Backward we bend our gaze, Over the nights of laughter; Over the gladness of days. Hours that for us, now, are over, Sped years that come not again, Memories that bring to the parting A sadness akin to pain. Loath are we now to leave it — Wisdom ' s familiar face. We turn; we follow the Future, For linger here we must not. Behind us — the past with its pleasures; Before us — we know not what! ‘Beautiful and sheltering, the ivy clings. . . “To scatter plenty o ' er a smiling land. ' From the meadow your walks have left so sweet. ' “ This is the place. Even here the dauntless soul. The unflinching hand, wrought on . . . “ passed beside the reverent halls In which of old I wore the gown.” Rhode Island State College Corporation Hon. Walter E.

POTH1ER Governor of Rhode Island THE, GRIST Governor Pothier s Message I rejoice that each period of my service as Governor of Rhode Island has wit- nessed incidents of marked significance for the development and progress of Rhode Island State College. I had the honor of approving the resolution whereby an appro- priation was made for the construction of Science Hall; East Hall also was built during my earlier administration — 1909-1915. The approval by the people in the biennial election of 1926 of a proposed bond issue for the benefit of the college, which I urgently recommended in my inaugural message in 1925, will make available £600,000 for the construction of a building for the Engineering Department, proper library facilities, a suitable gymnasium, and other accommodations commensurate with the reasonable growth of the college. I have been impressed during my career as a public officer, and as a private citizen, by the qualities of the graduates of Rhode Island State College and their service in public life and in connection with our industrial enterprises. I attribute their significant contribution to our civic life to the spirit of the institution; to the constructive influence of its teaching faculty; and the moral leadership of the presi- dent and other officers. In this brief mention of only a few of the good things I would write of Rhode Island State College had I the opportunity to do so, I wish to include my commenda- tion of Hon. Howard Edwards, who as president has given to the college unselfishly and unstintedly years of the best that have been his to give. His impress upon the characters of his students has been formative and constructive. Rhode Island is vastly richer for his residence among her citizens. A. J. Pothier Governor of Rhode Island Nineteen HONORABLE HOWARD EDWARDS. A M., LL.D. President of Rhode Island State College President Edwards Message 1 he finest thing in life is character, and the great business of living is the build- ing of character, which is the resultant of all one’s yieldings and all one’s strivings, working upon a more or less plastic inheritance of individuality. With our physical bodies we inherit the driving power of passions and emotions. The building of char- acter lies in developing strength of will and sureness of judgment to direct, control, and refine passion and emotion. This it is that makes one captain of one’s own soul; master of his own fate. “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers,” says Tennyson, and the wisdom he means is just this slow and painful process of building character; of making oneself captain of one’s own soul; of placing at the helm of one’s own life ship an intelligent pilot — sure of judgment to lay the course and strong of will to hold it. Much of the teaching of today fills me with distressful forboding. It stresses the dominance of inclination and desire; it talks much of “self-expression.” The old, puritan way of life unduly emphasized self-denial and repression. We of today have gone to the more dangerous extreme of canonizing ease and pleasure, and haloing every vagrant impulse of the human heart. Surely, all the teachings of our slow progress from savagery and barbarism can- not be misleading, nor are we ready to declare obsolete the words, duty, honor, truth, and love. The secret of all our progress has been and still is, “Per aspera ad astra.” Howard Edwards Twenty-one THJEi GFLlST GEORGE E. ADAMS, M.Agr. Dean of Agriculture Dean of Men C. LLOYD SWEETING.

