With little or no fanfare and in a modest yet quite appropriate manner, Georgia Tech plans to "carry on" with its traditional Homecoming, but in keeping with the spirit of the times and particularly with the conditions that are upon all of us.

As the Tech-Georgia football game is to be played in Athens, Georgia, this fall, it was again thought best to hold Homecoming Day on the date of the Tech-Alabama game at Grant Field, in Atlanta, Saturday, November 14.

In addition to all the homecomers in general, special reunion groups will consist of the following classes: 1892 and the other Pioneer Classes, 1897, 1902, 1907, 1912, 1917, 1922, 1927, 1932, 1937 and, as usual, the graduating class of the year, 1942.

The class representatives are Messrs. J. B. McCrary, 1891, and W. A. Hansell, 1892, for the Pioneers, together with A. R. Colcord, 1892 Class Secretary; R. M. Crumley, 1897; E. M. Klein, 1902; G. M. Stout.

1907; W. A. Alexander, 1912; J o h n M. Slaton, 1917; A. R. Flowers, 1922; Gilbert Boggs, 1927; Randy Whitfield, 1932; Lawrence Hayes, 1937; and C. L. Peacock, 1942.

The Pioneers through the members of the Class of 1892 are invited as the guests of honor to the Homecoming Luncheon by the Alumni Association, as this will m a r k the fiftieth anniversary of the Class of 1892.

Members of all classes, their families, dates, and other friends are to join with the reunion groups at the Homecoming Luncheon, 12:30 P.M., Saturday, November 14, in the Georgia Tech Dining Hall, as in the past. Class tables marked with class numerals will be arranged for all and the luncheon will be served cafeteria style, which has proved so satisfactory to everybody as to variety, quality and quantity.

Any arrangements other than attendance at the luncheon and the football game will be a matter of separately arranged activities on the part of the individual classes and their respective secretaries, under the present circumstances.

The program of the day will honor our "Gold Star" and other fine alumni in the armed forces of our country, and our Pioneer and Fiftieth Anniversary Reunion Groups.

Athletic Office Open To Visitors Georgia Tech's new Athletic Office Building will offer an attractive, modern and convenient rendezvous for the alumni, their families, and other friends, during the football season and at the time of other major and largely attended athletic events.

The Athletic Board, Professor Armstrong, Head Coach Alexander, Charlie Griffin and their respective staffs are justly proud of their attractive and well designed building and they cordially welcome all of you to their headquarters.

As previously stated, the building is located on the northwest corner of Grant Field with its main entrance fronting on Third Street and leading into a spacious lobby, on opposite sides of which are the business offices and the offices of the coaching staff.

M a y we again state that Coach W . A. Alexander has kindly designated space on the coaching staff side for the convenience and registration of the alumni and other visitors, and that the alumni office will be in charge of registrations during athletic events, and will be prepared to attend to the wants of the alumni and their guests.

Officers Re-elected for Ensuing Year Dr. John Bascom Crenshaw

DR. J. B. CRENSHAW, beloved director of modern languages for 3 8 years at Georgia Tech, and stalwart supporter of athletics, died in Atlanta on July 18. The 1 9 4 2 Annual was dedicated to him.

Students, faculty members, alumni and all others of Georgia Tech, together with a host of like friends in every walk of life, were deeply grieved at the passing of Dr. John Bascom Crenshaw, 81, in Atlanta on July 18, 1942.

A native of Nottaway county, Virginia, he was the son of William Claudius and Anne Ellington Crenshaw, the youngest of nine children. After his graduation from Randolph-Macon College in 1881 he joined the faculty of the institution. He received his master's degree from Randolph-Macon and served as assistant professor of modern languages until 1890.

He then became a member of t h e faculty at Johns Hopkins University, from which he obtained his Ph.D. in 1893. He left Johns Hopkins in 1902 to do special work at the University of Berlin.

