I I RHODE ISLAND STATE COLLEGE KINGSTON 1906-1330 rrro one who, with steadfast purpose and undaunted aim toward the ulti- mate goal, has made this college, our college, what it is and what it stands for in the educational system of the State of Rhode Island ; to one who has passed the last milestone in a courageous and well accomplished career; to one who has left with us ideals that will remain immortal ; to Dr. Howard Edwards, our beloved President, the Class of Nineteen Thirty dedicates the Thirtieth Volume of The Grist. Uirtnr iEtuirlj fGui atrnm Jtt HHnnnriam This hour of joy in the completion of our task is tempered with sorrow by the recollection of one who, taken in the first bloom of eager youth — in the second year of our lives together, made life worth while. A brilliant athlete, an excellent student, and a friend whose pass- ing leaves us with a keen sense of personal loss, Victor Enoch Lind- strom, ’30, who died on February 5, 1928, will live on in our hearts, a friend always, as he was in life. (Eljarlfs ?jintry nllanii 3tt fHmuriam Let us not forget him who shared our four years together and has gone to join the members of our Class Triumphant. His pass- ing, with his sunny disposition, ready helping hand, and quiet way of life, leaves a gap in our ranks which can never be filled. Admitting of no distinctions among those with whom he came in contact, Charles Henry Holland, ’30, was a brother to all who knew him. Died November Second, Nineteen Twenty-Nine Joseph Waite Ince, M.A. Faithful Advisor to the Class of 1930 History of Rhode Island State College, is the aim of this, the Thirtieth Volume of The Grist. At the same time to make a mark upon the staff of Father Time, the staff that serves as a perpetual jogger of memory, that will last until we, the Class of 1930, meet again in the great beyond. A mark that will get deeper year by year as we look back upon these four years soon coming to an end, four of the happiest years of our lives, which this book will attempt to serve as an interpreter for.

CASE Governor of Rhode Island Twenty-six Governor Case 9 s Message Wealth is the goal of most men. Some desire power, political or social ; a few want distinction in literature or art and a very few will be satisfied if they can do some good in the world. All of these objects are more or less interwoven, so that the inspirations of men are multiplex, but they all can be summed up in the one word “success.” They seek to accomplish some definite thing in life, and to do so they will have to be both dili- gent and persistent. The quality that is most needed is steadfastness of purpose. Many become discouraged just before reaching the point of achieving their purpose. Harsh though the judgment of the world may seem to be, it is, nevertheless, just. I suggest that you start out in life with right principles. You must be honest and true in spite of all discouragements. A single lapse will destroy the good reputa- tion you may have established, but if you remain steadfast to right principles you either will succeed in your purpose or you at least will have the satisfaction of know- ing that you have fought a good fight. Chance plays its part in success, but those who deserve and win it, strive, watch, and continue steadfast. At Kingston you have laid a substantial foundation. The world is before you and as you go out into it do not forget that Dr. Edwards has shown you the way to your desired goal. His interest in you and this institution is deep. Steadfastness of purpose has been his aim and that of his competent assistants throughout your years here. I congratulate Dr. Edwards, the faculty, and this class upon the commendable record made and entered upon the books of Rhode Island State College. Norman S. Case Governor Providence, R. I., April 2, 1930. Twenty-seven 66 We’ll Cheer for the White and Blue” T HIS book is different from the usual book that one finds on the book-shelves of one’s home. It is an intimate and personal record of a cru- cial period in the lives of those now grouped together as Rhode Island State College. In a sense we are all authors of it. In a sense we are the only readers the book is intended to reach. It will be stored away in the personal belongings of the present group as they disperse, and in the years to come it will be brought out to revive and rekindle mem- ories of the individuals and the group as it lived and moved in the earlier day. But it will also renew the picture of the college of the day when you were the college. What will that picture be? Will it be merely a blurred succession of petty occurrences suggested by i ndi- vidual faces as they pass in review ? Or will it possess a unified coherency, begin- ning in a definite scheme of life and widening out into adequate mental and spiritual growth and achievement? In the perspective of the years, will the small and petty details fade out into a unified picture, characterized by dignity of outline, brilliant with the colors of youthful friendships, and glorified with spiritual vitality and meaning ? The answer lies with us here and now. These characteristics will appear then just in proportion as we now animate and inform our lives with them. That appears fine and beautiful in retrospect to which we have given that which is fine and beauti- ful in ourselves. “We’ll cheer for the white and blue !” Well, in the years to come, will we? The strength of a college lies in the loyalty and love of its alumni. And that loyalty and love — spontaneous, eager, genuine — is generated and maintained by steady mem- ories of a college life exalted by high endeavor and noble companionship. Reader of Twenty Years from Now, as you go over the pages of this book may beautiful memories of today glow in your heart ! may the twenty years roll away from your shoulders, and may your lips once again with youthful enthusiasm “Cheer for the White and Blue.” Howard Edwards February 26, 1930.

Thirty-seven In Departing Now, while the Future beckons, 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, M emories that bring to the parting A sadness akin to pain. Loath are we now to leave it — I Wisdom’s familiar face. W e turn ; we follow the Future, For linger here we must not. Behind us — the past with its pleasures ; Before us — we know not what!

Ince President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Assistant Treasurer . Faculty Advisor In the life of Rhode Island State College, the Class of 1930 is about to enter its record of fine achievement which our members have made for our Alma Mater. Scholastically, our class has maintained a standing which it might well be proud of. Beside this, our class also provided fine leaders for extra-curricula activities. Fair play and sportsmanship have always characterized Rhode Island athletic teams, and aside from the manly spirit which our class has upheld, it gave to our Alma Mater one of the b est football teams our College has ever had. Our social functions have been successes in all respects, the Soph Hop and Junior Prom adding much to the dignity and esteem which our College enjoys throughout the state. During our brief stay in Kingston we have made friendships which we will always cherish and hold dear. However, we are now passing one of the milestones of life. In the days to come, may we meet with the same measure of success that has characterized our College life, and thus bring honor and glory to our Alma Mater. Forty-c ST Frederick Stephen Ackroyd, A X A Providence, R. I. “Ack,” “Fred,” “Scoop” Business Administration Basketball (1, 2, 3,4); Captain (1 and 4); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); R. I. Club (3, 4); Class President (3); Junior Prom Committee ; Advertising Manager, Rhode Island State College Players; Ec- onomics Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Fred, better known as “Ack,” has played a rather important role in the activities of Rhode Island since 1926. On the court as a pivot man, he has endeared himself to the student body through his ability to get the ball and put it through the hoop. As a pitcher on the nine, his ability to get the ball by the batter in the pinches has won many games for Rhode Island. He has not confined his activities to the sports alone, but has played a prominent part as a journalist in putting the college before the public. On social com- mittees and as a class officer, he has shown his worth. Always of a cheerful and pleasant disposition, Fred has made innumerable friendships during his four years at R. I. Walter William Anderson, A X A Pawtucket, R. I. “Andy,” “Walt Business Administration Track (1, 2, 3, 4); R. I. Club (3, 4); Economist’s Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Junior Hat Committee (3); Student Council (4). Introducing Andy, our congenial classmate from Pawtucket. Andy came to Rhode Island in quest of knowledge, and what he doesn ' t know, about Business Administration, is not taught at Rhody. Walt has participated in all sorts of activities, and has made an enviable record as a student, athlete, and a darn popular boy. We all wish him the best of luck in whatever he decides to do.