THE GRJCST To Alma Mater There are no splendid halls to attract us; No chimes from a chapel ring clear; Yet our hearts throb with love of our college; Her name shall we hold ever dear. A beautiful world lies about her, Fair valley and green, w ooded hill, At memories of glorious sunsets Our hearts in the future shall thrill. Within the gray walls of her buildings Her sons and her daughters abide. And filled with the keen zest of living They look up to her as their guide. Then each in the joy of his purpose, Be it building of bridge or machine, Or searching the secrets of science To learn what its mysteries mean, Or planning for home or for business. Or studying the make-up of soil, Strives on at the task of his calling, And friendliness lightens his toil. And, moreover, in keen competition At contests of brawn or of brain, The athlete, debator, and actor Endeavors success to attain. With the passing of each generation Of students who honor her name, There is born greater love and devotion; There is won greater glory and fame. And ne’er shall her work be completed, And ne’er shall her duty be done, Till her final degree is awarded; Till the last of her children are gone. Raymond T. Perron Laura E. Murray Mildred L. Thompson Eldorous E. Martin Hazel E. Gage Claude G. Hammond . President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Faculty Member Pour years ago the trains from Providence, Westerly, and way stations dropped off at Kingston a group of fresh and green youngsters, the pick of the high schools and prep schools of this and neighboring States. The Class of ’27 soon became acclimated and, from outward appearances at least, assumed the dignity and decorum of the typical college youth. Entering soon into the whirl of activities, social and otherwise, we had an earnest determination to achieve success commensurate with that of our early training in the high schools. The activities list of the class shows very plainly how loyally we served our Alma Mater. As Freshmen, members of the Class of ’27 showed real ability in all phases of athletics. In following years these same athletes proved invaluable to Coach Keaney’s Varsity teams. The athletic ability of the co-eds earned for them great praise, which was due to their excellent basketball and hockey teams. Now that the sun is setting on our college careers, after having brightened the way for four short years, we of the Class of ’27 will go out into the world of affairs with the determination to succeed. It is with feelings of sadness and regret that we take leave of dear Rhode Island where we spent the happiest of our days. George Harold Alexander, B «f ; T K A Pawtucket, R. I. Alex” General Science President T K A (4); Secretary-Treasurer R. I. State College Debating Society (.1); Feature Editor “ Beacon ” 1 2 , 3, 4 ; Polygon 4); Grist Board (4); Intercollegiate Debating ( 2 , 3, 4 1; Captain Xew Hampshire Debating Team (3, 4); Tau Kappa Alpha ( 2 , 3, 4); Polygon (4). “Alex” arrived here at the beginning of our Sophomore year, having spent his Freshman year at Brown, and to that university we extend our thanks for a staunch and loyal Rhode Island man. George’s only handicap is his stature, and when the Senior Class picture was taken he was obliged to hold one hand aloft in order to be able to show his future offspring where he stood. He is a stellar debater, indulging in intercollegiate debating as a pas- time. His future is a secret, but from his excellent scholastic achievements we rather expect to find him, in a year or so, a serious, good-natured Prof, in some large university. Olive Frances Allebacgh, 2 K Providence, R. I. “Dud” “Ollie” General Science Class Basketball ( , 2, J. 4); farsity Basketball (J, 4); Student Council (J), President Student Council (4); Treas- urer Y. IF. C. A. (3, 4); Panhellenic 3, 4); Chemical Society (2, 3, 4); Hockey ( 2 , 3. 4). Her middle name is “hustle.” You’ll find her hustling with so much energy from one day to another that she has to take time out once in a while to sleep two or three days. As an athlete. Olive has shown herself in the class of all-round athletes — basketball, hockey, tennis, and baseball are all managed with equal skill. To work with Dud” is to learn something of interest every minute; to play with her is to leam something of the care-free and irresponsible collegiare life. Best of luck to you, Olive, may the future be as brilliant as has been these four years at Rhody. Clinton Lakey Armstrong, B t Providence, R. I. “Inkey” Business Administration Freshman Football (I): Student Council ( , 2, 3). Inkev” came to us from Providence Tech, to try out the new Business Administration Course here at R. I., and found that even Professor Sweeting’s “Yes” and “No” tests could not prevent his knocking down good grades with surprising consistency. An injured knee pre- vented his participation in football for the last two years, but he has always been recognized as a strong booster for athletics at R. I. It was Inkey’s” six points in the Freshman-Sophomore game that forced the Freshmen of 1928 to wear their little caps an extra month. We expect his winning personality and genial good humor to lead him over easy paths in his future business career. Muriel Arnold, X Li Saylesville, R. I. “Polly” Home Economics Assistant Class Treasurer (1, 2, 3); Freshman Banquet Committee; Soph Hop Committee; Junior Prom Committee Class Basketball ( 2 , 4); Track ( , 2, 3, 4); Hockey (l, 2 , 3 , 4);Delegate to Y. IF. C. A. Conference at Swampscott (3); Delegate to Maqua (3); Commencement Play (3); House President (4). Behold this charming Miss from Saylesville — oh, yes! There is such a place — it is an ideal land of haymakers. “Polly” came to R. I. State to follow the pursuits of “Home Ec,” and claims now that her amibtion is to teach — near home. We question this, however, because her keen appreciation of the agriculture, and her prefer- ence for Aggies above all others, tells us something differ- ent. In “Polly” we find a willing and able worker, but one never broadcasts her accomplishments. Just watch this member of ' 27 and see how long teaching claims her. Howard Francis Asher, 0 X Newport, R. I. “Firpo Electrical Engineer Grist Board (4); E. E. Society (3, 4); Officers ' Club ( 3 . 4); Captain Rope Pull ( . 2) Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Captain Basketball , Sergeant (3); Lieutenant (4); R. 1. Club (_ 3, 4); Basketball Referee. Foul! Shoot twice! You hacked him! That’s “Firpo” Asher of Newport where basketball players are born champions. Since “Firpo left the Newport ferry four years ago he has been the greatest basketball sensation that R. I. State has ever seen. The Wakefield Opera House announces “No Attendance” when “Firpo” plays or referees in Lippitt Hall, because the crowds come from all South County to see the Newport iceman do his stuff. This happy-go-lucky fellow is all set for the future, because he has just signed a contract to autograph every package of “Pep.” Richard Lew is Barber, P I K Westerly, R. I. “Dick” Civil Engineering Rope Pull (2): Class Football ( , 2); Varsity Basketball (3, 4) ; Varsity Football (2, 3, 4): Captain Football (4); C. E. Society (3, 4); R. 1. Club (2, 3, 4). “Dick” does not require any lengthy eulogy because his merits are know n to all of us and his record speaks for itself. In athletics he has proved his worth as a hard, loyal worker and a fine leader. We are sure that these qualities will bring him success in any field that he may enter. Although “Dick” has attained a high degree of success in his college activities he has never lost his unassuming nature. Here’s luck to you, “Dick,” and may your bridges” never tumble down. Thirty-five Roland Eugene Beauregard Pawtucket, R. I. Beau” Civil Engineering Class Football ( ); Track Squad ( 3 , 4); C. E. Society (3, 4). “Beau” came to Rhode Island under two great handi- caps — first, he was skilled in the art of keeping books and pounding on a typewriter rather than in pre-engineering subjects; the second and greater handicap is that he haijs from Pawtucket. In spite of his unpromising debut he is to graduate as a C. E. After shining in Economics in his Senior year, “Beau” plans to study business at Columbia. Being a lover of hiking, “Beau” is well versed in the historical and romantic lore of Kingston and the sur- rounding towns. We do not expect to have the new buildings of “Rhody designed or constructed by “Beau,” but never- theless there are other fields where we are sure he will succeed. Benjamin Bloom, B N E Providence, R. I. “Bennie” “Ben” Civil Engineering Baseball ( ); Junior “ Beacon ” Board ( 3 ); Polygon (i, 4); C. E. Society (4); Grist Board (4). “Ben” needs no introduction. We find that as a prod- uct of Classical High School this youth has achieved much as a prospective civil engineer. Oh yes, “Ben is often heard saying to his fellow engineers, “Let’s get together on a bridge,” but most of those bridges he builds with a deck of cards. During that last year of his schooling he was accom- panied by his faithful Ford, and it is a known fact that that contraption has saved him the discomfort of closed Casting all levity aside, we find “Ben” a sincere friend, a fairhful worker, and a true scholar. Leslie Porter Bloomer, C. C. Providence, R. I. “Cherub” “Let” Electrical Engineering E. E. Society (i, 4); Interfraternity Basketball (2, 3, 4); Officers ' Club (3); Sergeant (J). There is very little that gets “in under this gentle- man’s skin except to have his hair pulled. He came here from Tech, in 1923, along with other illustrious under- graduates, to cut a figure not at all commensurate with his stature. We hardly ever have a chance to see his pro- clivities along this line, however, because he’s an inveter- ate week-ender. We ' ll forgive him for his remissness in this detail because of his eternal good nature, which can’t be ruffled by faculty edicts be they ever so severe, or by Lanza’s quizzes. For more intimate details, the curious are referred to Providence “broads in general, and a certain blonde in particular. Robert Franklin Bostock, 0 X Brockton, Mass. “Bob Electrical Engineering Rope Pull (l); Assistant Manager Basketball (3); Man- aging Editor, Junior “ Beacon ” (3); E. E. Society ( 3 , 4). “Bob” is another nu mber of the now famous “Brock- ton Quintet,” alias the “Shoe City Five,” which landed in Kingston in the Fall of ’23, each member determined to make a success of his college career. “Bob” has only two failings; the first is for the speaker sex and the other an attempt to perfect the art of sleeping to the nth degree. His interest in all activities takes up most of his spare time, but he is always willing to devote some of it to those who need a helping hand. “Bob’s” upright character and pleasing personality make us all feel certain of his success in the great college of experience. Robert Henry Brightman, PI K Quononchantau, R. I. “Bob” Agriculture Class Football ( ); Aggie” Club ( , 2, J,), Treasurer (4); Assistant Manager Track ( 2 ), Manager Track (3); Sergeant (J); 2nd Lieutenant (3); 1st Lieutenant (4); Aggie Basel Committee (J. 4); Officers ' Club (3, 4); R. I. Club (3, 4); Grist Board ( 4 ); Military Ball Committee (4). In the four years that our “Bob” has been with us he has made many friends. His smile and cheerful “hi,” no matter what has happened, is a quality we all admire in him. He started out in his Freshman year to get the manager-of-track position, and by his steady, conscien- tious work we saw him gaining his goal. But this alone is not all of “Bob ' s” achievements in in Campus activities, we find him to be one of Claude ' s army men and one of the foremost leaders of the Aggie Club. That organization will feel the loss of a good treas- urer this year. We know that his future success is assured if he con- tinues to smile his way through. C. Kendrick Brown, A X A “Ken” “Brownie” Business Administration Football ( , 2, 3, 4); Baseball (1,2, 3, 4); Polygon (3, 4); Student Council (4); Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Hat Com- mittee (3); Grist Board (4); R. I. Club (3, 4); Economists’ Club (2, 3, 4). Five years ago, from the wilds of East Providence came “Ken” in search of knowledge. Having found this knowledge he left us for the purpose of helping the Governor up in the State House. Having settled all State questions he returned three years ago for the pur- pose of gaining more of that hard-to-get article — knowl- edge! He certainly did get it. We must state here that all of “Brownie’s” wisdom did not come from textbooks. He has indulged in the three famous sports of the American Campus, namely, football, baseball, and co-eding. In the first he was one of the best halfbacks produced at the College; and in the last — well, he is still going strong with no signs of weakening. Kenneth Cottrell Brown, Z II A Tiverton, R. I. “Casey” “Ken” General Science Class Basketball (1, 2); Varsity Basketball Squad ( 2 , 3, 4); Chemical Society (4); Vice-President Student Council (4). Here we have “Ken,” the best plunging fullback ever developed in the Fraternity Football League which has entertained the students of R. I. S. C. on what might have been dull Sunday afternoons. Casey” came to us from the wilds (?) of Tiverton and started his college days as an Engineer, but decided that he could learn more about “boils, and how to get rid of them,” by tak- ing the Applied Science Course. “Ken,” as a first-class waiter, has served many a hungry college youth, and now is at the head of our boarding department — lie is our Head Waiter. “Ken.” we wish you the best of luck in life ' s battles. Raymond Hilton Christopher, B 1 Providence, R. I. “Chris” Mechanical Engineering Secretary-Treasurer R. I. Debating Society ( 4 ); Class Debating (1, 2); Secretary M. E. Society (4); Assistant Track Manager ( 2 ); Tau Kappa Alpha (4); Glee Club ( , 2, 4); Sergeant (3); Lieutenant (4). This sedate-appearing youth is none other than “Chris.” who came to us four years ago as a model little gentleman. He wouldn ' t say “darn” in those days — but how he has changed! From a quiet, unobtrusive, shy lad to a veritable Romeo among womenja careless crumbier of hearts; this is the change wrought bv his days among us. That pursuit of pleasure has left time for the serious aspect of college life may readily he seen by glancing at the list of his Campus activities above. Combining a gift of keen intellect w ith a pleasing personality, “Chris” has commanded the friendship of all who came into con- tact with him. Joseph Edward Clegg, A 2 E; T K A Providence, R. I. “Joe” Business Administration Class Debate ( , 2); Varsity Debate (3), Captain (,4); R. I. Debating Society (1,2, 3, 4); Class Track (1); Varsity Track (3, 4); R. I. Club (3, 4): Economists’ Club (2, 3 , 4); Grist Board (4). Mr. Chairman, Honorable Judges: — Oh, that ' s our “Joe,” one of the best Varsity debaters our college has ever seen. Since his arrival in ' 23 he has been eminent in academic, social, and athletic life. Although getting away to a rather slow start he sure has developed a won- derful stride and is now going in top form. We cannot drop his achievements here, for he was captain of one of our famous debating teams that added another of the Connecticut Aggie scalps to our string. Best of luck in the future, “Joe.” old boy! Thirty-eight J2. THE. GRJtST Richard Alan Corimn, A X A Edgewood, R. I. “Dick” “Baldy” Business Administration Class Football ( , 2); Class Track ( ); Varsity Track Squad ( 2 ); Soph Hop Committee (2); Junior Prom Com- mittee (3); Economist’s Club ( 2 , 3), President (4); Art Editor Grist (4). “Bang! Bang!” And “Dick” had arrived, and com- pleted the firstof his manycollege near-disasters. Dick” wasted no time in becoming one of the leaders of the class and, as a Senior, he still operates in the same capacity. After a close inspection of the accompanying photograph one might conclude that the photographer had said “see the birdie,” but you are mistaken, for a Frosh had just asked “Baldy” why he parted his hair so high. Early in the Fall of 1924 he discovered that a co-edery existed on the Campus! If “Dick” enters business with the same initiative and personality that have characterized his college career, his future is assured. The best of luck to you, “Dick,” you have been an asset to our college and to our class. Percival Neller Creaser, C. C. Providence, R. I. “Perc” “Bizwink” Mechanical Engineering Officers ' Club (3, 4); Sergeant (3): Lieutenant (4); Assistant Manager Baseball (4); Junior Beacon” Board (3); Rifle Team (3, 4), Assistant Manager Rifle Team (4 ; M. E. Society (3, 4). HURRAY for that Army!” says this young gentle- man. “Perc” has been in the army ever since he came here in 1923, and is still going strong. He has haunted the M. E. Labs, and harassed the profs into such expla- nations that he has been able to obtain a very desirable scholastic standing. After he graduates from this in- stitution, he intends to utilize some of the valuable infor- mation that he has received here and put itintopractice. With your ability, “Perc,” we know that you will aim well and score high on the target of life. Romeo Alphonso DeBucci, A A V Providence, R. I. “Buck” “Ro” Business Administration Rope Pull (1 , 2); “ Beacon Board ( , 2); Economist’s Club ( 2 , 3, 4). Secretary ( 2 , 3); Soph Hop Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Varsity Track Squad (2, 3 ' , 4); Varsity Football (3, 4); R. . Club (4); Polygon (3, 4). Yes, ’tis “Buck ! Coming down from Tech, in ’23, “Ro” was accepted as one of us without hesitation. His mirth has rocked our class from that fateful year of matriculation to the beautiful days of Commencement. He is the essence of good humor but is never lacking in a retort and is stamped with originality. Sincere to an extreme in his endeavors, of an intrigu- ing personality, humorous beyond the power of descrip- tion, with a quick-grasping mentality — these are but a few of his outstanding characteristics in the eyes of his hosts of friends. Thirty-nine John James Devine Providence, R. I. “Jimmie” Civil Engineering C. E. Society ( 3 , 4); Honors (3, 4). Here you see “Mickey” himself; much wiser than when, as a Freshman, he tried to join Captain Ham- mond ' s Cavalry Unit at Biscuit City. Those were the days, though — with the “Wild Wells ' House Gang”— the days when “down the line” was irresistible. We see Jim in a new role during the second year, spar- ring with Battling Bill for the world ' s championship at the Connecticut game rally. Coming along to the Junior Year, Jim suddenly found the C. E. course so interesting that scholastic honors came as a matter of course. And in the last year he was seen surveying the Campus for the location of the new building and also watching the old ones at night. Mabel Evangeline Dimond, X U, A Pascoag, R. I. Vangie” “Dan” Home Economics Phi Delta ( 2 , 3, 4); Honors ( , 3); Y. IP. Finance Com- mittee (2), Y. IF. Vice-President (3), Y. IF. President (4); Varsity Flower Judging Team (2); Home Economics Club (3); Delegate to M aqua (2); IFomen’s Federation Scholar- ship ( 2 , 3); Freshman Reception Committee (4 1; Student Council ( ). Vangie,” by her continuous enacting of intelligent sympathy has won the friendship and admiration of us all. Be not deceived, for beneath the shell of conscien- tious attitude and seraphic smile a soul of mischief slumbers. During her Sophomore Year, “Dan” distinguished herself as Varsity member of the flower-judging team. As a scholar, leader, and manager, Evangeline is equally successful. In fact, in the art of living she is wholly efficient. James Donald. Jr., A X A Baltimore, Md. “Jim” “Monkey” “Monk” Business Administration Rope Pull (7, 2); Class Treasurer (I): Freshman Foot- ball and Basketball-. Class President (2); Varsity Football (2, 4); Varsity Basketball (2); Class Hat Committee (3); Soph Hop Committee (2); Junior Prom Committee (3); Secretary Economist’s Club ( 4 ); President Student Council ( 4 ); Subscription Manager Grist 14); Sergeant (3); Lieutenant (4); Officers’ Club (3, 4); R. I. Club (2. 3, 4). Here we have him. Ladies and Gentlemen, right off the Gilt Edge Special. The man from Lord knows where. This bouncing young man while on a trip from the South got off at the wrong station and, before he awoke, he had signed the “contract. Since then he has participated in all of our outdoor and indoor sports, winning his R. I. in football and his “C in co-eding. Claude ' s Army is also a big favorite with “Monkey. and who can tell but that we may have a future Gene Tunney after he enters the Marines: Forty John Michael Droitcour, AS E Edgewood, R. I. “Johnnie” Mechanical Engineering Class Track ( , 2); Varsity Track ( 2 , 3, 4); R. I. Club ( 2 , 3, 4); M. E. Society (J), President (4); Grist Board (4); Student Council (4); Honors [2). Who’s that running down the track with a mighty bamboo pole? Why, that’s “Johnny,” Rhody’s champ pole-vaulter on his way to a new record. “Johnnie” isn’t satisfied with athletic prowess alone but is also a con- sistent performer scholastically. For three years he has been a credit to the track team, and as a reward re- ceived an “A” in P.T. His physical perfections acclaim him as the one and only answer to “Why girls leave home.” We congratulate him. Just a fine, clean sportsmanlike pal to all who know him, a hard worker, and a good friend. The best of luck when you leave us, “Johnnie.” Jacob Dubovick Providence, R. I. “Jakie” “Duby” General Science Varsity Track Squad (3, 4). Behold our day student from Providence! Duby” came to Kingston for the purpose of receiving a scienti- fic education, and soon made up his mind to become acquainted with most of the fellows on the Campus. Besides college studies, “Jakie” learned a great deal during his travels from the large city. In spite of being a day student, “Duby” found time to take part in our track activities. We know that the future will hold nothing but success for this day student who has consistently burnt mid night oil for four years. Charles Fenner Easterrrooks, W X Newport, R. I. “Easty” “Cupid” “Charlie” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull ( , 2); Orchestra (J, 4); Secretary Student Branch A. . E. E. ( 4 ). There are some people who stroll around this Campus in a very quiet and sedate manner, but that does not mean a thing. Here is one, for instance. Charlie, or “Cupid, is a genius along certain lines, one of these being the consistent dodging of “P. T.” for four years. He has left his mark on the Campus through various activities other than athletics, although his intentions were good. After he attains his particular desires in this institution he intends to captivate a certain — well, also extensive work in Electrical Engineering. Here’s luck in both. Forty-one Russel Arvid Eckloff, Z II A North Providence, R. I. “Russ” “Red” Mayer” Chemical Engineering Honors (1); Beacon ” Board ( ), Advertising Manager (2), Business Manager (3, 4); Blanket Tax Committee 13, 4); Chemical Society (3, 4); Officers ' Club ( 3 , 4); Ser- geant (J); Captain (4); Grist Board. Russ” landed in Kingston one sunny day four years ago and soon settled down into politics by being ap- pointed Assistant Postmaster. As well as supplying us with mail. “Russ has successfully accomplished the tasks of Business Manager of the Beacon for two years. Red came here with visions of being a chemist and now his visualizations have materialized — he has become a full-fledged atom-chaser. He has been an ardent sup- porter of athletics and also found time to play on the various fraternity teams. Surely, “Russ,” with your ability as chemist you will make good in life, and we all wish you the best of luck. George Alfred Eddy, C.C., l K «t Newport, R. I. “G.

