THE FABRICATOR 19 2 8 HISTORY OF THE MECHANICAL SPECIAL CLASS LO! and Behold! See what the Mechanical Department drew from the Fresh- man Class of 1927! Peavey, Boutin and Ken Tripp! We entered the Machine Shop on the first day of school to become members of the Black Gang. Rodalowicz entered a few months later but he had already received the dope while attending night school the two previous terms. We saw ourselves first in the Machine Shop. With some satisfaction we looked ourselves over and began to enjoy each other. We seldom thought of our small numbers but when we did, we swelled visibly, for we were a fair looking bunch. Tripp and Peavey were stuck in with Gallagher and Quinn in Industrial Mathematics. They learned a great deal. The hours spent in Drawing were highly profitable under the guidance of Mr. Walton. However, we did think it was strange and a little hard that we should be expected to imitate Mr. Walton and draw as only good draftsmen should. We came back our last year, a much divided crowd. Peavey and Tripp spent most of their time in the drafting room while Boutin and Rodalowicz occupied their time in the shop. As a class we Specials have made little impression this year on the school because of our differing interests but as individuals some of us will long be remembered. Therefore it seems fitting that our history should be a history of individuals. BOUTIN: — is a product of South Middleboro. His strong point in his size and his muscle. Last summer he worked on the railroad (pick and shovel) , thereby earning enough money to purchase an Overland Car — Pride of South Middleboro — To New Bedford and back once a day or to H — with ya! RODALOWICZ: — if he was over in Poland he would be a big chief. He is a hard working, ever progressive lad. His only fault is he likes to talk or rather put in the last word. Some day he is going to offer pills of sunshine for the sick but we would rather have him offer pills of moonshine. KEN TRIPP : — The human skull says Ken consists of thirty-two bones — but — some skulls are all bone. Tripp is the Boy Wonder of the Mechanical Department and we know that he will succeed. PEAVEY: — As a Y. M. C. A. track man, Bob claims that Chicago ' s most popular sport is putting the shot. Some morning he is going to forget himself and begin to work. - 4 28 )§h-

THE FABRICATOR 19 2 8 ARTHUR A. ADELSOHN ' Adie ' New Bedford High School Joke Editor of The Fabricator Chemistry A DIE ' is a very good student, quiet worker and is always willing to help a fellow student should he be called on. ' Adie ' came down to ' Tech ' after com- pleting his course at New Bedford High School and promptly made himself known to the friends and enemies of the school by his vociferous cheering at basketball games. His wise cracks do much towards livening up any dead moments that may occur in the Lab and we can always be sure of his Haw! Haw! Haw! when the jingle of a broken beaker rings out. We do not just know what ' Adie ' intends to do on leaving school but we are sure that whatever it is, it will be met with success for one who tries often and hard never fails to succeed. Good luck, Adie . -■ { 30 } ■■