In 1902, also, he married Miss Julia Willett Leach of Baltimore, who died in 1917.

In 1904 he accepted the chair of modern languages at Georgia Tech and held the high position for thirtyeight years, until his death.

A pioneer in Southern Intercollegiate Athletics, Dr. Crenshaw was responsible for the first gymnasium in the South. It was built at Randolph-Macon in 1886. He was one of 49 charter members of the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association. He served as faculty director of athletics at Georgia Tech.

A varsity lacrosse player at Johns Hopkins and an outstanding gymnast, he took up tennis in his 40s and became proficient at the game. He continued to play until he reached his middle 70s. He won the Georgia Tech faculty tennis tournament after he was 70 years old.

Dr. Crenshaw was one of the founders of the Atlanta Johns Hopkins Alumni Association. He was a Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Delta Epsilon

In confirmation of their nominations, the officers of the present administration of the Georgia Tech National Alumni Association were unanimously reelected for the 1942-'43 term, as a result of the balloting by mail in J u n e . The new period of office will begin with the opening of the fall t e r m of the college on October 5.

This recognition is again a tribute to the officers and board members of the association, and is in keeping with the fine precedent as set by the general alumni in returning their executives for a second year of service.

Vice-President, Jack Adair, 1933; Atlanta.

Vice-President, R. A. Morgan, 1909; At Large.

Treasurer, N. Baxter Maddox, 1922.

The foregoing officers with the alumni board appointees and the secretary, will constitute the Executive Board of the Alumni Association for the year.

As is customary and for the information of those who might not have seen our previous summaries on the activities of these most capable officers, it is a pleasure to repeat a brief outline on each of them, as follows: Mr. Robert B. Wilby is President of the WilbyKincey Service Corp., and the Wilby Theatres, operating throughout the Southeast. H e took the E.E. course and was a leader in campus activities. He has given most generously of his time and ability as President of the Ga. Tech National Alumni Association; contributes most liberally and graciously to Georgia Tech affairs with which he is ably experienced, and is prominent throughout the nation in business and civic undertakings.

Mr. Jack Adair is President of the Adair Realty and Loan Company. He is a son of Georgia Tech's great and immortal friend, "Mr. George" Adair. Outstanding in Georgia Tech affairs during and since his college days, he is also a prominent leader in civic activities, a liberal supporter, and experienced in college and alumni work.

Mr. Robert A. Morgan is a member of the firm of Moore, Thies & Morgan, Textile Engineers, Rome, Ga., and Charlotte, N. C , and Plant Manager of the Arkansas Ordnance Plant, Little Rock, Ark. He is a former president of the Rome Georgia Tech Club.

Doctorate Awarded Robert Gregg/05 Following his timely and excellent address on "Building a New World" as delivered at the One Hundred Forty-seventh Commencement Exercises at Tusculum College, Greenville, Tenn., on May 25, 1942, Mr. Robert Gregg, Georgia Tech M.E., 1905, President Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company of Birmingham, Ala., was awarded the highly merited, honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, b y Tusculum.

The alumni secretary of Tusculum College apprised the Georgia Tech Alumni office of the high award to Mr. Gregg.

Professor Clyde A. Dennis of t h e college read t h e following fine citation at the exercises, as addressed to Dr. Charles A. Anderson, President of Tusculum College: ,.

CITATION " M r . President: I have the honor to present for the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws M R . ROBERT GREGG native son of Georgia and graduate of her famous Technical School, also graduate student at Cornell University with the rank of Master of Arts; expert in the complex process of the manufacture of steel; chief executive of a large corporation engaged in vital war work production in the South; active in fostering cooperation among industrialists and other business men for the common good; a man whose interests reach out to the service of community and state."

A short b u t most interesting biographical sketch of Mr. Gregg was published in the Tusculum College commencement pamphlet, which stated: "Robert Gregg, a native son of Georgia, was born in Atlanta on April 14, 1885. He was educated in the Atlanta public schools and then entered the Georgia School of Technology, from which institution he was graduated in 1905 with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering. That fall he entered Cornell University for graduate study, and the following J u n e was honored with an M.E. degree.