Perhaps he is best known as editor of our weekly paper, “The Beacon.” His activities are varied and numerous at all times, even including Co-education in his Senior year. Jimmie’s jokes and witty replies are a continuous source of fun and enjoyment for his associates. He is always busy as shown by the list of his activities and the fact that he has worked his own way besides. One may wonder how he has time to do so many things well. One of the secrets of his success is that he can apparently sleep through an entire lecture anrl vet nhccrK it oil Forty-two George Ellis Arnold, 1 £ Wakefield, R. I. “George” Electrical Engineering Elect. Eng. Society. When George came to Kingston four years back, from “down” the line,” “Rhody” was gifted with one of those rare personalities in which gentleman and student are combined. Realizing his abil- ity, one is not surprised that he is so successful in his college work, although most of his leisure time is spent in “tickling the ivories” for a local orchestra, or playing “private secretary” for the South Kingstown High School. In addition to all this, he still finds sufficient time to act as “guardian of the bath-house” at the Pier during the summer months, and “swing a mean racquet” when the occasion demands. Our sojourn with you has been one of utmost pleasure, and it is to our advantage to have you as a friend. Gerald Edward Bean, £ A E Kingston, R. I.

(3); First Lieu- tenant (4); Rifle Team (1, 2); Orchestra (1, 2); R. I. Club (3,4) ; Kingston Players (2, 3) ; Chem. Society (1, 2, 3). Had Kipling lived today, Jerry’s educated underpinnings would have been more than sufficient inspiration for another famous bit of poetry, not this time entitled “Boots,” but “Legs.” In short, he has been getting wonderful training for a future career as a Mail-man by being one of Mr. Tootell’s mainstays on the Cross Country Team. He is always in the best of spirits. Even when he is running, he has time to smile down (down is used advisedly) at any whom he chances to pass. Of him, we may say, “a la Chesterfield,” in Kingston its College, in Cross Country its Bean. Rita Frances Bergin, X Q Waterbury, Conn. “Rrr” Wittiest Girl Home Economics Freshman Banquet Committee; Glee Club (3); House Pres- ident (3,4); May Day (2, 3); Home Economics Club (1, 2, 3, 4). Here is the girl with the sparkling Irish wit, who, with her irrepressible good nature has made numerous friends on both sides of the campus. But why the sudden interest in week-ending in Providence? , ■ „ , , Rita is very fond of teaching (?) especially demonstrating left handed button-holes. . As to her future plans, Rita is keeping those m the dark, but whatever they may be, we wish her the best of success. Forty-three TH®9§@I ST Ruth Christine Bishop, L K, D A Providence, R. I.