(j), Chairman (4); Lieutenant (J); Captain (4). For three long years, “Ted” spent heavy hours in solitude, trying to make his roommates stop borrowing his clothes and trying to be true to her — so far. far away. At last, by unalloyed perseverance and assiduous zeal, he climbed to the peak of fame — the movie operator. Even the Freshman co-eds stop to look at his graceful 5 feet 11 inches of Apolloian splendor. Physique like his. he says, is achieved only by chasing fouls for Keaney and biting the heads off the men in his company. We ' re a-scairt fer “Ted.” He’s going to be a real famous Engineer unless that smile of his gets him mar- ried — then God help him! Edward Allen Erickson, ZITA Providence, R. I. “Erick” “Whitey” “Swede” “Ed” Mechanical Engineering Glee Club ( , 2, 3, 4); Track Squad (J, 4); Fraternity Football (3, 4); Fraternity Basketball (3, 4); M. E. Society 0 4 ). One day in September, 1923, a mischievous blond youth stepped off the train at Kingston and rapidly pro- ceeded to make himself famous in unorthodox ways. “Swede” first distinguished himself by starting the Wells House Riot; innocently, of course ? ? ? ? Craving further outlet for his pent-up feelings, “Erick” became a mem- ber of the Glee Club where he has warbled nobly for three years. By his attendance at social functions. “Erick” has earned the reputation of being a ladies ' man and almost any Sunday night will find him reporting on parties in and around Providence. A good student, a faithful worker, and above all a real fellow, we wish him the best of success in whatever he undertakes in life.

The gentleman under dis- cussion landed in Kingston from Tech, in the Fall of 1923 and started on a career that was eventually to give him the distinction of being one quarter of the Senior Aggie Class. With a big bat in his hands, Eric has wrecked the hopes of many an opposing pitcher. Now that he has come to his last year in college he is doing some hard studying in order that the sheepskin won ' t slip out of his fingers. Stick to it, kid, it won’t be long now. Carolyn Shepley Forbes, X Q Longmeadow, R. I. “Sam” Home Economics Panhellenh Association (2, 3), President (4); Class Basketball (3); President Home Economics Club (4); House President ( 4 ); Commencement Play (3). Folks, we want you all to step right up and meet our Sam.” She possesses one of life’s choicest virtues — that of being seen and not heard. The “eyes” have it every time! When you are looking for loyalty and col- lege spirit you will find it genuinely exemplified by “Sammy.” Warwick High School was proud to send her on her way to college, and likewise Rhode Island State is mighty proud to send her into the world to accomplish in the finest possible way each task which comes before her.