"In August, 1906, Mr. Gregg started as clerk in the office of the general superintendent of the Atlanta (now Atlantic) Steel Company. His first major stride forward came in 1915 when he was elected SecretaryTreasurer of the company, although in the intervening years he had successfully handled several other responsible positions. In 1920 he was made VicePresident, and two years later was elected President.

In J a n u a r y , 1913, he married Miss Elizabeth Adair of Atlanta, Ga. The Greggs have one daughter, Mrs. Crawford Johnson V. Rainwater.

"In 1932 Mr. Gregg resigned the Presidency of the Atlantic Steel Company to accept the office of VicePresident in Charge of Sales for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company in Birmingham. A few months later he was promoted to the Presidency of the Tennessee Company, in which position he served until 1935, and again from 1938 to the present. From 1935 to 1938 he performed the duties of Vice-President in Charge of Sales for the United States Steel Corporation of New York.

"Mr. Gregg is also President and Director of the Tennessee Land Company, the Fairfield Steel Company, and the Universal Exploration Company. H e

Governor Elect Arnall Promises Fully Accredited University System State Attorney-General Ellis Arnall, who was elected Governor of Georgia in the democratic primary on September ninth, will be inducted into the new fouryear gubernatorial term of office on January 12, 1943.

Governor-elect Arnall has asserted that one of his very first acts of office will be directed toward the restoration of a fully accredited University System of Georgia; and he advocates a constitutional Board of Regents, with the removal of ex-officio membership of any Governor on this and all other state boards.

He further advocates a constitutional Board of Education for the common schools and full, wholehearted co-operation with the National Administration in its war efforts and in the use and distribution of federal funds.

The foregoing are among a number of other outstanding proposals but they are the ones which particularly apply to the educational affairs of the State of Georgia.

L W. Robert Jr. Gives Valuable Site for Tech Reception Center

L. W . " C H I P " ROBERT, JR., B.S. in C.E. 1 9 0 8 , and E.E. ' 0 9 , is shown presenting a deed to a site for a Freshman Reception Center at Georgia Tech. M r . Robert entered college on September 3 , 1 9 0 3 , the anniversary of his birth, and gave the tract to Tech on the same month and day, 3 9 years later. Looking on, left to right, as Dr. M . L. Brittain, President, accepts the gift, are William "Uncle Billy" Van Houten, W . F. Griffin, John H . "Uncle Heine" Henika, Dr. W . G. Perry, and Professor J . B. Edwards, the only five officials still at Georgia Tech since the date of M r . Robert's entrance in 1 9 0 3 .

Visualizing a Freshman Center and Dormitory Quadrangle to be based, albeit in a lesser way, upon the lines of the great halls and centers of the big universities of our country, and remembering his discouraging reception at the time of his entrance at Georgia Tech as a sub-freshman in 1903, Mr. Lawrence Wood "Chip" Robert, Jr., presented Georgia Tech with a deed on September third to a large and valuable site adjacent to the campus, for a reception center project.

The property faces the present tennis courts and the new dormitories, and is located on Third Street between Williams and Techwood Drive; its value is estimated at between $35,000 to $50,000.

Ultimately the property will be the site of a structure which will be a memorial to our men in the present war; and modeled along the lines of the famous Harkness Memorial Hall at Yale, the building will be dedicated forever as a freshman center.

"Because of present restrictions it will be impossible to start any building plans until after the w a r has ended, but some day I hope to see something there on that property which will be a memorial to the Tech men who served their country in this war," Mr. Robert said.

"The most valuable thing I received at Tech, besides my education, was the association I had during the six years I lived in the dormitories."