Who is it we have seen in the midst of our social and athletic activities the past four years? To be certain it is our Tommy! It is she who is always ready to accept responsibility and in the end portrays ingenuity, which is unsurpassed by her classmates. Tommie’s friendliness and generosity are extended to all who are in need, which makes her one of the popular members of the class. Barbara Bradford Brand, ZK,$i Rumford, R. I. “Bobby,” “Brandie Home Economics Best Dancer Most Versatile Freshman Banquet Committee; Sophomore Hop Committee; Junior Prom Committee; May Day Festival (2, 3.4); Glee Club (2. 3, 4); Soph Beacon, Assistant Editor of Co-ed Beacon (2, 3); Phi Delta (2, 3, 4) ; Properly Mistress (4) ; Freshman Reception Committee (4); Chairman Phi Delta Play and Dance (4); Art Editor Grist Board (4); Home Economics Club (1, 2, 3, 4). “Best Dancer,” “Most Versatile!” The senior class certainly knew whereof it spoke when it placed these titles on Brandie. Bobbie Brand and dancing are almost synonymous. Her scholas- tic record has been an enviable one, and with her ability as an artist, she holds a unique position, for her inspiration has been the source of the many posters she turns out for every social event. She is equally competent at the tea table or ferroting out prop erties for Phi Delta — to say nothing of manufacturing sporting goods. (Remember those “B” jerseys?) We have a feeling Bobby is going to duplicate her successful college career when she goes out into the world. We will be watching you, Bob, and good luck. Susan Louise Brucker, A Z Westerly, R. I. Sue, Sammy” General Science Tennis (3); Basketball (1, 3, 4); Vigilance (4); Debating (2); Debate Coimcil (4); Class Secretary (4); Chemistry Society (2, 3, 4) ; Chem. Lab. Association (3). Sue is a Chemist through and through — and for this reason is a god-send to the struggling Frosh and Sophs. Of course you will understand, she is not entirely business-like, and not at all a grind, for you’ll find her at nearly every social function — and her love of fun is a welcome addition to all our activities. On the basketball floor her good work in the center court helped the pernors beat those snappy Freshmen. Her good nature, pluck, fairness and personality will carry Sue far in her chosen line, a line which is so seldom attempted by women. ST William John Callahan, A T T, $ K f Fall River, Mass. “Bill,” “Cal” Mechanical Engineering M. E. Society (3, 4); Junior Prom Committee (3); Military Ball Committee (4); Officers Club (3, 4); R. O. T. C., Corporal (2), Sergeant 3, Lieutenant (4) ; Student Council (4). “Bill” comes from Fall River, but that’s about the only thing that anyone can hold against him. His undoubted success as a math student soon won him recognition and as an assistant in the math department he has won the gratitude and respect of the puz- zled Frosh. No one could ever call “Bill” a co-edder, but he has had “affaires de coeur” though of a flavor somewhat foreign to Kingston soil, which have, nevertheless, been w ' atched with con- siderable interest by his collegiate cohorts. Well, the best of luck “Bill!” Eve Gertrude Calland Pawtucket, R. I. Home Economics Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Commencement Play (1) ; Home Econom- ics Club; Class Basketball (3, 4); Manager Baseball (2) ; House Secretary (2); Secretary Glee Club (3); Class Hockey (2, 3, 4); Baseball (1, 2, 3) ; House President (3, 4). “A Jolly little fellow is he” — and a jolly little girl is Eve! Smilingly, she entered college and smilingly she leaves. Ever brightening the way for her fellow-students, Eve has w ' on a place in our hearts forever. She has been active in all sports and has willingly done all jobs assigned to her. That she will be success- ful we are quite confident. Our best wishes go with you, Eve. Edmund Dante Cappucilli Warren, R. I. “Ed,” “Cappie” Business Administration Best Dancer Most Collegiate Freshman Football; R. O. T. C. Band (1, 2); Corp (2); Stu- dent Band (3); Track (1, 2, 3, 4); Dramatics (3, 4). Cappie was a business man before he entered college, as anyone who has submitted to his tonsorial treatments will testify. In fact, Ed is Pridy Rawdon’s only rival in the art of “a shave and a haircut.” His activities however, prove that work and play are the atoms that make up the molecule of success. The greatest of luck to the “model collegian” of our class ! Forty-five Esther Peabody Cary Bristol, R. I. “Et Home Economics Hockey (2, 3); Chairman of World Fellowship of Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club (2, 3); House President (4). There goes “Et,” who is one of the blonds of the class of ’30. She is a member of the Dish-washing gang of South Hall. The dishes move mighty lively, so we know “Et” to be a rapid worker. Our classmate is a good student as shown by her fine record. Home Economics and Bacteriology have claimed “Et’s” atten- tion. Her future is as yet undecided, but we feel sure it will be a success. Arthur Louis Catudal, $BX Providence, R. I. “Cannon,” “Skipper” Civil Engineering Football (1, 2); Track (1, 2, 3); Orchestra (1); Sophom-ore Flop Committee (2); Junior Prom Committee (3); Student Council (2); Polygon (3, 4); C. E. Society (1, 2, 3, 4). Cannonball,” the impersonator, humorist, and scholar, lays further claim to versatility through the development of original scientific and mechanical ideas. Art’s ability to personify anyone, his eccentric character, mold- ed together with his scholarly way, has enabled him to make a host of friends. Needless to say “Cannonball” is a member of the combination of “Catudal and Mainelli Inc.,” originators of many a humorous remark. With the above qualities in mind, we can’t help predicting a successful future. “Sail on Skipper!” George Rittenhouse Champlin Kingston, R. I. “Rrr General Science R. O. T. C. (1, 2, 3, 4); Sergeant (3); Captain (4); Military Ball Committee (4); Kingston Players (2, 3, 4); Treasurer (4). George is well known to all of us as the able assistant at the Village P. O., and he can sure juggle the mail bags, packages or letters. Being Post Master he also knows about all the doings of our local town. He is also well known to many Frosh and Sophs as a stern and stalwart Captain in the Army. Fierce and loud are the commands that he barks at the careless Frosh. But above all, George shines brightest as a chemist, and we may expect to see our old classmate’s name in Who’s Who as one of the great chemists of our generation. ST Ralph Burdick Cornell, 3 E Westerly, R. I. “Hawk” Civil Engineering Officers’ Club (3, 4); Military Ball Committee (3); C. E. Society (2, 3, 4); Baseball (1); Track (2, 3, 4). “All the world loves a lover,” applies to this gentleman. “Hawk’s” interest in his fellow-men and their doings always has been apparent to those who really know him and appreciate his natural aptitude for helping others. Furthermore, so intense is his love for sport that he is never able to speak above a whisper following any exhibition of Coach Keaney ' s athletes. At the present writing, we have been unable to learn whether it was his good dancing, his gentlemanly manners, or his ever-present op- timism and cheerfulness that first attracted Florence. Henry James Cragan, PIK, TKA, O K O Mystic, Conn. “Joe,” “Crege” Business Administration Best All-Round Most Versatile Varsity Football (2, 3, 4); President, Men’s Student Council (4); President, Lecture Association (4); Tau Kappa Alpha (3, 4); Scholastic Honors (3, 4); Scabbard and Blade (3, 4); Officers’ Club 3, 4; Economist’s Club (2, 3, 4) ; R. I. Club (2, 3, 4) ; Phi Kappa Phi (4). Henry James, and his last name is Cragan! But who would have guessed it, for while at Rhody he has had no other “handle” than good old “Joe.” This Versatile Youth, as he was voted by the Senior Class, sure has lived up to his name. He has come out on top in all his undertakings. In his Senior year he proved his athletic ability by his startling performances on the gridiron. Scholastically, he has done well enough to have Phi Kappa Phi honor him with their invitations, and socially, he is one of the most popular men on the campus, being liked by all. Everyone wishes “Joe” success and wonders how they will greet him next year; as a Lieutenant of Aviation, or Captain of Industry. Elmer Eliot Davenport, © X Roslindale, Mass. “Elm,” “Wanska Civil Engineering Football (1, 2, 3); First Lieutenant (4); First Sergeant (3); Corporal (2); Scabbard and Blade; Officers’ Club. Elmer hails from the big city of Roslindale, of which Boston is a suburb, and is another mainstay of Lanza. When he landed here in Kingston four years ago, his hearty laugh and uncanny wit immediately became known to Eds and Co-eds alike. Due to his congeniality and earnestness of purpose, we are sure he will be a success in the Engineering world when he leaves us in June. Good luck, Elmer. Forty-seven thkQS ist Donald Keith Davidson, 0 X Brockton, Mass. “Don,” “Rajah,” “Du-Dab Business Administration Rope Pull (1); Freshman Football (1); Freshman Track; Varsity Football (2, 3, 4); Varsity Track (2, 4); R. 1.

There goes “Rajah,” the big boy of our campus. Tall! Hand- some ! Exquisite ! And talk about versatility, there is nothing that he can ' t do and do well. Gridiron or track, he is an artist. Go to any dance and if he isn’t there tooting the meanest sax that you ever heard, he is head of the music committee. “Don” has made college worth while by taking the Engineering course as well as Business Administration. Just talk to “Don” and proclaim, as we all have done, that he is our conversationalist, superb. Joseph Raymond Davis, A X A Warren, R. I. “Joe,” Civil Engineering Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Baseball (1); Track (2); Rope Pull (1); Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Phi Delta (2, 3, 4); Property Man- ager (4); C. E. Society (2, 3, 4); R. I. Club (4); Soph Hop Committee; Soph Picnic Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Polygon (3); Managing Editor of Grist. Here we have Warren’s contribution to the class of 1930 and Joe has certainly put Warren on the Kingston map, in every line of endeavor. He is a student, athlete, and all around good fellow, as can readily be seen by his long list of activities. If Joe enters into his profession with the same tenacity and dil- igence that he did as an engineer at Rhode Island, we feel sure that he will be a success, and we wish him the best of luck. Alexander De Pari Providence, R. I. “Lefty General Science Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Football (1); Bible Class (2, 3); Biol- ogy Society (3, 4). “Lefty” is our jolliegt of the jolly. Knowing his own capabil- ities, he soon found out that most things are “easy” or at least could be accomplished “one hand.” He was an ardent devotee of sports, both indoor and outdoor. The hardest man to beat in the former, he was also quite well known as a baseball and golf player. We take our hats off to the man who can go one week without Italian cooking and still retain his sympathetic smile.

Here is our famous Home Eccer from Maine, and can she cook! Besides excelling in purely domestic arts. Gene has been our mainstay center on the varsity Basketball team ever since she towered above the opposing center in her freshman year. An athlete, a master cook, and a number-one sport ! Gene’s future intentions are unknown but we do know that New Jersey holds a strong interest for her. Howard Andrew Droitcour, $MA,$K$ Edgewood, R.