I. “Bill” “Willie” Business Administration Freshman Banquet Committee ( ); Class Treasurer ( 2 . 3); Editor-in-Chirf Soph “ Beacon (2); Soph Hop Committee (2); “Beacon” Board (I, 2); Sergeant (3); Cap- tain (4); Chairman Junior Prom (.?),- Business Manager Grist (4); Business Manager Phi Delta (4); Military Ball Committee (3); Officers’ Club (J, 4); Economist’s Club i, i ■ We wonder what the class of 1927 would have done without Bill.” His business ability and keen judgment have proven valuable in all our class affairs. Our junior Prom surpassed all others largely because of his untiring efforts. In spite of numerous ejass activities, and long hours of study, “Bill” found time to keep the co-eds company. His flivver has been conspicuous about the portals of yon co-edderies and along the neighboring by-ways. Business is “Bill ' s middle name, and in bond-selling we know “Bill will be clever and successful. Forty-three Bertha Mae Friery, X K Pascoag, R. I. “Bert” Home Economics Hockey ( 2 , 3). Just a little girl with energy galore! From first sight, anyone can see that! It’s what lies underneath that is Bertha. She has her own code of right and wrong to which she adheres closely and from which she makes her decisions. Thus, the Bertha we know is a girl of strong determination. Contrasting with her will for right is that uncontrollable snicker which means that “Bert” is just beginning a period of breath-taking fun. Another sportswoman — “Bert” loves to play hockey and basket- ball, to “tennis” and “canoe,” and we must never forget skating. Dancing is her favorite pastime, as a dance never seems complete unless “Bert” is there to touch it up a bit ... I wonder if the ghosts of the Yatch Club still roam through Angel Row! Hazel Elizabeth Gage, 2 K Jamestown, R. I. “Kick” “Giggie” General Science Class Basketball (2, 3, 4); Student Council ( , 2), Sec- retary-Treasurer (2); Chemical Society ( 2 , 3), Secretary- Treasurer (4); Grist Board ( 4 ); Assistant Treasurer Class W. “Let’s ask Hazel.” How many times have echoes of this phrase resounded on the Campus! Requests come in from freshies with perplexing chem. problems; from a committee which lacks a song or a poem; from an unfor- tunate who has upset the household machinery; and as soon as possible the request is granted and everything is smoothly running once more. Although her object while in college has seemed to be training in chemistry, her real efforts have been exerted along executive lines. It has been rumored that when she joins the race for Governor of Texas, one of our most illustrious Seniors has offered his services as her campaign manager. James William Goff, Jr., A A V Bristol, R. I. “Jim” Business Administration Track Squad ( , 2, 3 , 4); Cross Country Squad (2, 3, 4); Rope Pull (2); Soph Hop Committee; Economist ' s Society (2, 3, 4); Grist Board. We now present Jim,” our retiring, non-committal classmate who has been with us in all activities. Though “Jim” was handicapped from the start by hailing from Bristol he soon overcame this obstacle and is now one of us. He has been a conscientious lad, working hard with the track squad, and can be seen most any day tear- ing around the field. “Jim” says he didn’t join “Phi Kap” because he didn’t like their victrola and because their records were out of date, anyway; so you see he is right there when it comes to jazz and all that goes with it. Well “Jim,” we wish you luck in your future endeav- ors, and the wishes of the Class of 1927 have never been known to go astray. Bernice Eucharia Grieves, t A Pawtucket, R. I. “Berry” “Ber” General Science Class “ Beacon ” (J), Intercollegiate Editor (J, 4); Grist Board (4); Property Manager Phi Delta (3); Commence- ment Play (J); House President ( 4 ). Notwithstanding the claim of psychology that we are all essentially alike, the fates have decreed that “Berry” shall be a “distinct individual.” Unlike all other co-eds she lived in the village her first two years. Hence her early activities are less prominent than they might have been; yet Johnny Cake Club made up for these, as many will remember. During the latter part of her Junior Year other things began to seem more important than her studies. These “other things” are still prominent. Here’s hoping she’ll speed her way through life as she speeds in her roadster with a minimum of woriy and a maximum of enjoyment, for after all “c’est la vie.” Joseph Grigo Providence, R. I. Joe” “Grig” Civil Engineering Pice-President R. . A. A. (4); Parsity Baseball Cap- tain 14); Baseball (2, 3, 4); R. 1. Club ( 2 . 3, 4); Class Baseball ( , 2); Rope Pull (I, 2); C. E. Society (2, 3, 4). Hey, who hit that home run? Joe Grigo! For four years “Joe” has made terrific attempts to knock down Kcaney’s well-known forest. Only a few trees are left standing. Baseball is his specialty, and official R. I. records show few his equal. As a third baseman on the Freshman Club he led his team in batting. In his Sophomore Year he made the Varsity and captained the Sophs in a victory over the Freshmen. A lusty double from his bat was the factor in Rhody’s win over the Bruins during his Junior Year. As a reward for his great work in pre- vious years he was elected captain of the 1927 team. Keep up the good work, “Joe.” May you succeed and have further success in life. Emery Howard Hall, B !• Pawtucket, R. I. “Em” “Hally” General Science Track ( 2 , 3, 4); Military Ball Committee (3, 4); Lieu- tenant (4); Sergeant (3); Rope Pull (I, 2); Grist Board (4); R. J. Club (3, 4); Officers’ Club (4); Rifle Team {4); Junior Prom Committee (3). Once upon a time (we won’t be too definite), a pair of lengthy limbs forsook the dusty byways of Pawtucket and ambled leisurely into our midst, bearing with them the physiognomy upon which we here gaze. The long limbs served “Hally” well, and won him his R. I. in Track; his smiling countenance and happy-go-lucky disposition won him the friendship of all who knew him; the gods alone know what won his B.S. ! And now the long limbs amble away again, carrying off more good fortune than any of us have been able to secure during our four years in Kingston — a degree; a letter; a host of friends; and last but not least, a wife! Adieu, benedict, and our best wishes go with you. Forty-five Walter Laurence Hammill Pawtucket, R. I. Walt” Mechanical Engineering This quite good-looking chap, friends, is none other than our “Walt. If one didn ' t know him. he would believe he was a “quiet chap.” However, many of the tricks, deviltry, and jokes that occur in our midst can be traced to the mind of he who looks serious. In spite of these faults. “Walt” is a student of the first order, and we always find his name on the safe side of the fence at report time. As a salesman he is without equal, and it is rumored he was more than an ordinary success selling his pleasing personality and amiable disposition to a certain party in the great City of Westerly. With such sterling qualities behind him. there is no doubt in our minds that at some time in the future we shall hear of “Walt” as a partner in the Perrotta-Priestley-Hamill Engineering Concern. You leave us, Walt,” with our sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous future. Olaf Edwin Harrington, (-) X Hamilton, R. I. “Harry” Agriculture Rifle Team (7. 2, 3, 4), Captain Rifle Team ( 4 ); Cross Country Squad (2, 3); Track Squad (3); Aggie Club (7, 2, 3 , 4), Secretary Aggie Club (4); Aggie Ball Committee (3, 4 1; Military Ball Committer (3); Officer, ' Club (3, 4 ); Grist Board; 1 ntercollegiate Dairy Judging Contests ( 4 ). During our Freshman Year we saw little of “Harry, for the attractions in Hamilton were so great that he could barely stay with us even for the day. But after becoming acclimated he realized the many advantages of college life on Kingston Hill, and consequently King- ston’s gain was Hamilton ' s loss. At once, Harry” began college activities with a “bang,” becoming one of Cap- tain Claude ' s expert riflemen, for it wa s he who helped to make our rifle team one of the best in the East. As a result of “Harry ' s splendid work he was unanimously elected captain of the rifle team in his Senior Year. With best wishes for the future, “Harry.” Agnes Christine Hartnett, X £2 Providence, R. I. “Agnes Home Economics Hockey (7); Commencement Play (3). Those who do not know “Agnes” very well, may- think her shy or bashful, but her close friends know her to be most witty and full of fun. During her Freshman Year, “Agnes” did not believe in studying, at least very often. Now, however, as a Senior in Home Economics, we have a young woman who is devoted to her course and who is planning to carry on this work — she says “maybe teaching— but “Agnes” always did say that she would like to live in Boston s ome day. We also won- der why she likes to go walking, especially down towards the athletic field this year. However, we all know that “Agnes will be successful in whatever career she under- takes after graduation. Forty-six Ethel Dolglas Hay Providence, R. I. HeyHay” General Science President A. A. (4); Class Basketball ( 2 , 3, 4); I ' arsity Basketball (3); Hockey ( 2 , 3, 4); “ Beacon ” Board (2, 3, 4), Secretary Beacon (J, • ),- Commencement Play (2); Debate Council (4). Humor, yes, that’s one of Ethel’s characteristics. A grin, a smile, and then an outburst of whole-hearted laughter. Unusually, yes, she is unusually broad-minded. Often- times her free and unbiased opinions have caused us to be somewhat amazed, but Ethel has never yet failed to produce the facts that have conclusively won the argu- ment. She has admirably shown her ability in basket- ball, but tennis is her hobby, which is preferable to any “classy” honor from her athletic point of view. So here’s hoping that after June of 1927 Ethel will find success in the pursuit of her undying ambition for research work. George Edwaro Hayden, Z IT A Brockton, Mass. “Smokey” “Ed” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull ( ); Class Basketball (l, 2); I ' arsity Basket- ball Squad ( 2 , 3, 4); Class Baseball (2), Assistant Mana- ger Baseball (2, 3), Manager Baseball (4); R. I. Club (4); Blanket Tax Committee (4); A. I. E. E. (4). George belongs to that exclusive (?) part of the Stu- dent Body at Rhode Island which hails from the “fair” town of Brockton. His scholastic endeavors have been directed towards the mastery of the mysteries of elec- trical engineering, and he has at least succeeded in becoming one of Andy ' s chief troubles in E. E. Lab. Although a member of the D. T. L., “Smokey has managed to become well know n on the Campus (at least with the male part of the Student Body), his pleasant and easy-going personality winning him many friends. Elvin George Hendrick, Z n A Johnson, R. I. “Porky” “Hen” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull ( , 2); Football ( , 2), Class Football Squad ( , 2); Baseball Squad ( . 2); Track (3, 4); E. E. Society (4); Chairman Activities Committee Student Council (4); Grist Board (4); Beacon (1); R. . Club (J, 4); Poly- gon (J, 4); Masonic Club (4). “Porky” came here, after being graduated from the School of Design, to polish his vast knowledge in some of Lanza’s courses. After he gets out of R. I., “Porky’s” biggest problem will be settling down in the city where there is money enough for him to put over his business schemes. After he gets all the money in this country he will start on the countries in Europe. And by and by he will have all the “million bucks” that he wants. Another thing that “Porky” intends to do when he gets out is to make up the sleep he has lost doing his problems in power plants. Forty-seven Albert Littlefield Hiller, AS E West Barrington, R. I. Al” Business Administration “ Beacon ’ ( ), Campus Editor ( 2 ), Managing Editor (J), Editor-in-Chief ( 4 ); Junior Beacon ; Managing Editor Grist (4); Football ( ); Sergeant {2, 3); Adjutant (4) Officers ' Club (3, 4); Economist ' s Club (2, 3,4); Track l ! ,2); R.l. Debating Society (2); Honors (4); Blanket Tax Committee ( 4 ); Rhode Island Representative Intercollegiate Parley ll’esleyan; Military Ball Committee ( 4 ). At last the town of West Barrington has justified its existence— it sent “Al” to R. I. State During his four years’ sojourn with us he has made himself useful and well lilted. . . . He has shown us his ability in Campus activities, principally along journalistic lines, by his work with the Beacon and this Grist, as is shown by the respective offices of Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon and Managing Editor of the Grist. You always find him busy at some activity. Well, “Al,” 1927 wishes you the best of luck when you step out into the cold, cruel world. Randolph Curtis Holt, Z n A Providence, R. I. “Ranny” “Pete Business Administration Freshman Football, Football Squad (2); Glee Club (2), chsistant Manager Glee Club (3), Manager Glee Club (4); Economist ' s Club (2, 3, 4);0fficers ' Club {3,4); Lieutenant 3, 4); Phi Delta (j), Executive Committee (4). Behold yon visage! None other than our publicity man on the Providence Journal staff; ask Coach Keaney for the write-ups. For a man. “Ranny” makes a keen- looking woman, as was evidenced in our . Glee Club sketches. Always on the job, that’s “Ranny,” no matter whether it is business or pleasure — the pleasure side had a great influence from his associate reporter at Davis Hall. Well liked by his classmates and all others with whom he has come in contact, “Pete has sure done his bit at R. I. State. Goodluck, old topper, may you and “Porky” prosper in your future business undertakings, a la restaurant, as first thought. Carl Gunnar John Johnson Edgewood, R. 1. “Gun” “Cukoo” Mechanical Engineering M. E. Society (2, 3, 4). Enter the youth with the many initials. “Gun” ar- rived with characteristic suddenness just about two days before registration in September, 1923. At that time he accomplished the feat of enrolling on such short notice as a day student with the main object of annexing a “sheepskin.” He varied his program by alternating periods of commutation and residence. This quick-witted youth was the bright light of the Mech. Eng. Course, due to the fact that no courses held any special difficulty for him. Gunnar’s willingness to pitch in and work, expecially in his laboratory courses, won for him many friends. He was never known to go hack on a friend and we feel confident that the future holds many successes for him as an Engineer. Forty-eight Galen Robinson Kinney, 0 X Kingston, R. I. “Gale” Business Administration Track Squad (J, 4); Cross Country Squad ( 4 ). Gale” certainly is a hard man to figure out! After spending his first year at R. I. State, Galen transferred to Boston University, but he soon discovered his mis- take, or felt the lure of his old Alma Mater, for he is once more with us on Kingston Hill. Perhaps there is some other attraction here that we have forgotten, because his Dodge coupe is frequently found in the vicinity of Davis Hall of Sigma Kappa. However, that is only a minor activity, because Galen has devoted much of his last two years to track work, becoming a half-miler of consider- able ability during his very first week of practice. Success is assured this frank youth of sterling char- acter, and it is our opinion that he will in a few years be operating a world-famous rhododendron farm. Oscar Clarence Larson Newport, R. I. Oscie” “Swede” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull ( , 2); Corporal (2); Cross Country Squad (3); Farsity Track Squad (2, 3, 4); Member A. . E. E.; E. E. Society (J, 4); Glee Club (2, J). This fair-haired youth hails from Newport, and since his arrival in Kingston has devoted much of his time to the pursuit of the baffling “lines of force” and the “mag- netic flux” in “Andy’s” E. E. Course. He also has devoted his energies to cross country and track. “Swede” is a discus-thrower of no mean ability and we expect that this year “Kippy’s discus record will be shattered. We feel confident that soon his name shall be carved in the Hall of Fame with Steinmctz and the other elec- trical wizards of the age. Alfred Harle Leigh, C. C. West Barrington, R. I. “Foxy Grampa” Civil Engineering Rope Pull ( ); C. E. Society (J, 4): Officers’ Club (J, 4); Rifle Team (I, 2, 3), Manager (4); Sergeant (2); Lieuten- ant (3); Captain ( 4 ). When you hear someone say, A. H. Leigh would do so and so,” you will know that Harle is somewhere near. There are many around the Campus who do not know this young man personally, hut just ask one of the fair co-eds who owned the gray Jordan, and there would be immediate recognition. Harle has excelled in Davis Hall subjects, and it is generally known that he should receive an “A” in the course. Outside of these minor activities he has inspired the profs, by some unknown means, into pushing him onto the next fellow with very good marks. In the future, Harle intends to put some of “Pa” Web- ster’s calisthenics into practice — maybe, if someone doesn ' t get him before then. Forty-nine Virginia Margaret Lennon Pawtucket, R. I. “Gin” “Ginger” Home Economics Class Basketball ( , 4); I ' arsity Track ( ),- Class Track ( . 