The five officials who were on the staff when Chip Robert entered Georgia Tech, September 3, 1903, and who witnessed the presentation, are Dr. William G. Perry, Dean of General Education and Head of the English Department; J. B. Edwards, Professor of Physics; John H. Henika, "Uncle Heine," Head of Wood Shop; W. F. Griffin, Supt. Power Plant; and William Van Houten, "Mr. Billy," Head of Foundry, who has been at Georgia Tech for 52 years.

Mr. Robert was born in Monticello, Ga., b u t was living in Brunswick at the time he entered Tech.

His father was working on an engineering project at the time and it was his purpose to send his 15-yearold son to Tech in the sub-freshman class to prepare him for Cornell University.

But young "Chip" liked Tech so well after overcoming his initial reception that he stayed on through the regular course and took a post-graduate course and left Tech to begin a career which has reached a point where he is one of the country's most successful business men today. He also has won some of t h e highest honors in the national political field.

He was graduated from Georgia Tech in 1908 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering and in 1909 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He was an honor student in his scholastic work and in athletics and was never required to take an examination, other than those in (Continued Next Page)

New Chemistry Building Ready

Dean Hill Dies in Atlanta

"We've seen lo|s bigger, but none better," state Doctors Daniels arid "'Spicer regarding Tech's new Chemistry Building. The modernity and efficiency of its design are;;;said to place Tech's Chemistry Department amdri|Âť; t h e best accommodated in the country. At the presfehtrate of construction, the building will be r e a d y ' f o r occupancy the beginning of next term.

Dean Hill, 1912, former captain of the 1910 football team at Georgia Tech and nationally prominent alumnus, died at the Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta on July 15. Mr. Hill was on a visit to his Alma Mater and Atlanta friends when a long illness again caused his hospitalization and, despite all care and attention, resulted in his death.

Although his sons and brother were in the armed forces and other members of his family at distant points, they reached his bedside before his death.

Head Coach W. A. Alexander was a constant standby and loyal attendant on his friend and classmate, along with many others; and the Ga. Tech Alumni Association and the New York Ga. Tech Club paid marked tribute to him as a friend and former official of both the associations.

President of the Mercerizers Association of America and of the Durene Association, manufacturers and promoters of the use of mercerized cloth, Dean Hill was also an authority on collegiate football and author of "Football Through the Years," a history of the sport. He lived at the Hotel Vanderbilt, P a r k Avenue and Thirty-fourth Street, New York, and was 53 years old at the time of his death.

A native of Gloversville, N. Y., where he was buried, Mr. Hill attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N. H., for a year and then enrolled in Georgia Tech. He played football throughout his college career, being elected captain of the Georgia Tech varsity team in 1910. When he moved to New York he joined the Touchdown Club, an organization devoted to promoting the game. He was president of the club in 1938 while engaged in writing his book.

Mr. Hill's two sons, Dean Hill, Jr., and Mark Hill, were versatile athletes at Princeton University a few years ago. Dean, Jr., was a fullback on the Princeton football team and a captain of the college baseball team. Mark was a letter man in basketball and baseball. Dean, Jr., is now an ensign in the naval air service and Mark is training in San Antonio, Texas, for a commission in the A r m y Air Forces.

Also surviving Mr. Hill are his wife, Mrs. Hazel Hill, and his lovely daughter, Mrs. Paul E. Morgan, of Washington.

Costing about $95,000, the new structure will relieve the present acute congestion of the Chemistry Department, providing ample space for at least three existing laboratories, three entirely new laboratories, a machine shop, library, and greatly enlarged post graduate facilities. The unit's opening in October is mainly due to the "extraordinary foresight" of Professor Gailey, of the Architecture Department, in placing large orders for the needed materials, last summer. In fact, the only thing that has had to be completely abandoned are the all-metal doors and door frames. A great deal of credit is due Professor Gailey also for his ceaseless efforts to accelerate construction.