O. T. C. (4) ; Military Ball Committee (4); Polygon (4). Howie needs no introduction to us, as he has made an enviable record at Rhode Island. While at R. I. State he has not con- fined his attentions to any one phase, and he has been successful in all endeavors. We l ' eel confident that he will make good our belief that he is most likely to succeed. Good luck, Howie, and may you succeed as an engineer as you have at Rhody. Clarence Leonard Elmstrom, l L Eden Park, R. I. “Bill,” “Elky Applied Science Track (1) ; Football (2); Chemical Society (3, 4); Biological Society (3, 4) ; Rope Pull (1). “Bill’s” motto has been “Don’t let it worry you.” His pleasant personality and ever-willing desire to help others has won for him a host of friends. Bill is an athlete of no mean ability. When he entered “Rhody” four years ago, he brought with him the distinction of having won the New England Amateur Bicycle Championship. His bicycling career has kept him from performing on the grid- iron, the diamond, and on the cinder path, where he is equally at home as he is on the board track of a cycledrome.

Technical High School endowed us with this winning youth in the year 1926, and he has continued to be a source of constant pleasure to us during his four years sojourn here at Kingston. His studious habits and decorous demeanor are not the best of criteria to judge his personality by as we, who know him, have found him congenial and entertaining at all times. We can wish you no more than a future of luck and prosperity as a chem- ist, “Mike.” Tibor Martin Farkas, I A E, $ i Linden, N. J. Tib,” “Tibby Business Administration Phi Delia (1, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (2); R. I. State College Players (3); Manager Freshman Basketball (3); Sophomore Hop Committee ; Economist Club. Here he is, “Tib,” the most original entertainer, hailing from the State of mosquitoes. Never is he satisfied with the general trend of affairs, and always devising new things and doings. Many are the humorous tales he tells of his experiences as an ordinary seaman, running to Panama or Egypt. With his never failing wit, he has sailed through college, gathering a host of friends. Always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, he has smoothed the road for many. Always a loyal supporter of the Saturday night dances, he has turned to support the system of Co-education. Luck to you, “Tib,” and may life ever be a calm sea with fair winds. Charles Edward Flaherty, P I K Barrowsville, Mass. “Charlie,” “Nick” Business Administration Scabbard and Blade; Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Captain (4) ; Foot- ball (3, 4); Officers’ Club (3, 4); Vice President (4); Econ- omist’s Club (2, 3, 4); R. I. Club (3, 4). Charlie rates as one of the outstanding athletes of our class. Anyone who saw this lightweight halfback weave through the Conn. Aggies’ defense last November, can testify that it was a real triumph of ability and brains over brawn. His ability on the diamond is also shown by his being captain of the varsity and the club’s leading hitter. Scholastically he has done extremely well as is shown by his success in instructing his fellow students in accounting. In the army he has gained an enviable record as a Lieutenant, and socially, well, Charlie’s quiet and unassuming manner certainly accomplishes great things with the “fairer sex.” In short, this youth’s well balanced combination of personal- ity, ability and a host of friends are sure to carry him to a well deserved success in life.

Starting off with a bang upon entering college and setting a record for four years that will not be equaled for a long while to come, Joe graduates with the distinction of being the first one to obtain a B.S. in Co-eding at Rhode Island. His debating activities were just a side-line as he reserved his real talent for use in the “Sessions” over which he ruled with an iron hand. As an engineer, Joe is going to improve upon or replace every kind of mechanical contrivance now upon the market. We expect great things from the one and only “Joe Pos.” William John Gaidys, ATT Nashua, N. H. “Pop,” “Bill Chemical Engineering Freshman Football and Baseball; Interfraternity Basketball (2, 3); Chemical Society (1, 2, 3, 4). New Hampshire sent us this quite pensive youth, but his geniality has won for him many strong, enduring friendships. Economically speaking, he was one who derived the optimum returns by mixing his studies and pleasures in the proper pro- portions. His pleasures did not include the West side of the campus, but it is believed that it is only because he is a faithful one, — and yet who knows ? Well “Pop,” your sojourn here has been a pleasant one no doubt, and we hope it will continue to be so as you step into the Chemical world. Here ' s luck to you.

Society (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Fraternity Basketball. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” would certainly be an appropriate motto for Ro. “Gig” started with the class of ’28, but like many others he made the mistake of mixing too much social life with his educa- tion. The result was that he had to join the school of hard knocks to prove that he was capable. If persistency and stick-to-it-tiveness are any indications of one’s success, then we have no fear of Ro making a place for himself when he leaves us to go out in the cold, cruel world. Fifty-c ST Alexander Smith Glen, B D Newport, R. I. “Midg,” “Alex” Mechanical Engineering M. E. Society (2, 3, 4); R. 0. T. C.; Lieutenant (4). Alex, better known as Midg because of his abbreviated height, hails from the southern portion of “The City by the Sea.” His fertile imagination and Scottish sense of humor in story telling have been sources of huge enjoyment to his fellow classmates. His ability and originality in the mechanical line has secured for him the name M. I. T. Midg, while not an honor student, has experienced no real difficulty in passing his courses and of late has developed a taste for literary and cultural subjects. For Midg we can predict a bright future because of his pleas- ing personality; his ability to make quick judgments and stand behind them ; and his natural aptitude for anything mechanical. Lawrence Gorton Greene East Greenwich, R. I. “Larry” Electrical Engineering E. E. Society (3, 4); Student Branch, A. I. E. E. (4).

When Larry acquired all the knowledge that was possible at Tech., he de- cided to study the technique of formulae juggling in the “E. E. course and Co.” He is a serious and conscientious worker. Larry has shown himself capable, not only in overcoming those “sweetish 6 A. M. dreams” to catch his train for Kingston, but has successfully coped with his various courses. Although singing is his hobby, Larry will not broadcast over any radio stations, but will continue in the engineering line, in w ' hich he will no doubt make his fellow-workers sit up and take notice.

Joe came to us From way up in West Warwick, to gain a knowledge of bugs and animals and has made an enviable record in all of his studies. Furthermore, Joe has a keen sense of humor which enlivens the party wherever he goes. His activ- ities show that he is a leader and his genial personality has won for him the admiration and well-wishes of his classmates and everyone that he has met. We wish you the best of luck, Joe, in whatever you may do in the future.

Roy” came to Kingston from the Pine Tree State, and like a tall pine, he has forged his way up above his classmates to win success in many lines of college activity. He is one that believes that earnest endeavor always means success in the end. He has worked hard, studied faithfully, given his best in Varsity ath- letics, and as a faithful Aggie has greatly furthered the cause of agriculture here at Rhody. His natural ability and persistency are sure signs of future attainment. Albert Braman Higgins, $MA,$i Providence, R. I. “Al, A B” Electrical Engineering E. E. Society (3. 4); R. 0. T. C.

Quiet, unassuming “Al” screens his Edisonian efficiency under a veneer of nonchalance that causes one to surmise that he is a mere “man about town” instead of what he is in reality, — an ear- nest worker in the province of electro-dynamics. “Andy’s” theo- ries have been so well tested at many of our major dances and our weekly movies that “Al” has won a state-wide reputation as a Projectionist, Producer, Electrician and Decorator. Yes, “Al” is cognizant to the fact that R. I. is a co-educational institution. His fiery red chariot is both useful and ornamental and never deviates from a set course about our campus. We predict a full measure of success for “Al” in that up-to-the- minute branch of “E. E.” known as the talkies.” Norman Higginson, AAW Pawtucket, R.