2, 3, • ), Captain (1, 2, 3); Class Hockey ( , 2, 3); New England 100-yard-Dash Championship; Class “Beacon” (3, 4); House Secretary ( 2 ). Once upon a time — no, this isn’t a fairy tale — there came to us a peppy co-ed who caused everyone to ask, “Who’s the woman with the ’flaming youth’ dress ' ” Well, she soon proved herself to be one of the mainstays of women’s athletics. Gaze upon the above list of activ- ities for confirmation. She’s quite a swimmer, too, as shown by her membership in the Boston Swimming Association. We have enjoyed having “Gin” with us, and our sin- cere hope is that she will take the course of life with the skill and ease which have marked her athletic feats in Our toast to Gin” — Happiness! Harriet Edith Lewis, X 12 Pawtucket, R. I. “Harry” Home Economics Secretary Sophomore Council (2); Vigilance Committee (3); Commencement Play (3). Harriet Lewis — what does that call to mind? Snappy blue eyes, sleek black bob, small, dancing figure — always on the alert for every passing bit of fun! Everybody in Kingston knows “Harry”; her friendly, sociable air; her love for people; her eagerness to help in every situation. In spite of her many social activities, Harriet has made a fine scholastic record for the entire four years. Harriet is still undecided about which career she will choose after graduation. Perhaps she will become a teacher or— well perhaps. Owen Earl Lowe, 4 2 Brockton, Mass. “Owen” Chemical Engineering Scholastic Honors ( , 2, 3); Orchestra (2. 3); Chemical Society. Out of Brockton in the year of our Lord 1923 came Owen. Notwithstanding this great handicap he readily made honors all through his college courses. That great and noble body, the Student Council, seemed to have a predilection for Mr. Lowe. It was rumored about the Campus that Owen would soon set the fashion in base- ball masks and coal shovels. He did! Owen is, was, and ever shall be. a chemist. Why he should choose such a calling is a deep mystery. Try as they wijl, though, the profs can’t seem to discourage him. Here’s luck and good wishes, Owen, and may the time come when they put “Lowe” on the bottles instead of “Merck.” Fifty THJB GRJST iV Winifred Marguerite MacLaughlin, X D East Providence, R. I. “Winnie” “Freddie” Home Economics Sophomore “ Beacon ” Board (2); Junior “ Beacon ' Board (3); House President (3); Commencement Play (3); Grist Board (4). Winifred is the very spirit of joyfulness. Neither the most perplexing problems nor the most exasperating cir- cumstances have been able to darken her outlook upon life. But do not imagine for an instant that Win” is frivolous just because she is so happy. Her high scholastic standing alone would disprove this. Then, too, the village people as well as the students will miss her when she is no longer a co-ed, for she has sung at many of the community entertainments during the last two years. Regarding “Winnie’s” future, we feel no anxiety, for the little girl with the never-worrv air and the cheerful smile is just the sort that the world needs. Eldorus Earl Martin, A1E Seekonk, Mass. “Marty” General Science Rope Pull ( ); Sophomore Hop Committee; Biological Society ( 2 , 3); Officers ' Club (3, 4); Freshman Manager Football (3); Military Ball Committee (3, 4); R. O. T. C. (I, 2, 3, 4); Polygon ( 4 ); Grist Board; Class Treasurer (4). “Marty,” the big boy, comes from Seekonk, but don’t be misled — he isn’t a farmer. He came to Kingston from the country four years ago. and at once began to wonder what it was all about. Marty” didn ' t take long to be- come well known, however, and was soon liked by every- one on the Campus. “Marty” manages to keep even with his studies, by some means, because any social function without his smile would not be complete. Ask the fair sex? Well, “Marry,” everybody wishes you luck when you leave us to make your name in Seekonk — or the United States. Ralph Victor Mead, B «l Springfield, Mass. “Vic” General Science Varsity Football ( , 2, 3, 4); R. . Club. Willimansett’s pride and joy here gazes upon you! Ladies and Gentlemen, kindly note the heart-fluttering countenance, for therein lies the explanation of Mead’s ability to capture the hearts of many of our fair co-eds! Ralph won marked distinction not only in the field of hearts but on the equally-perilous football field. A tackle of great ability, he played for four years a clean, hard game that won him the respect of adversary as well as teammate. Rather quiet in bearing, and possessed of a pleasing personality, he has made a host of friends here on the Campus, and with him go the best wishes of all of us in his future activities. Fifty-one am Laura Estelle Murray, SK,4 A New Rochelle. N. Y. “Red” “Hattie” Home Economics Phi Delta ( , 2), Vice-President (J, V); Secretary- Treasurer Home Economics Club (3); Class Basketball (2, 3, 4); Vice-President Class (j, 4); Junior Play (3); Grist Board; Hockey {2, 3). Laura Murray? Oh yes, you mean rhai girl with the short, curly red hair and re-appearing smile — the one whose eyes sparkle with mischief and fun! Laura’s eyes and smile give away the keystone of her personality- fun and a disposition to work “on the square” in every- thing and with everybody. She has a highly-developed sense of humor which never fails. We are all especially grateful for her original work in entertainment and decoration, for she has an artistes eye. Her reputation as an actress is widespread, and it is said that her per- formance as Maggie” in Barrie’s “What Every Woman Knows.” was one of the best ever given by an amateur. Granville Milton Neal, 4 1 Auburn, R. I. “Granny” General Science Track Squad (I, 2); Junior “ Beacon ; Grist Board. To describe this well-meaning lad. one is forced to re- sort to the use of superlatives as he holds all kinds of records with the exception of athletic and scholarship attainments. In the first place, he is the youngest mem- ber of the Class of ’27, being actually nineteen! The next peculiarity of Mr. Neal is the fact that he has never been co-eding. As a true son of “bonny” Scotland, “Granny” has a deep affection for his assemblage of Milanos and Dunhills, but his affection does not stop there as he is exceedingly attached to merry-go-rounds and the “Bac” Lab where he is testing the power of the various germicides. Joseph Henry Negus, 0 X Tiverton, R. I. Nugie” “Uncle Henry” Civil Engineering Rope Pull (I, 2); Football Squad ( . 3); Basketball Squad ( , 2, 3, 4); Baseball Squad ( ); Vice-President C. E. Society (3), President (7). Kind reader, “Nugie.” the “two gun man” from Tiver- ton, looks upon you with kindly convictions. Trapper, trader, and hunter” is a title this young man has earned through his love for nature and the birds of the forest; and several in number are the “fair young things” who have learned to pack hardware through “Nugie’s” instructions Firmness of character, unfailing fraternal respect, and a wit, the keenness of which has won universal friendship for him, arc but few of his qualities we will never forget. Fifty-two TH£ GUI S T Mildred Emma Negus, 0 A O, T K A, «l A Exeter, N. H. Neggie” “Mil” Aunt Em” General Science Grist Board; Scholastic Honors (2, 3, 4); Fice-Presi- dent IF omen ' s Student Council (3); Chairman House Council (3); Farsity Debating ( 2 , 3); Founded IFomen’s Debating Society (4); Secretary-Treasurer Tau Kappa Alpha (4); Finance Chairman Y. IF. C. A. ( 3 ), Secretary Y. II . C. A. (4); Delegate to Maqua (2); Commencement Play (2,3); Pice-President A. A. (3); Farsity Basketball (2, 3,4). Vim, vigor, and vitality — all three maintained and exercised in fullest measure during four years of one’s academic life — signify a person with outstanding abili- ties, not only to carry through a task with strength and energy but to do so with such animated zest that the utmost enjoyment is found therein. “Neggie” never truckled for bigness, but out of the sideshows of our passing fancies chose those things which best fitted her capabilities. Delbert Livingston Nevins, 0X Brockton, Mass. “Del” Electrical Engineering Glee Club Orchestra ll, 2, 3, 4); Sophomore Hop Com- mittee; Military Ball Committee (3); R. 0. T. C. Sergeant (2, 3), Drum Major (3. 4); Officers ' Club (3, 4); E. E. Society (i, 4). When, in the Fall of ’23, a group of energetic young men migrated from Brockton to Kingston, there ap- peared in their midst this young man who was to become one of the leading musicians upon our Campus. That we now have a real college band is due greatly to his earnest endeavors. His ready helpfulness, combined with a genial personality, has made him one of the most popu- lar in our midst, and these qualities are sure to help to push him forward when he leaves us. Raymond Telesphore Perron, 0 X, t A Brockton, Mass. “Bud” “Ray” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull (I, 2); Basketball Squad (I); Fraternity Debating (I, 2); Baseball Squad (1); Class Debating (I), Captain (2); Chairman Sophomore Hop Committee; Jun- ior Hat Committee; Student Council (2, 3, 4); Assistant Manager Baseball (3); Class President (3, 4); Junior Prom Committee; Hus i nr Manager Phi Delta (3); Treas- urer 14); Editor-in-C.hiej Grist,- President Lecture Asso- ciation (4); Rhode Island Representative Intercollegiate Parley at IPesleyan; Editor Freshman Bible (4). Whose picture is this? What! Don’t you know that’s “Bud” Perron’s. He’s from Brockton, the Shoe City, everyone knows him. Electrical Engineering appealed to “Bud. With that course and that long list of activities we have been con- vinced that he is the busiest man in college. Activity is “Bud’s” middle name; always right where you want him, ready and equipped to undertake any task. Seri- ousness, understanding, and a large sense of humor are his outstanding qualities. We wish him luck on the road to success, as we feel the road to success is the one he is to travel. Fifty-three Michael Angelo Perrotta Newport, R. I. “Mike” Mechanical Engineering Here he is, folks, the one and only Mike. For four years we have seen him and his million-dollar smile fly- ing across the Campus at seven minutes past, trying to get to class on time. As a student we will say little, be- cause we have always found the “boy” away up near the top at report time. Newport should be proud of the little atom. His most noteworthy achievement other than his studies was the siege and capture of the co-cdery. Although “Mike” has never played on any of our ath- letic teams, he is a versatile athlete as is evinced by our class teams and records. A most aggressive and persistent youth, we hope to hear of “Mike” in years to come as the head of some big engineering concern. We bid you adieu, classmate, and may success be yours. Hope Isabel Perry, 0 A O, «t� A Holyoke, Mass. “Epoh” General Science Scholastic Honors (3); PanheUrnic (3, 4); Phi Delta ( 2 , 3), Secretary ( 4 ); Commencement Play (2, 3); Program Committee Y. IP. C. A. (3, 4); Junior “Beacon ; Class Track (1,2,3, 4); Class Hockey ( 2 , 3, 4); Class Basketball (J. 4). This small person suaved in the breeding of a Southern college has become a real Rhode Islander be- cause of this attitude. Diligent perseverance in scholar- ship and social activities have placed “Epoh” among the leaders of our Campus. Keen humor is an outstanding characteristic of “EpohV’and many a college “crack” has found its origin tvith her. Yet, those of us that know her best are assured that distance can never sever the tics made by this loyal friend and honored classmate. Alan Henry Pilling, AS E Pawtucket, R. I. “Al Pill” Mechanical Engineering R. 0. T. C. Sergeant (3), Lieutenant (4); At. E. Society (3, 4); Officers ' Club (3, 4); Varsity Cross Country Squad (4); Track Squad (4); Military Ball Committee (4). Here we have Pill who hails from the outskirts of Pawtucket. He came into our fold back in September, 1923, with one and only one object in view, that of fitting himself for life as a Mechanical Engineer. Although starting his athletic career rather late, he distinguished himself as a cross-country runner. “Pill,” as he is known to us, is somewhat of a soldier, and his aggressiveness in this line is shown by listening to his “s-s-q-u-a-d-s rr-r-i-g-h-t march ring out across the drill field. We understand that a young lady living in Pawtucket has been an inducement for Pill to leave Kingston week- buying fraternity pins. ' Fifty-four THE. GBJCST Winfred Kenneth Priestley, C. C. Providence, R. I. “Ken” Mechanical Engineering Football Squad (l, 2); Track Squad ( , 2); Rope Pull (2); Class Debating (2); Interfraternity Debating (3, 4): Polygon (4); Sergeant (3); Lieutenant {4); Officers ' Club This gentleman of note has in many respects been lost to the “ed” half of the Campus, for since his Sophomore Year his work has carried him daily in the direction of South Hall where his wonderful disposition has managed to keep him out of trouble. “Ken” has had all of the trials and tribulations which are common to all engineers, and has always come up smiling. His college life has been a complete success, and we hope that the future holds much in store for him. Elizabeth Cook Ramsbottom, SK,4 i Pawtucket, R. I. “Betty” “Bets” “Ramsey” Home Economics Manager Basketball (4); Pianist Y. IT. C. A. (3); Com- mencement Play ( 3 ); Secretary A. .4. (3); Junior Prom Committee; Executive Committee Phi Delta ( 4 ). Our most characteristic picture of “Betty” always has a piano in the background, for who has more “music” in her than Bets”? Her cheerfulness and energy are two more of her characteristics and, when combined, are a fun-producing factor in college life— who said she was quiet and dignified? Here’s a little thought to take away with you, “Bets,” mysterious though it may sound to some, in the famous old Sophomore song, remember? — you are the only one who has remained the same, “forever and aye”!