Among the most modern features are the blue heat-ray-absorbing windows on the east and south sides. While absorbing the glare and heat-emitting rays, the windows are large enough to admit ample illumination. Making an enormous contribution to efficient upkeep are the tile-walled laboratories and acoustic board ceilings. A welcome innovation to lab students will be steam and hot water taps at all tables, fluorescent lighting, and A.C. and D.C. connections. A needed safety feature is a shower for dousing burning clothes in the organic laboratories.

To date only one article necessary to the completed building has been unobtainable—the suction fans for operating the hoods. However, as the building will not house freshman and sophomore labs, this will not prevent its being occupied on schedule. "Anyway," commented Dr. Daniel, "it will not be a hardship, for there were no fans in the present building for the first twenty years."

Semi-micro analysis, spectography and glass blowing will be the work of the three entirely new labs.

L. W. "Chip" Robert Gives Freshman Reception Site—(Cont'd.) which there were no exemptions, during his entire six years at the college. He became a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, the T. N. E. interfraternity, and was one of the first members of Anak, the senior honorary society, and Student -Council which his class organized. He was also associated with the beginning and publication of the "Blue Print," the college annual.

In athletics, Mr. Robert served as captain of both the baseball and football teams in 1908, captain of the cross-country team in 1906. He earned 12 letters, a record still unequaled in Tech athletics.

The first medal of achievement delivered by Tech to its graduates was presented to Mr. Robert. This is the gold "T" signifying outstanding achievement since leaving the college. He is a member of the O.D.K. Since leaving college Mr. Robert has won some of the highest honors of the country in engineering and national politics. His firm, Robert and Company, architects and engineers, is now the largest firm of its kind in the United States and probably in the world.

This firm has grown constantly since it started business in 1917.

Mr. Robert now has in his employment more than 100 Georgia Tech men. His company has handled more than a billion dollars worth of engineering work in the United States, principally in the Southeast and Southwest, and Bermuda, Porto Rico and Mexico.

After the election of President Roosevelt the first time, Mr. Robert was named Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He resigned this post in 1936 and became Secretary of the National Democratic Executive Committee, which position he held until after the re-election of President Roosevelt in 1940.

Mr. Robert is director of many corporations, including the Central of Georgia and the M., D. & S. Railroads, and chairman of the board of Alabama Mills, the largest textile mills in Alabama.

Among the big projects either finished or now in the course of construction by Robert and Company in this section are the Conley warehouse at Conley, Ga., the Naval Air Station at old Camp Gordon and the Bell bomber plant near Marietta.

Among other big projects of the company are the naval air bases at Bermuda and San J u a n and the largest naval air stations in the world at Jacksonville and Pensacola, Fla., and Corpus Christi, Texas.

THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

Secretary's Report for 1941-'42

Harry Thompson, '12, Dies

Despite trying conditions throughout the world and locally, the Georgia Tech National Aluihni Association continues to grow in a most encouraging manner.

In addition to the added work of the alumni office, by virtue of the growth of the Association, the war and other emergencies have increased the duties of the office in manifold ways.

At the very outset, it may be said that the alumni officers, board members and the staff in t h e alumni quarters, have all considered it a distinct privilege and a pleasant duty to have had a share in serving the Nation, the State, Georgia Tech, the alumni and the students, through the Georgia Tech Alumni Association; although that alone represents but a part of the services that many of the same group have given to the United States, to civic affairs, and to their respective businesses.

The great amount of informative work through correspondence and by direct contact is in itself quite a field of endeavor; to this must be added registrar duties which go along with it and which embody the recording of personnel data on the thousands of alumni of the college.

Mr. Harry T. Thompson, E.E. 1912, died at his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 19, in his fifty-fourth year of age.

District manager of the Metal Thermit Corp., and Vice-President of the Differential Steel Car Company, Mr. Thompson was nationally prominent in his business interests; he was also outstanding in civic affairs and a leader in Georgia Tech activities during and since his undergraduate days.

Mr. Thompson is survived by his wife and a sixteen-year-old son.

