Class of 192.5 President Willis J. Snow Vice-President Helen S. Burdick Secretary Louisa B. Latham Treasurer John J. Call an an Assistant Treasurer Vera I. Swan Honorary Member Harold W. Browning In the fall of ’2.1 our campus was enlivened by a large group of progressive youngsters, green as usual, numbering one hundred and fifty-eight and full of pep, every mother ' s son of them. We proceeded to get into the market for radiators, tickets to the Biscuit City theatre and various and sundry other commodities which every Freshman demands on his advent. Owing to procrastination and the rapid entry of drab and chilly winter we did not have the pleasure of pulling the Sophs thru Underwoods Pond that year. How- ever, we succeeded in trimming the wise boys of ’2.4 in both football and baseball, showing thereby the undeniable versatility and prowess of the then green Frcshics. We broke into the social whirl at a Freshman informal held in Lippitt hall one memorable Friday night. At this affair the banner of 1915 was first unfurled. The boys of ' 14 tried several times to capture the banner but they were up against a perfect combination and masterful team work, with the result that the banner was retained easily by the class of ' 2.5. Having come through the Frosh stage with flying colors and an added zest for the following years the class returned in the fall of ' 2.2.. The incoming Frcshics suc- ceeded after a hard tussle in pulling ' 2.5 through Underwoods Pond, but we retali- ated with compound interest by winning decisively the football game. We also beat the class of ' 2.6 in the Freshman-Sophomore Debate and the baseball game. It was during this year that the class put over a very successful Soph Hop. In the fall of ' 2.3 the class returned very much depleted in numbers but the sur- vivors were strongly imbued with the old R. I. spirit by this time and determined to carry on the good work of the past. During the year we ran the festivities of Junior week including a very credible Prom. The co-eds were defeating all rivals in basket- ball and the outstanding players of the champion team were of the class of ' 2.5. In football, basketball, baseball, and track the class has contributed more than its due share of Varsity material each year. Members are also found in large numbers in Phi Delta and in the Debating Society. At the close of the year the class ran a very successful Commencement Ball. Having come thru the scathing period of the Freshman year, the vigilant, hypercritical period of the Sophomore year and the busy, quiet and earnest plugging of the Junior year we returned in the fall of ' 14 to begin the last lap of our college life. Very different from the verdant group that arrived in ' 11, we set about the business of graduation with an earnest purpose and the usual dignified demeanor. During this year the class showed its versatility to a marked degree. Every society and activity on the campus claimed the leadership of the Seniors. We were a very busy class of Seniors getting the Grist ready for publication and sale. Despite the frenzied finance of this hectic year we succeeded in carrying on our various projects with success. Now that the end of a busy and happy four years ' sojourn on the campus is here we arc about to leave with confidence that the same success that characterized our activities in college will follow us out into the world of industry and achievement.

Walter Harold Ahlborg, A X A Providence, R. I. Olaf” Wally Civil Engineering Corporal (i); Engine ering Society, Masonic Club. Olaf has attended M. I. T. for part of his education, but he has spent most of his time with us, hence we give him greater credit and esteem him higher for having the good sense in picking the best engineering school of the two. Wally keeps both Lanza and Pa Webster” busy thinking up catching engineering problems in vain endeavor to stop him, but to no avail. Our hero was there when it came to practical prob- lems also. During his spare time Wally is kept busy by the AhlborgCon- struction Company, and has proved that he can mix cement with the best of them. He has taken no less than five special trips to Portland, Maine, to get the “inside on the special process of making Portland Cement. A structural engineer of the future; bon voyage Wally . Janet Sophia Allen Fall River, Mass. ’Jan Applied Science In the year 1913, our sophomore year, there came into our midst, a sweet brown-eyed Miss from Southern College, Virginia. Although she was a shy, quiet Miss whom few really knew, there was one person on the campus who discovered her. She surprised us all by announcing her marriage this year — a charmingly youthful and courageous act. We wish Mrs. Bliss all the joy and happiness in the world. Evariste Albert Arnold Pawtucket, R. I. Al The Kid Electrical Engineering Sergeant (3); Lieutenant (4); Track (3) (4); Member A. 1. E. E. Al is another of Pawtucket ' s famous sons. During the first two years of his career here at Kingston we didn ' t see much of him for he practiced the art of commuting. The Kid is a soldier of great ability, having gained the title of “hard-boiled lieutenant , during his so|ourn at Camp Devens. The Coach ' s Sedate Senior studies when he isn ' t correcting work for Tip or Prof Bills. He has been interested in all college activities and we hope will have made his R. I. in track by the time you read this. Al has devoted his days here mostly in Lippitt studying the mys- teries of the E. E. course and expects to become affiliated with the G. E. when he gets his sheepskin. We have never noticed any special weakness for the fair sex, but rumor has it that he spends his Sunday afternoons at Saunderstown. Be this as it may, we all know his ability as an E. E. and arc sure he will have a bright and prosperous future.