E. problem. “Casi came to us after hanging up an enviable record at La Salle Academy, and has more than continued his good work since arriving at Kingston. As a player on the gridiron he has been steady and faithful to his Alma Mater, and his quiet, sincere man- ner has made friends with all. Casimir, the world is yours to conquer! We wish you the best of luck and we feel sure that many of our great bridges in the future will be labeled “C. A. Rogus. Engineer. Fifty-five William Rohrhlrst, ATE Providence, R.

We feel sure that no introduction is necessary to the young man whose picture appears here. It is none other than our “Wee Willie of popular fame. Four years ago “Bill” appeared on Kingston Hill as an innocent Freshie. He soon lost his innocence and settled down to pursue an education as an M. E. He is a conscientious and faithful worker at all times in everything he undertakes to do. He is always present at our class and social func- tions and has augmented Rhody’s football teams for the past three years. “Bill” is an artist of no little fame; his comic sketches have drawn many laughs at our Satur- day-night movies and have also contributed humor to our Grist. His many friends unite in wishing him suc- cess in the future. James Ely Rolston, C. C. East Hartford, Conn. “Jimmy” “Jacques” Electrical Engineering Rope Pull ( , 2); Varsity Football ( 2 , 3, 4); Class Bas- ketball ( , 2); Varsity Track (2, 3. 4); R. 1. Club ( 2 ), Se- cretary (i). President (4); Vice-President Officers’ Club (J), President (4); E. E. Society (3, 4); Sergeant (3); Lieutenant (4). “For he was a jolly good fellow.” This little ditty will carry to you a better picture of Jim than any amount of rhetoric. It was this characteristic, coupled with his keen intellect and personality, that has made him a popular member of our class. He has also distinguished himself as an athlete, for his steady, r eliable playing on the gridiron and his ability in heaving the javelin have won him recognition as a dependable man in those respective sports. We are certain that his will be a notable career if he only continues to do as he has done here at college in the past four years. Joseph Sack, B N E Central Falls, R. I. “Joe” “Nurmi” Electrical Engineering Orchestra {2, 3, 4); E. E. Society (J, 4). Flux-density, point off two places to the right — this is our man “Joe”! He can always be seen with his Friend Oscar pondering over Andy’s E. E. problems. “Joe” is quite an ardent student and can work a slide rule until it becomes red hot! This young engineer is very big hearted; if you don’t believe it, ask any Freshman. “Joe” quite often explains to the Frosh the intricacies of thermo-dynamics and mechanics until the frosh is bewildered at “Joe’s” vast knowledge of the subject. “Joe” is and always will be a genuine worker, and we feel sure that as an Engineer he will succeed.

E., and after looking the country over decided that the atmosphere of Kings- ton was most conducive to the attainment of a broad education. Upon graduation, “Sandy” intends to give some big corporation the pleasure of his presence. His pleasing manner, ready wit, good humor, and ability at enter- tainment have won for him a host of true friends on the Campus, and it is with regret that we watch “Sandy” take the new path. Mary Reid Scott Sunbury, Pa. Scottie” Home Economics Pigi lance Committee (4); Commencement Play (J). The keynote to “Scottie ' s” character is easily recog- nized — capableness. She has clearly shown this quality in her square dealings with all, and in her work which the class felt her capable of performing, when it selected Mary as Senior Representative to Vigilance Committee. Throughout her four years with us we have found Mary always ready for fun; in fact, if there wasn’t any fun she would proceed to make some; yet when occasion demands, her profound dignity has led us to accept her decisions, for we know them to be backed by the clear logical thinking of which this sincere woman is capable. Roger Leroy Searle, 4 2 New London, Conn. “Roc” General Science Track Squad ( , 2, 3, 4); Junior “Beacon ; Grist Board; Polygon (4). In the Fall of 1923 Roger decided to cast his lot with us for better or worse. Although he perused the books of learning a good deal, he still found time to offer his services to his Alma Mater as an athlete. He uncovered some ability as a high-jumper and bids fair to take a crack at the Varsity record. Although not a letter man, at the end of his Junior Year he has scored in even’ Var- sity meet in which he entered. Little can be said of his relations with the fair sex as little is known about them. Once upon a time he possessed ambitions — chemical ones. He may be found at any time, however, pursuing amoebas and stray tissues about the Zoological Lab. YVe soon part. Roger, so cheerio, pal, and may God speed you and grant you success. Fifty-seven John Rushton Shoesmith, Z 17 A Woonsocket, R. I. Johnny” “Jickey” Mechanical Engineering Glee Club ( 4 ); M. E. Society (4). When “Johnny” acquired all the knowledge possible at Providence Tech he decided that Rhode Island State would be greatly benefited by the addition of able per- sonality; hence his presence among us. For three whole years he was never known to have been seen in public with those of the opposite sex across the Campus, but times have changed. While here he has apparently been quiet, but has had his part in “Rough Housing, and having that innocent look has never been suspected. He is usually ready for a good time — when it does not interfer with his co-educa- tion. “Jickey” always has a good supply of wit and is always causing a laugh. His greatest ability is singing. To him we wish the best of success. Walter Thaddeus Siuta Pawtucket, R. I.

Although he twirls a mean test tube he is also an exponent of the mighty pen, as the many fiery Beacon epistles will testify. His many well wishers predict a successful future, whether it he teaching Central Falls boys the difference between a base hit and a home run, why atoms mole- culize, or editing a “Hawaiian Gazette” in those remote islands.

Providence gave this college one of her great sons, a learned sheik, in the person of Noel Smith — known on the Campus as “Dunk.” His f irst two years were more of a grind, just to keep up his reputation as a student. Starting with his Junior Year he began a whirlwind social attack which baffled his classmates, because Dunk” never was known to care for vampires and Charleston dances, but he could no longer withstand his desire for the fast life. He is gifted with a pleasing personality which would be hard to equal, and we know that he will make a success in life, no matter how great the odds against Fifty-eight THE GRIST Marion Stevens, X Q Cowesett, R.

A girl exemplifying dignity; and we say with Shakespeare, “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman!” Her keen sense of humor has afforded us many moments of pleas- ure and fun — page the residents of South Hall. Could we say anything more than “Just the best and happiest years of success to you, ‘Steve’ ”? Casper Milton Sutton, B N E Providence, R. I. “Cap” “Sut” Business Administration Sophomore Beacon ; Junior Beacon”; Junior Prom Committee; Economist ' s Club (i). Treasurer ( 4 ); Grist Board; Polygon ( 3 , 4). Here he is, the boy economist who is always heard making the remarks “What have we in investments?” With these remarks, one is likely to receive the im- pression that “Cap” never indulges in the art of study. But “Sut” is really ambitious — big hearted and a help to those around — a real asset, and we hope he won’t depreciate! Casper is serious in his work, however, and accomplishes a great deal through conscientious effort. When this humorous business administrator goes forth to battle the world with the aid of the prof’s economics, advertising, accounting, psychology, etc., we feel most certain that “Cap” will create a market of products in the field which he attains.

Any undergraduate who can carry fifty-two hours of bridge, fifty-six hours of co- eding, forty-four hours of sleep, and sixteen credit hours is a student of great versatility. Know thou, though that “Swanie” is a diligent stu- dent with an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He is unde- cided about the future, but we feel that he cannot but succeed in the world of high finance. Our most sincere good wishes follow wherever you may go.

From the great metropolis of Brockton came “Bill” who has, for four years, pursued the entrancing field of conceiving the structure of elusive atoms. We do not know why he chose this noble calling, but judging from experiments he has performed in the lab, he possesses excellent ability. In four years of steady practice, “Bill” has become a star track athlete. Perhaps soon he will hold the shot- put record. As you leave us to go out into life “Bill,” we know that you will bring honor to your Alma Mater and to your class. George Elias Swipe Dedham, Mass. “Elias” General Science Elias” came to Rhode Island after spending his Freshman Year at Bates College. He thought a change was necessary, therefore he selected Rhody for his Alma Mater. He has been with us since, pursuing his course without a murmur, regardless of the difficulties that he has to overcome to attain his goal. His ambition is to be a physician, whereby he can further study the activity of bacteria. We wish him all the success in the world in the career he has chosen for his lifework.

It received a well-de- served ovation! As coach of the Sigma Kappa play, “The Elopement of Ellen,” “Billy was untiring in her efforts to produce clear characterization and a finished performance. Her success was assured when, after the completion of the first act, I.ippitt echoed with hearty applause. Not “out” for athletics, much of her distinguished service is behind the scenes, “doing programs, direct- ing — for “Billy” is a most capable manager, adding zest to a party and the finishing touch of humor to a story.