In connection with the foregoing, it is a matter of great and justifiable pride to state that 2,000 or more of our alumni are now in the armed forces of the United States and that their numbers are being materially augmented, day by day. Compilations on their records were started by our office over a year ago and we began publishing the information in the September 1941 issue of the GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S and have continued to do so ever since. This will form the basis of the Alumni Association's "History of Georgia Tech Alumni in World W a r I I . " W e plan further to hold exercises at the Homecoming gathering this fall to honor our "Gold Star" heroes and all other alumni of the armed forces, and to present the college with a testimonial to them of our respect, affection and esteem.

The 1941 Homecoming during the week-end of t h e Tech-Georgia football game, November 29, was one of the best and largest attended of all times.

Due to the present strenuous conditions as to travel, hotel accommodations and the like, it is quite probable that the 1942 celebration of like n a t u r e will necessarily be somewhat "streamlined."

Coach W. A. Alexander has again come to the fore and has kindly stated that all alumni, their families and friends will be cordially welcomed at the new Athletic Office Building, on the northwest corner of Grant Field, corner of Fowler and Third Streets, where they may make their rendezvous headquarters, should they desire to, during the major athletic seasons particularly. The handsome structure is modern in every detail and with its ample lobby, an alumni registration-information desk and the like, the building will prove quite a convenience and hospitable gathering center.

At this point it is well to remember that ALUMNI MEMBERSHIP CARDS ADMIT THE MEMBERS TO FOOTBALL PRACTICES; except, of course, when practices are closed to students and all.

Compilation and publication of the Geographical Alumni Directory by classes is being continued, and the information is published in the current issues of our magazine. Six thousand or more cards are mailed annually to the alumni for up-to-date personnel data on themselves, in this activity alone.

With the demands far exceeding the supply, our placement work has been hard but most encourag-

Secretary's Report—(Cont'd) ing. Of the thousand or more alumni who have either directly or indirectly contacted the Alumni Office or the very efficient Personnel Office of the College, all have been referred to good or better positions, or their names have been given to prospective employers; and, as far as w e know, all are employed in business, essential industry, or in the armed forces or other services of the United States.

In line with the foregoing, your Secretary was named as one of a selected group to aid in the procurement of highly qualified engineers, principally as prospects for commissioned officers in the Army Air Forces; and a highly valued letter of thanks on behalf of the Army Air Forces has been received in appreciation of our efforts. M a y it be promptly added that it is indeed an honor to have the privilege of serving in this fine work and in any other connection for our Nation.

The officers and all the members of the Board of the Alumni Association have worked faithfully and hard in behalf of Georgia Tech in the many matters of prime importance that have come before them.

They have held many and frequently long conferences and have appointed committees of outstanding alumni to help handle all affairs in an intelligent and helpful manner and to the best interests of the college.

Several years ago, Mr. Bob Wilby proposed that the seniors be given some real experience in the important business of interviewing prospective employers for jobs; or, at least, in interviewing interested alumni for very helpful advice in this regard.

Last spring the work was not carried on quite so well as the previous year, due no doubt to the tremendous amount of work that had devolved upon everyone and, too, to the fact that the seniors had more openings offered to them than they could possibly consider. The plan is an excellent one, as all so well recognize, and the Personnel Department intends to follow it through more in detail this coming fall and spring.

Some of the class secretaries have already started to work on their class reunion plans for Homecoming, which is scheduled to be held during the time of the Tech-Alabama football game in Atlanta on November 14. As previously mentioned, war and travel conditions may cause everything to be of a streamline nature but those who are present intend to "carry on" for their absent classmates.

In conclusion, our grateful thanks are extended to our Alumni Officers and to the Board and Committee Members, for their many meetings and sincere work in behalf of Georgia Tech and the Alumni Association, and to all of you who have contributed so much, along with them, for the good of Georgia Tech, the State, and the Nation.