He’s a one-girl man and you haven’t a chance. As a football captain, as a student, and on campus, Dick has proven himself a really fine leader. Equally at home, whether rounding Connecticut’s right end, or throwing thermo for a loss, he has won his way into our hearts with his smile and good-natured manner.

Such ex- pressions plus his understanding personality and character have attracted many friends. Being of such nature, Joe found more joy in helping others than in doing any other one thing. Truly, many found him a comforter and an inspiration. Ambitious himself, it was rare when one found him without anything to do. Either the laboratory, library, or athletic field claimed his time. Has Joe an ideal? He certainly has. He is striving to be- come a chemist. Best of luck, little man!

Massachusetts has often bequeathed to Rhode Island a man who has proved himself to be an athlete, or a man who has stood first in studies, or a man who has excelled in the social life of Kingston, but with the arrival of Matty Kearns, we received a well-balanced combination of all three. In regards to athletics, Kearns has the distinction of being Rhode Island ' s one and only three-letter man. He also proved himself to be a student of no mean ability by conquering the E. E. course in four years, and finally in his Junior year he turned his HEART and footsteps towards the western side of the campus, and became the bright- est social light in Kingston.

For almost four years, Dot has been numbered among the commuters, and each morning through rain or shine, she has chugged up to Davis in her chariot.

His achievement in this field at Rhody has certainly given him a good start toward filling the shoes of some eminent chemist. Ely is determined to discover the properties of the unknown elements of nature. Our “chemist” intends to further his study at Brown Univer- sity and we wish him the best of luck.

However, what he may lack in stature is more than compensated for by an abundance of ability. Not only as a stonewall in Prof. Jackson’s courses, but as one of the mainstays of the Beacon in his capacity of Managing Editor, he has made an enviable record. He intends to take up graduate work at one of the leading colleges in the East and we may hope to hear in the future from our highly successful chemist, “Horsey” Kreinick. Fish Harry Z. Lawton, B I Newport, R. I. Economist Club, Interfraternity Basketball. Harry, better known to those who live with him as Fish be- cause of his monopoly on the fish business in Newport, has changed considerably since his debut at R. I. as a freshman. Coming here as a quiet and unassuming youth, he has acquired a taste for devilment and the vices which are the downfalls of so many college students. But vices in the hands of a strong minded man are but playthings, and for this reason, we can not see anything but prosperity and happiness in his walk through life. Best of luck, old man.

His pleasing personality and good nature have won him many friends, especially of the fairer sex, and his faint heart will undoubtedly win him a fair lady. Perhaps that is because he devoted his time to athletics ; never- theless he has shown that he came here for better, and we hope in leaving that the world will receive him, just the same.

Four years of football and election to Phi Kappa Phi is a win- ning combination. It is also an unusual and difficult success to attain. Yet “Mac” has won this and many other honors while taking an outstanding part in numerous activities. Popular with everyone, his ability as a leader was twice recognized by the class. In his Sophomore year, “Mac” was elected class treasurer, and finally, the class demonstrated its supreme confidence in him by election to the presidency as a Senior. Just as we have placed our confidence in him in 1930, so in the years to come, we expect to find the members of the class of ' 30 confiding in Dr. McCue.

As for studies, concentration is her motto, with debating and Carlyle her favorite flavors.

Four years ago, Pawtucket selected from its ranks a certain individual, noted for his wit and agreeable sense of humor, and sent him to Rhody to amuse the fellows here for the duration of his college career. Phil, the Pawtucket candidate for the Nobel humor award, amply fulfilled all expectations that his home town harbored for him as a humorist. But Phil’s specialty was not wit, for he decided to follow the E. E. course as a major and allow his humor to be ranked as a minor. Phil has decided that he will shock the world with the spark of life with which the E. E. course has charged him. As he would say, “The odds that I will make good are even.” Christina Margaret Schmidt, L K Peacedale, R. I. “Chris” Home Economics Most Thorough Lady May Day (1, 2); Home Ec. Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (4). Four years ago, there came into our midst our own “Chris,” who needs little introduction, for the very fact that she is con- sidered the “Most Thorough Lady” in our class speaks for itself. Perhaps you may have seen her cutting figures down on Thirty,” gracefully gliding over the ice, which reveals an outward nature for the best of life. Chris’s disposition remains calm at all times, and in her congeniality one finds the essence of true com- panionship. THMMIST Bertha Snell, ( 5 A Providence, R. I. “Bert” Home Economics Phi Delta; Hockey (1, 2,4); Class Basketball (4); Glee Club (2, 3). “Bert” is one of the smallest members of our class, but what is size? She is full of pep, and a great talker. When it comes to being a good sport, Bert is right there. Her generosity will long be remembered by the girls in Davis Hall by Bert’s return from one of her week ends at home, ladened with pink cake. Home Economics has drawn the interest of this small person, and we know by the results that she will be a success in her future work. Umberto Spadetti, Providence, R. I. “Spad” Electrical Engineering Track (1, 2); E. E. Society (3, 4); Student Branch A. . E. E. (4). This serious young man is one of the “train chasers” from Providence. After his “pass-on” from Tech., Spad decided to come to Rhody and join the E. E. squad in their play with “volts and “Amps,” under “Andy’s” leadership. He is possessed with an analytical frame of mind, and under his methodical attacks, the various engineering problems have met defeat. Although “Spad never neglects his studies, he finds time to participate in his favorite indoor sports, — “bridge” in Kingston, and “?” in Providence. Spad” is deeply interested in engineering and some day we shall expect to see him in a responsible position. Kenneth Krusen Sperl Newton, Mass. “K. K.,” “Ken” Electrical Engineer ing Rope Pull (1); Chenl Society (1); Rifle Team (1); Track (1, 2, 3); Electrical Engineering Society (1, 2, 3, 4); President E. E. Society (4); Student Member of A. I. E. E. “K. K’s” home is Newton and he received his high school train- ing there. “Ken” is frequently heard defending the merits of his home town against all comers. “Ken,” having had practical experience in electricity, decided to continue his study of that course here, and, as his record shows, he was successful. His popularity is affirmed by his elec- tion to the Presidency of the E. E. Society. If “Ken” hits the bulls-eye in life as hard and as often as he did in his freshman year, there will be no doubt of his success. Sixty- fit ST Harold Hosbach Steinle, A A W Providence, R.

Who is that sophisticated little gentleman strolling across the campus with several books under his arm ? Why, he is none other than our friend “Hon” Steinle, eagerly in search of knowledge. But, hold on a minute ; let us not form our conclusions too soon. “Hon” is not one who would be content with all study and no play. There isn’t a social event or athletic contest that would be complete without his presence. Likewise our Grist Board would not function so smoothly without his guiding ability as Business Manager. His career is as yet indefinite, but we feel sure it will be a success. “Sy” “Ed’ S. Edward Sulkin, AEII Dorchester, Mass.

