia Tech men are now going into these branches, in addition to the many who are already in the flying and other corps of the service.

Selectees for flight training must have acceptable credits from college, covering two years; or, in some branches, one year of college plus three years of business and executive experience. The age limits for the naval flight trainees extend from 18 through 26 years; that is, from the day they are eighteen to the day before their twenty-seventh birthday.

The Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, in t h e Atlanta district, got in touch with the Georgia Tech Alumni Association earlier in the summer and a letter was sent by the latter to those of the last t h r e e graduating classes who, it was thought, would b e very much interested, if not already in some branch of the service. It is felt that the letter is well worth repeating for others who may be interested in joining, or in passing the word along about the "Georgia Tech Unit" of Naval Aviation. The letter under date of August 15, 1941, states the following: "The Georgia Tech National Alumni Association and the United States Navy are co-operating in t h e formation of a 'Georgia Tech Unit' of Naval Aviation. Complete information is enclosed concerning the qualifications for, and the activities of, this Service.

"The proposed unit will be enlisted as a group and will receive its entire flight training as the 'Georgia Tech Unit.' It is suggested that any alumnus interested in this proposal should send in his n a m e and address to the below mentioned office of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, and also further assist the Alumni Association by communicating with any classmates who are qualified for Naval Aviation.

No definite date has been established, as yet, for the enlistment of the unit in the Naval Reserve; but any information desired in regard to Naval Aviation and the organization of the Georgia Tech Unit may be obtained by writing to the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, 614 Mortgage-Guarantee Building, Atlanta, Georgia.

Very truly yours, R. J. THIESEN, Secretary, Ga. Tech National Alumni Ass'n."

Georgia Tech Alumni In The Army and Navy

Including the 1941 class, some 1,550 reserve commissions h a v e been granted in the A r m y R. O. T. C. alone at Georgia Tech, since the granting of the dep a r t m e n t ' s first a r m y reserve commissions in 1920.

Likewise, some 402 Naval R. O. T. C. commissions h a v e been granted since 1930, w h e n reserve commis-

sions in the Navy w e r e first granted at Tech. This does not t a k e in account those who have received p e r m a n e n t commissions in the Navy supply corps and t h e Marine corps, nor the eight Navy seniors this year w h o w e r e named to the Navy supply corps for p e r m a n e n t commissions.

In all, t h e r e are 1,961 and more who h a v e earned their reserve commissions in the excellent A r m y and Navy R. O. T. C. units at Georgia Tech, and it is safe to assume t h a t all of them, as physically fit, are now in their respective branches of the service.

The foregoing total of 1,952 and more doesn't complete the figures by any means for, as may readily be seen, large numbers on the comprehensive list as published below and those yet to be published were not in the R. O. T. C. branches, or in the full time reserve courses, while at Georgia Tech.

More lists are to be shown in subsequent issues of the A L U M N U S . A partial roll, however, of those now in t h e service is as follows:

There has been an enormous demand b y the U. S. A r m y and Navy for Georgia Tech alumni and t h e latter h a v e literally flocked to the colors, in addition to those of t h e regular and reserve units of the service.

The alumni survey, covering those who are now on active duty, is being assiduously continued and the assistance of all alumni and other friends, particularly those in the service, is urgently requested for information on all Georgia Tech men in the service on whom we have no record to date, or on whom our present records are incomplete or incorrect.