Fine Service Record Reports from America's far-flung war fronts indicate that Georgia Tech graduates of both the military and naval units are making a record that should furnish an inspiration to every one of the present ramblin' 'recks.

In the fleet at present are between four and five hundred Tech graduates, with every member of the J u n e Naval R.O.T.C. class on active duty. Unofficial reports are current that twenty-seven Tech naval officers are participating in the Solomon Islands attack.

Special honors have been conferred on several of the recent graduates. Gene Schottler, who finished in 1941, has been decorated for his work aboard one of the Pacific fleet submarines. Robert Clinkscales, who completed his work at the naval unit in 1939 and then went into the A r m y Air Corps, has received decorations for his bravery with the Philippines Air Force.

Probably the outstanding achievement by a Tech man so far is that of Craig Davis, who edited The Technique two years ago and was a cadet captain in the infantry unit. In a recent aptitude test given to all of the younger officers in Australia, he ranked first and has now been placed on General Douglas MacArthur's staff.

Favorable reports on Tech military men constantly come in. This only emphasizes further the fact that American college students have a definite place in the war effort. Tech men have a tradition to uphold and a duty to perform.

T H E GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

September-October,

1942

Marshall and Plaster Head Varsity Jack Marshall, Tech's star end, was recently elected to lead the Jacket football squad this year. Ralph Plaster, well known around the flats for his ball carrying abilities, was elected alternate captain by his teammates.

Marshall and Plaster are both very active in student activities—Marshall is president of the senior class, is a Lieutenant (j.g.) in the Naval R.O.T.C., and is very active in the " T " club. H e spent his high school days at North Fulton in Atlanta. Jack is the only experienced end the team has. J u s t who will hold down the other side of the line has not definitely been decided, but Helms, Tech's big tackle, is a likely prospect.

Plaster is also an active member of the Tech " T " Club. He is a member of the Anak Honorary Society, and an outstanding member of the Inter fraternity Council. Ralph went to Tech High School in Atlanta before coming to Tech. He is now a member of the senior class.

Football Captain Marshall Senior and Star End

Football Prospects Tech doesn't send out invitations to practice; just a notice suffices, and out of the 80 or 90 men responding around 35 are selected for the varsity squad.

Tech's leading backfield prospects for this fall include Eddie Prokop, J i m Luck, Bobby Dodd, Ralph Plaster, Wilbur Stein, Jack Hancock, P a t McHugh, Bobby Sheldon, and Al Faulkner.

Mutt Manning returns to take over the center duties. The other first flight linesmen include Ed Ryckley and Harvey Hardy, guards; West, Anderson and Helms, tackles, and Marshall, end.

Line material is a bit slim and freshmen could be worked in handily.

All in all, however, Tech expects to show a greatly improved team and there will be more scoring punch and a more spectacular attack by the varsity this fall.

The accelerated school year has given Coach Alexander one of his best conditioned squads in years with which to begin a n e w season. The first year rule promises him several players of first-team caliber; among their numbers are Clint Castleberry, Raymond Smith and Bill Healey—the first two from Boys High School, Atlanta, and the latter a Marietta, Ga., product of 187 pounds, from Baylor School, Chattanooga.

Although Coach Alexander has not divulged his plans, it appears that a lot hinges on Healey. Should he come through it would enable the Jackets to keep Jack Helms at end, where he has been working as J a c k Marshall's running mate. Helms has been shifted from tackle in an effort to make up for the loss of Harry A r t h u r and George Webb.

This move, however, is still in the experimental stage, its permanency depending on the development of other tackle prospects.

Tech will be heavier than usual this year. The tentative first team averages 193 pounds as compared with 186 for last year's starters. The Jackets will be able to field a second eleven weighing 187 pounds.

These are t h e figures on a squad that, with an exception or two, is peeled down to playing condition.