To the land of the “bean” and the “cod” we owe our thanks for sending us “Alcibiades.” Sy ’ has devoted a good part of his time to extra-curricula work and at the same time has managed to acquire grades which are not far below the standards of Phi Kappa Phi. “Sy” has made many friends by his part in organizing the Student Band, and by his playing with Baker’s Nite-Hawks,” who furnish Down-thc-line amusement for adventurous college students. With the qualities which this youth possesses, the medical career he has planned for himself is sure to be a successful one. Albert Herman Suter, ATT Providence, R. I.

But Al’s right there, ready to crack a joke or beaker with the same effortless non-chalance. A1 has been spending his Autumn afternoons wrapped in mole-skins and mud for the last four years but has always managed to recuperate m time to throw the javelin and shot in the Spring season. Al- though his athletic endeavors have taken much of his time they did not affect his studies. Indeed, he has made a definite success of his college career. Here’s luck to you, kid, and plenty of it Nathaniel Falker Tarbox, A X A, T K A Biddeford, Maine “Red Business Administration Captain Frosh Football (1); Chairman of Frosh Banquet Committee (1); Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4); Secretary (4); Rope Pull (1); Track (1); Masonic Club (2, 3, 4); Vice Pres- ident (3); President (4); Economist’s Club (2, 3, 4); Officers’ Club (3, 4); R.

Here we have Red, a product of Maine both in physique and mentality. Coming to R. I. in 1924, Red thought the Military at- mosphere of Norwich more to his taste and transferred there for a year. However, the glamour of Rhody drew him back and to all of us he is a welcome and worthwhile member of the class of 1930. Red has engaged in many activities and is well liked by his classmates. Being greatly interested in aviation, he intends to go into that field after graduation, and we all wish him the best of luck. Barbara Frederica Thompson, L K, D A Providence, R.

The lovely Lady Olivia utters her strains of melancholy and the next minute we see the same Bobby tearing across the green in search of her girl-friends. An accomplished actress, and at the same time endowed with both coaching and executive ability, Bobby has opened her way to success in Phi Delta. Goodness of heart, profound understanding and a sweet dis- position have truly earned for her the popularity that lays its claim upon her. Equally adept in the Terpsichorean and culinary arts — need we predict any other than the best this old world can offer, to our Bobby?

Visit Thirty Acres any warm day in early March or late Octo- ber, and you’ll find Billy in swimming. Canoeing and tramping all over this historic country-side come in for their bit too! Billy’s ambition is to be a welfare worker. In this work her personality, f airmindedness, and ability to see the bright side of everything will be not only an asset to herself, but an advantage to others.

Vially — remarkable for diminutiveness and force of person- ality, as well as a happy, hustling disposition! Just try to keep up with her! This year, Vially’s chief interest has been off cam- pus, but in her first three years she rated one hundred per cent in eding.

Hail to one of the few and far between Phi-Kap-ers ! Irene has blazed her way into our midst scholastically and vocally and we all have a happy little feeling when we see our Titian-haired classmate. However, marks have not been Irene’s sole purpose in college, for she has entered into our activities and extended her range of friends greatly. With her cheerful word and help- ful hand, we have no doubt of Irene’s success. William Wansker Newtonville, Mass. Bill,” “Wee Will Electrical Engineering Football (1, 2); Track (1, 2, 3, 4); E. E.

A reasonable amount of pleasure has had much hard work mixed with it, such as going down the line, and numerous dances. Prac- tising engineers will soon have some real competition from Bill. Philip Joseph Wiggenhauser, B $ Newport, R.

From the sophisticated and exclusive town of Newport, has come to us this true son of Rhody. Possessing a pleasing person- ality, he proclaims what he believes to be right — formulating his own opinions with a keen sense of self-reliance, but still with an open ear for constructive and wise counsel. For sterling honesty and loyal friendship, you can’t find his equal. Phil has won the plaudits of his fellow students on the basket- ball court, and we feel confident that he will reach the topmost rung of the ladder of achievement. God-speed, old man.

His transmutation from a naive frosh to an inexplicable senior is the final proof that the alchemists were right. “Hammy” delights in delving into such recondite subjects as the Tesla-Luminescence Spectra and the artificial disruption of the nucleus of the atom. If he can survive the hemp cigars do- nated by his friend, Prof. Hetherington, we feel sure that he will rank eventually with the leading physical chemists of his time. dh - C-c.o-6 cl Elizabeth Sophia Williamson Westerly, R.

When on campus however, she is usually to be found in the midst of a rollicking, happy group among which she acts as a ring leader and mentor. As the original “Mamie” of the Practice House, Sophie has successfully shown her skill in the culinary art. If she continues in this line after commencement, she is bound to meet with great success.

With a conscientious and assiduous spirit, she has gone through four years of successful college life, gath- ering many lasting personalities on her wav.

It did not take Rhody long to become acquainted with Paul, his friendly grin, and his conscientious work both in college classes and activities. Unfortunately for R. I., he did not spend his freshman and sophomore days at Kingston, but he has somewhat made up for this mistake with his outstanding achievements in Varsity baseball and basketball. Moreover, through his work as Physics Lab Instructor, he soon became known to us all as “Prof.” Whenever anything goes wrong, whether it be a basket- ball shot, a math problem, or trouble with the Ford, Paul cas- ually remarks “That’s bad,” and immediately remedies the fault. “P.

Kenneth believes in the installment plan, even in Education; for he began with the class of 1920 and stayed only two years. After two years of practical education, he returned for his Junior year. The next eight years were taken up with farming and salesmanship, but a yearning for school and the teaching profes- sion led him back to join the class of 1930. More power to your ambition, Kenneth. Eric G. Osterlund Class History of 1931 Eric G. Osterlund ......... President Barbara L. Kendrick Vice-President Robert S. Sherman Treasurer Virginia Lovejoy Secretary As the Class of 1931 advances on the way to its final destination, it leaves eradicable marks of successful enterprise along the path. It has steadily blazed its way in all branches of endeavor to new and greater heights. It has presented able men and leaders in scholarship, athletics, dramatics, and the numerous other activ- ities ; men never to be forgotten for their grit, stamina, and sportsmanship. The first year with all its rules and regulations, passed quickly, leaving memo- ries of one of the most successful Frosh teams ever to be developed — the first one to beat Conn. With this milestone passed, we stepped right into the serious role of being Sophomores, and proceeded to establish a concrete reputation by making the Soph Hop. After this, we continued unabated to swell our list of successful enter- prises. In all fields, Ed and Co-ed, the Sophs were prominent for their ability and accomplishment. But our task is far from finished. Our greatest undertakings still lie before us. And we will tackle them with all the vigor and ambition that has marked our trail through the past. Prom time — to make this event our outstanding venture, to make it always memorable, is our task. And to make the final year one that is worthy of Seniors and a class such as the Class of 1931.

