Shipshape! That’s the word for Tech. The man in charge of seeing that it is kept that way is Mr. John Atherton, head of the custodial staff. The faces of many of his crew are familiar to us on our cruise through Tech. The women on the staff are: Birdie Aiken, Nellie Connors, and Mary Feriola. The men are: Dominick Bianchi, Vernoll Bigelow, David Duncan, William LaVallee, James Crowley, Gerald McCarthy, Thomas O’Connor, Carl Persson, and Francis Sears. Some of the best years of our lives are spent at Tech, and we are grateful to the people who keep it a pleasant place. Unlike a navy ship, our galley crew is ‘““manned”’ by women. Mrs. Elin Tillan is head cook of the dietitic staff. The other members of the mess crew are: Mrs. Ida Bolduc, Mrs. Goldie Deyo, Mrs Mildred Hannigan, Mrs. Mary Lura, Mrs. Hilda McCombe and Mrs. Josephine Saracino. The people who keep the records straight are a necessary part of the mess department. The office crew are: Mrs. Lena Cessarini, Mrs. Mabel Davis, Miss Lillian O’Connor, Mrs. Isabella Ouimet and Mrs. Alice Vail. All of these people work toward making Tech’s lunches the best possible for us. Left to right: Mildred Hannigan, Hilda McCombe, Ida Bolduc, Elin Tillan, Mary Lura, Josephine Saracino, Goldie Deyo.