An encouraging factor so far is the passing of Tailback Bobby Sheldon. The former Boys High third stringer has been hitting his targets and this is a good sign that he will be ready for high-class performance this fall. He will be well supported by other passers who know how to rifle or float t h e ball, as the case may be, to fleet and deceptive receivers.

THE GEORGIA TECH A L U M N U S

"Gold Star" Alumni Bobby Beers, ' 4 1 . Lieutenant Bobby Beers' family of Newnan, Georgia, were recently notified by the Adjutant General in Washington of the death of the Georgia Tech football star in an airplane accident on August 11, in England.

Beers played in the Orange Bowl game of J a n u a r y 1, 1940, and only slightly taller than J o h n n y Bosch himself, and a slender and apparently fragile athlete, went on the following season to fill the role of wingback to replace Gibson and Wheby.

"A flier, and a good one," said Coach Alexander, who also had been apprised of the sad news. "Bobby was very keen to get into the service, and left school before his graduation, which would have been in the spring of 1941. . . . A game and gallant football player, too. Slight of build, he was injured early in his last season with us and couldn't play regularly, but he went well against Georgia, scoring a touchdown, and he was always ready to give the best he had."

Twenty-five y e a r s , old, Bobby Beers was born in Newnan and attended school there and at Monroe.

He entered Tech in 1936 and left in 1941 to train for the A r m y Air Corps at Kelley Field.

Aviation Cadet H. Burtz Boulware, 1935, lost his life in a twin-engined bomber crash on J u n e 9, 1942, near Raivil, Miss.

Boulware was an end on the Tech football team; guard and forward on the basketball team and star member and captain of the tennis team. He was at Tech from 1931 to 1934.

He was one of the best tennis players in the state of Georgia and a regular competitor in city, state and sectional events before moving to Orlando, Fla., after his marriage to Miss Virginia Merryman, popular member of Atlanta's social set.

Second Lieut. J. J. Fields, 1942, lost his life with 17 others when an A r m y transport plane crashed in the Berkshire Hills, Massachusetts, on August 15.

Lieutenant Fields was the only child of Mrs. Ethel Fields of Atlanta, Ga., who was notified by the War Department of the death of her son.

He was 21 years old and entered Georgia Tech from the Austell, Georgia, High School in 1938. At t h e end of his junior year he volunteered for the U. S. Air Corps and after basic training he received his wings at Turner Field, Albany, Ga., on May 20. He was on a transport mission at the time of his death.

Aviation Cadet John D. (Mickey) Finn, 1942, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Finn of Atlanta, lost his life Thursday, May 21, when attempting to parachute from a basic trainer, near Randolph Field, Texas, while on a routine instrument training flight..

Finn was called into service in December. H e was

president of his class at Randolph and a cadet lieutenant. At Bruce Field he was cadet squadron leader.

Finn also made a fine record at Fulton High and Tech. He was a colonel in the R.O.T.C. at Fulton and a leader at Tech, w h e r e he was to have been battalion commander of the Naval R.O.T.C. unit during his senior year but which he forewent, however, in order to get into active duty.

Edgar D. Ferrell, Ga. Tech 1938, was killed in a plane crash at Valdosta, Georgia, on August 31, 1941, according to recently published information that has been received by the alumni office.

Other Georgia Tech "Gold Star" heroes as previously published, are: Lieut. Cargill Barnett, Atlanta, lost his life overseas early this year. Lieut. Barnett attended Ga. Tech in 1936.

Lieut. Wm. T. Bolton, a former student, was killed on March 23 in an air plane crash during bombardier training at Idessa, Texas.

Lieut. H. C. Chandler, a student at Tech in 1941, lost his life early this summer in an airplane crash.

Ensign Willard H. James, I.M. 1938, was lost on a seaplane from the cruiser St. Louis on Oct. 16, 1941.

Ensign R. H. McKown, Aero. Eng., 1937, was lost when his plane went down while flying from Newfoundland to Iceland on J u l y 3, 1941.