Westervelt Treasurer Barbara M. Masterson Assistant Treasurer Frank W. Keaney Faculty- Adviser The Class of 1932, now half way through its career at Rhode Island State College is establishing a record high above the average. Many of our members are setting a high standard for our name by their efforts in Scholarships, Dramatics, The Beacon, Glee Club, Orchestra, and Athletics. Entering in 1928, we were the largest class ever to enroll at Rhody, and due to the quality and character of our members we have been able to return this year, still topping the other classes in numerical strength. Our Freshman year seems to have capped the climax in inter-class warfare, for the powers that be considered our class spirit too vivacious to go without reprimand, which reprimand was duly forthcoming at the Assembly following the Sophomore-Freshman struggle; one in which we were decidedly the victors. Containing as many capable members as it does, our class required the united efforts of all, including the adviser to bring about the successful election of a group of executives. The annual “Soph Hop” held last December at the new Gymnasium was a brilliant success, conceded by all present to have been equalled by none. What is greater than all such material accomplishment is the fact that we have shown, and expect always to show, the good old Rhode Island spirit.

Providence THf9g@IST Freshman Class History of 1933 Robert Cragan Robert Cragan Betty Pickersgill Kenneth Krauche Anne McCarville . Mary Besse President Vice-President T reasurer Assistant Treasurer Secretary We, of the Class of 1933, arrived on Campus in September, 1929, as innocent as all the classes before us — But the upper classmen soon set to work educating us. After learning our songs well and studying our Bible faithfully we soon lost ourselves in the student life on the campus. A great quantity of talent has been discovered among us. The band welcomed our musicians with open arms and the heretofore mediocre orchestra has been developed into one of the finest with our help. The Glee Club also is being ably supported by the Freshman singers. In athletics we have surpassed many of the past classes. The football team put up some good battles and we pulled the unexpected by defeating the Brown Frosh and the mighty Soph team. We turned in a perfect basketball season, going undefeated and being the first R. I. Frosh team to beat the Aggie Frosh in five years. Our greatest disappointment was in not being able to meet the Sophs. The faculty and the upper classmen have all helped to make this a very busy yet enjoyable year ; we look forward to our Sophomore year with the hope that it will equal this year in activity and enjoyment.

He had on hand six lettermen but was faced with the task of developing a pitching staff. However, once the season got under way Fred Ackroyd and Alec Hurwitz soon put him at ease. Alec frequently took over the pitching burden and left first base to be taken care of by “Jigger Lazareck. Bill Trumbull and Paul Winsor formed a steady and dependable keystone combination, while Matty Kearns filled in well at third after “Ted” Pykozs went to the hospital with a sprained ankle. Charlie Flaherty and Mike Lettieri, playing their first season of varsity ball covered center and left while Szulick and Ernst shared the burden of right field. The season as a whole was a success though several games were lost due to inexperience. The team won eight of the fourteen games played. The Schedule R. I. Opp. R.I.

Summary of 1929 Season Destroyer Force Arnold College U. of Maine Brown University Bates College Lowell Textile U. S. C. G. Academy. Worcester Polytech Connecticut Aggies jpssf THf9g0t ST ' Football Rhode Island faced the Destroyer Force on Sept. 14th, with her players in the best of physical condition. The first team was com- prised of seven veterans and four Sopho- mores. The outlook for the season was very promising. Rhody won its first game by a score of 18-6. Much of the play was ragged and for the next week Coach Keaney drilled his men on the fine points of the game. The next Saturday the team showed the results of a hard week’s practice by trouncing Arnold College 19-0. On Sept. 28th, a hard fighting Rhode Island team went down to defeat before a much heavier Maine aggregation. In spite of their advantage, the best the Pine-tree Staters could do was to score one touchdown, the score being 7-0. Rhode Island led Brown up to the third quarter for the first time in football history. This team gave Brown the stiffest opposition ever offered by a State eleven. Time and again Coach Keaney’s new plays netted long gains for little Rhody. The overwhelming reserve strength of the opponents scored for them two touchdowns in the final quarter, the score being 14-6. After a two week’s lay-off, the team trav- Capt. Lasareck, Capt. Howes eled to Lewiston to play Bates. Probably due to the two week’s inactivity, and the long trip, Rhody played one of the weirdest games of its history. Long gains were netted almost at will, only to lose the ball within the shadow of the opponent ' s goal. With but a few seconds to play, Ken Goff received a punt and ran through the entire Bates defense for a touchdown, making the score 6-6. At this time Rhode Island experienced a series of decisive victories, defeating Lowell Textile 26-6, Coast Guard Academy 26-0, and Worcester Tech 39-0. A smooth working backfield, and an impregnable line were characteristic of the team in each of these contests. With an enviable record behind it, the team drew a record crowd on Home Coming Day, to witness the game with its ancient rival, Connecticut. Connecticut, with an equally good record, could do little to stop the powerful running attack of the battering Rams. When the final whistle blew and the game was over, Rhody had amassed 19 points to Connecticut’s 6. The irresistible drive of Howes, Kearns, Goff, Cieurzo, and Flaherty, coupled with the defensive power of Lazarek, Cragan, McCue, and Gill, will long be remembered by the followers of Rhode Island sports.