We can ' t say whether it’s his saxophone or his motorcycle we are imi- tating, for he is well known through both. “Van came to us from Rumford with his cherished sax under his arm and a grim determination to become an engineer. The motorcycle came later. Always good natured, sincere in every undertaking, “Van” is liked by everyone who knows him — all of which assures us that whatever his future undertaking, he will be a success. We almost forgot to mention that “Van is our Major, and a darn good one, too! Lawrence Blake Wales Kingston, R. I. “Lanza Mechanical Eng ineering M. E. Society (3,4). Here is a true son of Kingston, As the son of one of our noted professors, Lanza” has had much to live up to. He has proved his ability conclusively, and we be- lieve that with a little more effort he would have broken into the column of the privileged assembly cutters! Although his Campus activities have been few, his versatile nature has always kept him to the front in the eyes of the many friends he has made in Kingston. “Lanza,” we wish you all the success in the world, and may your diligent efforts lead you to the top of the engineering profession.

Mere words cannot do justice to the record which Beany” has made during his four years at Kingston. Even the fact that he hails from Whitman cannot he held against him. as he has established himself in the hearts of all lovers of a fighting spirit and true sports- manship. For four years “Beany” has been one of our mainstays on the gridiron, but we will always remember him for his unassuming nature and geniality, qualities which made him a friend worth claiming!

The natives of the little hamlet of Barrington wept bitter tears as this son left for the bright lights of Kings- ton in the Fall of 1923. However, they were consoled by the thought that some day he would return as a great electrical engineer to install electric lights in the town! Besides living up to their anticipation, “Whit” has made a host of friends through his happy disposition, willingness to help, and earnestness of purpose. “Whit’s” four years here represent the aggregate of days of good fellowship and pleasant memories!

We can- not forget this classmate of ours and his habit of wan- dering into classes late. His nonchalant attitude is such that the people cannot take offense at him. During the four years that we have known him, “Charlie” has taken an active part in all activities about the Campus. All his old pals have pleasant memories of little incidents and sayings which will always remain w ith them. The old gang wish you luck in your future undertak- ings as a chemist.

Another foods committee?” is a remark often heard from Mid, but it simply means that she has rcmark- ?,, ■ ,tv ,n « anaRerial work along the foods line. If Mid is entrusted with an important piece of work, she is conscientious and bears the responsibility well, com- ing through triumphantly in an efficient manner. One would never guess that the giggling, flyaway sort of girl one meets at a dance could so effectively apply herself to the work at hand, yet we who know her in a more intimate way, realize her ability for that application. THE VILLAGE CHURCH “With reverent feet the earth he trod. Nor banished nature from his plan. But studied still with deep research, To build the Universal Church, Lofty as is the love of God And ample as the wants of man. — Longfellow MALI, One of the most beautiful and oldest buildings of our College is Davis Hall, the main women ' s dormitory on the Campus. During the early years of the university, Davis was used as a men s dormitory. In 1909, plans were made for a new building in which the increased number of men students might be housed; and as a result. East Hall was constructed Since then. Davis has been the “main tent in the co-edery. Like a great English castle of old, its many peaked gables almost completely covered by a luxuriant growth of ivy, towering high above the treetops, Davis, dear old Davis, nobly stands, a lifelong friend of all. Sixty-three CLASS OF 1928 Gerald H. Faunce Elsa B. Gramelsbach Ceylon A. Randall William H. Gannon C. Lloyd Sweeting . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Member Class History of 1928 We, of the Class of ’28, came to this Campus in September of ’24 with extremely vague conceptions of what college life is really like. After delving for several weeks in the intricacies of sundry problems without ever finding our what they were all about, we found ourselves on the eve of the Frosh-Soph Rope Pull. Having suffered the jeers and taunts of wily Sophs from the day of our matriculation, we became a determined lot of F reshies, and were not surprised to see our “strong men’’ win the Rope Pull and force the Sophs to take an icy bath in the cool waters of Underwood’s Pond. After that memorable day we entered many linesof activity with unusualearnest- ness, and every organization on the Campus has on its roster, members of our class. After a rather unsuccessful season on the gridiron we turned to the basketball court and let Coach Keaney pick a team from among us. The team won nearly every game and ended a successful season with a brilliant triumph over the Sophs. Passing through the baseball and track seasons, victory was ours in nearly all our starts. Now that our Senior year lies before us, we are beginning to realize the responsi- bilities that we must assume. With the foundation we already have we are looking forward to even greater achievements before we leave these hallowed walls of our Alma Mater to serve God and our fellow men.

No more, “Freshmen, do this.” and “Fresh- men, do that,” but now we can laugh at the plight of these innocent yearlings as we were laughed at last year. We get quite a kick when a Frosh mistakes us for a Senior and tips his hat. In Cross Country we won all our scheduled meets. This year three of our Hill- and-Dalers are on the Varsity. Last year’s Basketball team went through the season without defeat, humbling the Brown and Connecticut Frosh, also. After the season was over we lost to the Sophs at the close of the two overtime period game. This year our material joined the Varsity Squad. Track, under the supervision of our Big Brother “Toot,” is rounding the boys into shape for the Varsity meets this year. If you notice, we are also represented in literary and social organizations such as the Beacon Board, Phi Delta, the Glee Club, and the College Orchestra. Our ideal is through our class unity to achieve distinction during our college career and, later in life, to be able to look back upon our achievements as a class with pride. .

Yes, we are collegiate! See our little hats — real distinctive! Although we bought the radiators in East Hall, and did many other foolish things, we’re not so green as you would think. We have started the year out with a bang! The first incident which began our history was the defeating of the Sophomores in the Annual Rope Pull. A few weeks later we again showed our fighting blood in the annual fray with the Sophs on the gridiron where we defeated them to the tune of 7 to 0. This last achievement entitles us to doff our caps on April 1st instead of the 30th. Our achievements on the football field with other teams are also out- standing. We intend to exhibit our powers in all sports during the year, and with the spirit of 1930 and the good material we have available, we should be credited with excellent clubs. To show you that we are not all brawny of arm only, but also capable in other lines, we would have you look at the College Honor Roll, also our achievements in the Glee Club and Orchestra.

Providence Seventy-seven Annual Soph-Frosh Rope Pull This event is the first stirring clash between the Freshmen and Sophomores each year. The scene of battle is laid at Underwood’s Pond — just off the Campus. It is regarded by many as the paramount exhibition of class rivalry during the year. Seventy-eight iiTiTPTMiurrrr r.

Barber 1926 Captain Football After early season practice, Rhode Island was ready to place a formidable team on the gridiron. Practically every position was filled by a veteran player and substitute material was very promising. In the first game, Coach Keaney’s men met what was to be known later in the season as one of Brown University’s greatest elevens. Fighting a courageous game, Rhody held the heavy Brown team to a 14-0 score. Rhode Island’s next two encounters were with University of Maine at Kingston and Lowell Textile at Lowell. Rhode Island was defeated by both these teams by one touchdown. On Homecoming Day, University of New Hampshire came to Kingston and met a very aggressive team. Rhody’s playing was very creditable, but the game ended 7-6 for the visitors. Rhode Island flashed a forward pass attack in this contest that was very effective. C. C. N. Y. was the next opponent. Profiting by Rhody’s miscues, the New Yorkers piled up an imposing number of points, the final count being 29-0. Following a two weeks’ lay-off, the Blue and White staged a real comeback by trouncing Worcester Tech, 26-7. The team worked well, with Captain Barber directing the attack from the huddle system. The objective game w ith Conn. Aggies was played at Storrs. Here, Rhody w f as greatly outplayed in the first half; but in the second, the game w T as well fought. Rhody suffered defeat, 33-0. The team had a fine leader in Captain Barber. His work was outstanding in every game, and it is to be regretted that he did not lead a winning team. The line-up was: Blake and Reid, ends; Meade and Warde, tackles; Walker and Gannon, guards; Conroy, center; Barber, quarterback; Brown and Stevens, half backs; and Townsend, fullback. This is the team that started against Connecticut, but other men who were used throughout the season were: Hammett, Galvin, Donald, Rogus, and Rolston in the line; and Hurwitz, Draghetti, Gratton, and Magoun in Owen R Conroy the backfield.

For Football, Track, and Baseball the past provided “standing room only.” From now on, our students, their friends, and the returning Alumni (or at least eight hundred of them) can view the sports from the vantage of comfortable seats. The stands give the incidental advantage of a co-ordinated cheering group. The need of bleachers was felt for a long time. Determination to do something about this need developed last spring. Agitation took the form of a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of an adequate number of seats. Students sold and Alumni subscribed for five-dollar season tickets to the home games of the Football season, these funds being approximately equal in amount. In addition, generous donations were made by the Agricultural Club, and the Senior Class of 1926. Altogether, nearly fourteen hundred dollars was secured. Late in the summer, purchase of the bleachers was made from the Levitt Manu- facturing Company of Illinois. Prof. Webster, aided by the counsel of Coach Keaney, acted for the Athletic Committee of the college in the negotiations. Eighty-three Basketball The shrill blast of Bill Coadv’s whistle on the third of December opened one of the most successful Basketball seasons Rhode Island has ever experienced. Captain Red” Haire led his quintet against the fast Naval Hospital Five of Newport. “Firpo” Asher, backed by the rest of the team, soon proved that the Newport icemen are better Basketball players than the gobs. “Dick” Barber and Alec Hurwitz as guards played so well that the sailors scored only 17 points to our 52. So the first game left us sailing smoothly. New Bedford Textile School called on us a few nights later — and we dropped enough baskets to pile up the favorable score of 63-29. Rhody, with all the pluck of a bantam rooster, proceeded to get into shape to meet the growling bulldogs of Yale. The boys made no rash promises when they said, “We’ll win the game.” Rhody employed everything she had, in- cluding the ferocity of Asher, the doggedness of Barber, the size of “Eppy,” the eye of Hurwitz, and the coolness and confidence of “Red” Haire. Basket- ball or fight, no matter which, little Rhody through her loyal sons demonstrated her superiority to Yale in both, when she hung a 29-26 defeat on the tail of the bulldog. Next, the U. S. Coast Guard team with one hundred loyal sons of the Navy arrived in Kingston. In spite of the lusty cheers, the urgent pleadings that those hundred bluejackets made, and in spite of the yapping of the big bear, the Coast Guard quintet was shipwrecked by a 38-28 defeat. A week-end trip brought us a victory over Maine and a defeat from the New Hampshire team. Our boys, tired after a fast game with Maine and a long train ride to New Hampshire, had an “off day” when they met the team in Durham. Bridgewater Normal was an overwhelming victory; we succeeded in sinking the Submarine Base of New London team to the depth of 70-21. Upsala sent a speedy crew up who met with defeat when Rhody grabbed a 10-point lead. Two games with Northeastern proved interesting; in the first we won by a decisive score, while our second conflict was favorably won by a single point. Next, Brown breezed down on the first of March. Again, Rhody defeated them, and the enthusiastic Student Body chalked up a 41-20 victory on their score cards. Our second meeting with Maine proved just as disastrous to them as did our first conflict. Our ancient rivals. Conn., played a tight, fast game, but were unable to stem the tide that the fine co-operation of our boys put up against them in Kingston. It was a game in which every man for Rhode Island starred; it will be a game long remembered by Rhody’s students. As this copy has to go to press before the completion of the schedule, this write-up is necessarily incomplete, but it is expected that the exceptional troup that sinks consistent baskets this year will continue their victorious course that is marred by but one exception.