Opp. 36 31 38 36 38 34 31 40 28 53 31 21 28 43 Basketball With the opening of the basketball season, our prospects for a successful year were not very bright, due to the fact that five of the six .letter men were lost by graduation. After defeating New Bedford Textile by a score of 74-32, the team suffered an additional blow by the loss of Captain Ackroyd who was forced out of the game for the entire season due to a serious knee injury. Coming back from the Christmas recess, Rhody met with fair success ’til mid-years, defeating Northeastern, Arnold, and U. S. C. G. Academy, and dropping one game to Worcester Tech. On Feb. 7th, Rhode Island met its first defeat in the new gym at the hands of a strong Brooklyn Polytech team, the score being 36-30. Following this, the team hung a series of defeats on five of its strongest rivals, Boston University, Clark University, Connecticut Aggies, Brown University and Northeastern being the victims. Traveling to Hartford and Storrs, the following week, Rhody met with defeat on both occasions. On March 6th, St. Michaels, State champions of Vermont, were overcome by the flashy attack of Rhody ’s basketeers. Two days later the final game of the season was played against Brown, at Providence. Poor playing by both teams featured throughout. In the second half, Brown rolled up a lead which the Kingstonians were unable to overcome. The game ended with the score Brown 43, R. I. 28. Much credit is due Coach Keaney, who moulded a successful team out of mediocre material. The steady playing of Kearns and Tyler was noticeable throughout. Osterlund, Turla, Goff, Wlnsor, Collison, and Wiggenhauser, all contributed to the success of the season. Prospects for next year are bright, due to the strong Freshman aggregation, which has gone through the season without defeat. Ninety-nine Track Rhody’s track team for 1929 was somewhat inferior to the team of 1928, yet there was much that is worthy of praise in the season as a whole. The season was opened on April 27th, with a triangular meet in Providence between Rhode Island, Brown University and Wesleyan. Brown, with the strongest team in recent years, piled up 65 points, as against 50 for Wesleyan and 20 points for Rhode Island. Rhody’s best showing was made in the hammer throw event, when Long, Murgo and Bumpus took all three places. Capt. George Cook tied for first place in the pole vault and Paul Cieurzo missed a first place in the shot put by one-fourth of an inch. Russell in the high jump, Collier in the hurdles, and Troy in the sprints were the outstanding men on the Brown team. On May fourth, Rhode Island nosed out her old rival, Connecticut, by a score of 69 5 6 to 65 1 6. The Connecticut team was led by Chubbuck who accounted for 17 points in a total of five events. The stars for Rhody on that day were Capt. Cook in the pole vault, Chet. Lynn in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, Murgo in the hammer throw, and Bradshaw and Anderson in the high jump and broad respectively. Rhode Island took fifth place on May 11th, at the Eastern Intercollegiates at Worcester. Joe Murgo was the only first place winner from Kingston, although Cieurzo and Cook made fine showings in the shot put and pole vault respectively. One week later Capt. George Cook, Joe Murgo, and Paul Cieurzo represented the Blue and White at the N. E. I. C. A. A. championship meet, but failed to score. A Freshman medley relay team composed of Deluty, Gleason, Ward, and Roy was Rhode Island’s first representative ever to appear in this event. Another note of interest at the “New Englands - ’ was the new record made by Black of Maine in the hammer throw. This new record took the place of the previous one which was set by Coach Fred Tootell when he was at Bowdoin College. With the experience gained by participation in several indoor meets in Boston during the past winter, Rhody should be represented by a fairly well-balanced outdoor track team in the coming season. Several stars of last year ' s Frosh team which proved to be a winning combination should also aid in making the 1930 season a success. Meets have been scheduled with Amherst, Brown and Connecticut, in addition to the Eastern and New England Championship competitions. Summary of Track Season April 20 — Varsity defeated Frosh 103 2 3 - 61 1 3. April 27 — Rhode Island 20; Wesleyan 50; Brown 65. May 4 — Rhode Island 69 5 6; Connecticut 651 6.

Coach Tootell One Hundred Cross Country Cross-country teams are always strong at Rhode Island, such that they can not be described as either good or bad, but only as to the degree of goodness. With only two letter men reporting for the 1929 campaign, Coach Fred Tootell developed a team which won three out of four dual meets and placed sixth at the N. E. I. C. A. A. cross-country run at Franklin Park, Boston. Brown University was easily defeated over the Kingston course for the tenth successive year. Two weeks later the team went up to Boston and with Capt. Jerry Bean, Roy Hersey and Herman Miner finishing, arm-in-arm, in first place, ran away with that meet. The competition was considerably stronger in the meet with Worces- ter Tech at Worcester, however, and Rhody was defeated. Capt. Bean took fourth place and was the first Rhode Island man to finish the “long grind.” Connecticut was met for the first time in a dual cross-country meet at Kingston and Rhody cele- brated with another easy victory. The competition at the New England Champion- ship event was decidedly superior to anything that Rhode Island could offer, yet the men made a good showing by winning sixth place with all colleges represented. The meet was won by a finely balanced team from Bates, although Lindsay and Richard- son of the University of Maine took the individual honors. The results of the dual meets follow : Rhode Island 22; Brown University 34 Rhode Island 20; Boston University 35 Rhode Island 29; Worcester Tech 19 Rhode Island 25 ; Connecticut 30 The order of finish of the Rhode Island men at the N. E. I. C. A. A. meet was Bean (18), Miner (27), Hersey (29), Ward (41), Pratt (53), Armstrong (56), and Hathaway (67). Capt. Jerry Bean, Roy Hersey, and Jimmie Armstrong will graduate ths year, leaving Miner, Ward, Pratt, Goodwin, Hathaway, and Osterlund to carry on the good work next fall. The Frosh team of 1929 made a good showing against both Brown and Conn. Aggies and should be strong contenders for the Varsity team. One Hundred One ST Co edl Athletics Co-ed athletics for the most part are confined to intra-mural sports. Class teams are organized in hockey, basketball, and baseball and many exciting contests result. In the fall the girls enjoy field hockey and many are the bruised shins that result from this exciting and strenuous game. Since the advent of the new Gym the girls have had Lippitt Hall at their dis- posal throughout the winter. A real interesting Class Basketball League was formed with the Juniors winning over the Freshmen in the playoff by the close score of 24 to 21. Grace Brightman and Genevieve Fogarty were the mainstays of the victors. The Connecticut Aggies Girls’ team was again met this year, the contests result- ing in a victory for our girls at Kingston and a tie at Storrs. The game at Kingston was slow but close, marred most of the way by the constant blowing of the ref- eree’s whistle. The Rhode Island girls emerged victorious with a 20-17 score mainly due to the fine shooting of Capt. Kitty MacKay. At Connecticut the game resulted in a 19-19 tie and was exciting from start to finish. Miss Genevieve Fogarty tied the game in the last few minutes of play with a basket. It is now that the co-ed attention turns to class baseball, archery and the pro- motion of a May-day pageant. Frequently Mrs. Keaney sends the girls, on nice days, hiking through the field and woods about Kingston. One Hundred Two John C.

Champlin Believing that military service is an obligation of citizenship, and that the greater opportunities afforded college men for the study of military science place upon them certain responsibilities, the Cadet Officers in various Universities and Colleges con- ferring baccalaureate degrees, formed the National Society of Scabbard and Blade, in order to unite in closer relationship the military departments of American Uni- versities and Colleges ; to preserve and develop the essential qualities of good and efficient officers ; to prepare themselves as educated men to take a more active part and to have a greater influence in the military affairs of the communities in which they may reside, and above all to spread intelligent information concerning the mili- tary requirements of our country. The cadet elected to Scabbard and Blade must be “an officer and a gentleman.” He must possess the qualities of fidelity, ability, patriotism, respect for authority, courage, good-fellowship, honor — all of which lead to success in any line of work, military or civil.

Our unit in the scheme of national preparedness can be mighty proud of its record in the last decade. The College has attained distinguished college three times ; perhaps we would have increased the number, but the War Department abolished the rank of distinguished college and the annual inspection by Federal Inspectors, but the annual inspections are maintained by the Corps Area Officers. In 1925, 1926, and 1927, the unit received distinguished rank, and in 1928 and 1929, under the new system, the college has been highly commended for its efficient and well organized outfit. For the past three years the unit has paraded in Providence on Armistice Day, and each year has received considerable praise and comment about its appearance. Much of this praise is due to the conscientious work of the student officers, but the greatest credit is due to the untiring efforts of the regular Army Commandants. Some of the new ideas instituted in the last few years that have improved the looks of the Battalion, are those shiny brass buttons, garrison belts, and the new white trappings for the band. The band this year seems even better than that of last year, and the unit bids fair to be better than any of its predecessors. It is to be expected that the Battalion will maintain its high standard under our new Commandant, Captain Thomas Freeman, who is a soldier of the old school. The College should be proud of its unit, the officers, and their Commandant. One Hundred Fifty-one THIMIST Third Row: c.