Although the margin between victories and defeats was not great, the vic- tories far outshadowed the defeats. Included in the list of victories were such strong teams as: Brown, Wesleyan, Conn., Bates, and Boston University. The victory over Brown, alone, makes the season a pronounced success. The toll taken by the graduating class last June was heavy, there remaining only five letter men upon whom Coach Keaney could build a team. Those men were Capt. MacKenzie. La Chappelle, Lamont, Grigo, and Erickson. From last year’s promising substitutes three reported — Asher, Suita, Marchand, Hickey, and Brown. From the Freshman team of the previous year some promising ball tossers were available in Stevens, Blake, Draghetti, Clegg, and Ziochouski. The season opened officially at Boston where we met the Harvard nine. This was Coach Keaney’s first chance to try out his material, and as most of George H. MacKenzie the players were green, we lost 9-2. In the series with Northeastern, Rhody was most unfortunate in losing both games by a decisive score. The team was hampered equally by a Faculty ruling which specified that all games must end at 5:50 P. M.This caused the first game with Clarke to end after five innings in a 5-5 tie. The Clarke team arrived late, but the team showed its superiority over Clarke by defeating them 6-1 on Interscholastic Track Day. In the game with Maine, the team was again the victim of the 6 o’clock rule. Maine was leading, 7-6, with R. I. at bat with two outs when the game was called. The team thus lost a chance of possible victory. Colby came down from the ' hill of Maine to be defeated 10-9. The team hit its greatest stride in the first Conn. game. A greater exhibition of hitting could not be desired, with Grigo and Stevens leading the attack. The team easily won 10-6. The triumph of the season was the defeat of Brown. The whole aggrega- tion played brilliantly, especially La Chappelle, T ufts appeared the following day with a well balanced team and clearly ourclassed Rhody by winning 1 1-6. On a two-day trip to Connecticut, the team defeated Wesleyan and Trinity in turn. At Wesleyan, La Chappelle, aided by a tight defense, pitched a no-hit no-run game, and thus entered Baseball ' s “hall of fame.” The final game with Conn, at Storrs was a great disappointment. Entering, a strong favorite with perhaps too much confidence, the team played wretched Baseball and lost 9-7. Our batteryconsisted of Capt. MacKenzie behind the plate and LaChappelle in the box. The infield consisted of Grigo, first base; Asher, second base; Stevens, shortstop; and Erickson, third base. The fly-chasers were Blake, left field; Draghetti, center field; Lamont. right field, with Suita in reserve. All played superb ball and few skyrockets were missed. At the end of the season. Joseph Grigo, star first baseman, was elected cap- tain for the season of 1927.

The team had a nucleus of several veterans and was aided by the able Trackmen of the Class of 1928. At the com- pletion of the season Rhode Island had three decisive victories chalked up to her credit. The most brilliant victory of the season was scored against Northeastern University. They came to Kingston heralded by the newspapers to gather a victory from us. All through the meet it appeared that they would achieve their expectations until the field events were encountered. When the dust finally settled over the cinders at the termination of an exciting meet, Rhody led 85-50. The entire Student Body looked forward to the meet with our next-door neigh- bor and ancient rival — the Connecticut Aggies. In this second meet of the season, Rhody took most of the first places and a good share of seconds and thirds. Another victory was whisked from Conn. Aggies to the tune of 92%-42J-3. Our last dual meet terminated in an overwhelming defeat of Trinity from Hart- ford. They offered but little competition and the affair appeared to be merely a meet of R. I. men. The score was 111-24. Coach Tootell took a squad of twelve men to the New Eng- and Intercollegiates. Strong captured fourth place in a record two-mile run, Talbot, Bosworth, and Brown reached the finals in the 100-yard dash, discus throw, and javelin, respectively. The season showed an excellent record. The two leading scorers were Talbot and Clegg. Much of Rhody’s showing is due to the coaching of Fred Tootell who kept the men under strict standards of training. Walter Gratton was elected captain for the 1927season. Another banner year is expected in Track for the coming season. Walter S. Gratton Captain-Elect John D.

Although Capr. Dring, B. Fine, and Smith were the only veterans left in college, there was plenty of ability in such men as Pykosz, D. Fine, Szulick, Morally, and Kinney from last year ' s Fresh- man team. In the first trials of the season, Capt. Dring, B. Fine, Pykosz, D. Fine, Morally. Szulick, and Kinney were the first seven men to cross the tape and were picked to represent R. I. in its meet with Brown, October 22d. On that October afternoon, over the Kingston course. Brown met an overwhelming defeat for the sixth consecutive time at the hands of the fleet Rhode Islanders. Capt. Dring, who was hard pressed by B. Fine, crossed the tape in 24 minutes 7 seconds. Brown was able to place but one man among the first eight. Lawrence W. Dkini, 1926 Captain In the trials for the Boston University meet, Kinney was replaced by Pilling, a new man in cross country ranks. On October 29th, R. I. was picked as an easy winner over the Bostonians, but this meet turned out to be the most sensational battle ever held on the Kingston course. The first man to appear on the quarry path was Lockhart of B. U„ who finished in the remarkable time of 23 minutes 50 seconds, while close on his heels was Capt. Dring in 24 minutes 1 second. Both men lowered the long-standing record of 24 minutes 4 seconds, set by “Bob” Strong. The remaining men of both teams ran thrilling neck-and-neck races for the other positions. November 6th, on the Kingston course, the same team in the pink of con- dition faced Worcester Tech in the last dual meet of the season. Capt. Dring successfully led his team at a terrific pace that lowered the previous best time” to 23 minutes 39 seconds, thus taking his revenge on Lockhart by 11 seconds, and probably establishing a long-enduring record. Doe of Worcester placed second, followed closely by B. Fine. Although unobserved and uncheered during the greater part of their work over the roads and hills of Kingston, the R. I. Cross Country teams have always placed among the best in the East, with very few stains on the long list of vic- tories. This year, by a continuous smashing of time records and by defeating ex- ceptionally good teams, the 1926 Cross Country team may well be acclaimed the best in the sport annals of Rhode Island State College. A fitting conclusion to the season was the election of “Benny Fine as captain for 1927. Benjamin Fine Captain-Elect Ninety Upper Row: ORR, D.

Basketball, the field upon which most emphasis has been laid, will be discussed later. This space will be devoted to brief summaries of other athletic contests. The Fall of 1926 saw the finals in Tennis played off between the classes of 1927 and 1929, the former being the victor and thus winning the shield for the year 1925-1926. At this time, the 1926 to 1927 series in Tennis has been played through the semi-finals, with the classes of ’27 and ’29 ready to meet in the final match as soon as the weather will permit. Mrs. Winifred M. Keaney Coach Hockey this year was entered into enthusiastically. Two teams w ' ere chosen — a Senior-Soph and a Junior-Frosh. After prolonged practice, a contest was held in which the Junior-Frosh team was victorious, winning the two games by the scores of 2-1 and 4-0, respectively. Archery entered our program a few years ago but has never been developed to any great extent, probably due to a lack of sufficient intensive coaching in archery technique. However, this spring we are hoping to open an interclass archery contest, and also a championship meet for those interested. Baseball andTrack have been almost negligible on the Campus. Since the Spring of 1925, no interclass meets have been held, due to the general lessening of interest in track and a revival of interest in hiking. By the recent organization of the Hiking Club, we hope to see hiking grow ' , along with hockey and basketball. Hiking is one of the three branches of physical exercise that is attracting a great amount of interest. Consequently, the new ' club is fairly strong and has arranged a program of bi-weekly hikes to points of historical interest. This adds an educational as well as a physical value to the new organization. Although several picnic hikes have been arranged, the organization is not purely social, and it is hoped it will prove a vital factor in the physical training of the women, especially of those who have no other interest in athletics.

NEGUS l.irjitr Ro:v: a. sims, o. allebaugh, capt., m. weli.s Basketball Basketball has undoubtedly the most prominent position in co-ed athletics, the period from late November to early April being given over to intensive training in that particular sport. Beginning with pick-up teams, a semi-climax is reached with the Interclass Tournament, the Varsity games completing the season. For the year 1926-1927, the Class of ’27 was the winner of the Interclass Tour- nament for the second consecutive year. Varsity games are scarce this year. The usual games with C. A. C. do not appear on the schedule because of Rhody’s entrance into the N. E. Association of the Na- tional Amateur Athletic Union. However, a second team game was played with Pawtucket High School in which we were victorious.

Two new additions to the club which have been made this year are the Hawaiian Troupe and the Melodians who have added attractiveness to the concerts in South County. One Hundred Twenty-six The Glee Club Orchestra This orchestra, which sometimes is known as the Hawaiian Troupe, is a very late addition to the Glee Club. This troufie has been with the Glee Club through the year, but has managed to give performances of its own at various periods. Left to right are: Albert Coon, George Pratt, Joseph Nehegian, and Nicholas Abbenante. Coon plays the banjo and the Hawaiian guitar. Pratt is the ukelele artist. Nehegian plays the Hawaiian guitar and the banjo uke. Abbenante strums the steel guitar.

Brown in 1924 has made rapid progress in its three years of activity. Its primary duty since it was formed has been to play at the weekly assemblies — a duty which has been a pleasure both to the members of the orchestra and to its auditors. This year the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Ralph E. Brown of the Faculty who has continued the work with excellent results. For the first time, keys will be given to the members who have filled certain requirements that relate to regularity of attendance, a form of reward which it is hoped will prove to be an inducement for embryo musicians in the Student Body, both “Ed” and “Co-ed,” to join. Although not originally intended to be other than a local self-supporting college activity, the orchestra has played in Peacedale, and intends to broadcast over the radio some time during the school year if present plans materialize. Several times, dances have been given at Lippitt Hall by the orchestra and have been well attended by the students, these dances being the primary means of supporting the orchestra. To Mr. Cecil Brown and Mr. Ralph Brown the college owes a debt of gratitude for the sincere interest they have shown and the aid which they have given without which the orchestra could never have survived.

Far from being a mere judiciary body, the council is a forum for the discussion of any matter that pertains to the students or student life.

This loose bond was strengthened in the Fall of 1925 by the formation of the Officers’ Club. Several times during the year prominent military men speak to the members of the club. The friendly feeling created by the club has helped materially in the superior work shown by the battalion in obtaining the rating of Distinguished College for the past two years.

Thousands will :ad it and pronounce it interest- g and clever. Hundreds will read with vivid attention because it is an historical record of a living year in their college activities. Many will read it in future years and live again in memory the days that are now so real. Some — those who have worked so arduously to make this book a suc- cess — will turn its pages with justifiable pride in this noteworthy product of their efforts. It has been, indeed, an appreciated privilege for us to be again associated with the produc- tion of this book, even in the humble capacity of publishers. The volume which we shall place upon our shelves will be a permanent reminder of the interesting relations we have enjoyed with the officers and staff of the 1927 GRIST. We wish them, and all the mem- bers of the outgoing class, the best that the world has to offer. May the enthusiasm which they have shown in their application to this important work be the means of their gaining many other laurels in the years that are ahead. BAKER-JONES-HAUSAUER-Inc.
