CLASS OF 1940 GENERAL Let me introduce the students in the mad mill men class. RAYMOND BABBITT ( Cowboy ) : This strong silent he-man seems to have missed his calling. He spends most of his time at the Truesdale Hospital in Fall River, with the sweetest, little nurse in training, so we are told. Perhaps he should have been a doctor. LEON BOIKO ( Bowkow ) : Bow ' kow spends more of his time out of school than in school, usually on Exam- ination Days, but we must give him credit, for while he is in school he knows as much as the instructors — ask him sometime. The class is trying to collect enough money to send Leon back to Russia. ARTHUR COE (Art) : Art is the father of the class, and he is very popular. He is the top trumpet player and musician of the class. Art is still true to his native Fairhaven. GEORGE CURRY (Curry) : Curry is one man, at least, who does not believe that variety is the spice of life . He has been going around with the same girl practically all his life. It seems that Poloquin and Tripp have been trying to get Curry out just one night an give him a little variety, but George won ' t be led from the straight and narrow path. RICHARD DALESSANDRO (Dick) : Dick is the gentleman of the class. He loves to work, for when he finds a moment of leisure, he does more work. Dick thinks that Poloquin can find more ways to make mistakes than anyone in the class. RAYMOND GOBEIL ( Gobble ): If anyone wants to hire a first class stooge, Gobble is the man guaranteed to give results. If it were not for him the class would be forced to hire a jester to keep things alive. WILLIAM POISSON ( Hank ): Hank, an authority in the class on swing bands, is a very hard worker, but manages to squeeze in a few moments to fight with Ray Gobeil or Johnnie Walsh. He had a little accident awhile back, but when he found he couldn ' t collect insur- ance, he quickly recovered. RUDOLPH POLOQUIN ( Rudy ): Rudy better known as Cassanova is God ' s Gift to Women. Some one has to keep the fair sex happy. LESLIE TRIPP ( Trippie ) : Here is the original man about town . He is like a page from Esquire. Our spies tell us that Trippie has practically paid off the mortgage on the Bridge Diner. JOHN WALSH ( Walshy ) : Walshy is the original white collar worker of the class. He hates to get his hands dirty, but thanks to Prof. Richard- son, he has not been able to stay spotless. He is also quite an authority on swing, but Hank Poisson doesn ' t think so. They get along like cat and dog. Hi w ' •5 11 ttl -M V - y Second Row — R. Babbitt, J. Walsh, L. Boiko, R. Dallessandro, G. Curry. Front Row — L. Tripp. R. Poliquin, A. Coe, N. Gobeil, W. Poisson.

CHEMISTRY This column is to acquaint the readers with the members of the Second Year Chemistry Class. CARL CARLIN, one fellow who appre- ciates beautiful music. His favorite or- chestra is Willie Bryant, draw your own conclusion. JOHN GILMAN, another chemist musi- cally inclined, he plays the jug beautifully. PAUL RILEY, a true chemist who has great inventive ability. Plays soccer and basketball well also. MILTON KRAMER— can little smiling Miltie help it if he is the toughest guy in the class? Neither can anyone else. THEODORE ZIEMBA— better known as Teddy , bound to become a great man in a Chemical Industry. EDWARD MULLALY— better known as Ted , due to succeed; perhaps some day he will be known as the Great Surgeon. EDWARD SIMPSON— destined to be a Good Textile Chemi st and a member of the next Olympic Rifle Team. EARL WILSON— perhaps Earl will some day own the newspaper for which he is now working. FELIX BUBA, will be a great orchestra leader with a hobby, which is probably chemistry. WILLIAM MARCEAU — known as Bill , and if anyone has any ideas of World Affairs, Bill will try to bring them over to his side. JOSEPH LEAL — Joe to anyone in school. Breaks all speed records with his car. Joe and John Gilman are inseparable pals, try to separate them. FRANCIS McQUILLAN— a good-heart- ed romeo. Frank ' s side line, besides his chemistry, is managing an up-and-coming dance band. 26 Fabricator, 1939

CLASS OF 1940 Third Row — L. Charroux, J. Brown, A. Szala, J. Ramsbottom. Second Row — A. Setera, J. Ferdinand, F. Mitchell, V. Smith, M. Frazier, N. Walker. Front Row — W. Sawyer, T. Blecharczyk, G. Silsbee, W. Delano, N. Harpin, C. Bradshaw. MECHANICAL NICHOLUS ANTONOULIS Nicky Though quiet in his manner Nicky depends upon his keen powers of observance. CARLTON W. BRADSHAW Toots ' Toots does his work easily and efficiently, but he does a good job which seldom lacks in quality. JOSEPH R. BROWN, Jr. Joe Joe, a good natured fellow, is the victim of so many jokes and tricks, he hardly knows when something is not being perpetrated against him. TEDDY BLECHARCZYK Ted Teddy is a fine student, workman and a member of the basketball team. LAWRENCE CHARRAUX Dopey His dislike for studies and his blunt at- tempts to free himself from their bonds has left him many embarrassing circumstances. WILBUR W. DELANO Del Del was formerly a football star at Dartmouth High School, but he has varied his talent, and is now a big asset to the Tech debating team. MALCOM FRAISER Mac Mac has a very characteristic fiery temper whether in class or on the basketball floor. JOHN FERDINAND, Jr. Red Red never takes his studies too seriously but can generally find some way of having them done nearly on time. NORMAN HARPIN Hairpin Harpin, from the air corps in Hawaii, is very frank in his convictions and will back them up with fiery arguments. FRED MITCHELL Freddy Another of those who believe that studies are all right in school where he can give a good account of himself. JOHN RAMSBOTTOM Ramsay This happy-go-lucky fellow always has a good line to fit the occasion. WILLIAM SAWYER Bill Big Bill is the star on the mythical unde- feated football team. ADOLPH SETERA Perhaps it is because he is so small that he can afford to attend all the sporting events in greater New Bedford. VICTOR SMITH Vic He is a good student who does his work very well by applying himself. GEORGE SILSBY Manny This tall lanky fellow, formerly of the Chemistry course, is endowed with a unique sense of humor all for himself. ALFRED SZALA Al Though he finds it hard to return to his studies, after working since his graduation, he is making a sincere attempt to succeed. NORRIS WALKER Norrie Though Norris is the youngest and small- est in his class, he seems to keep up with the others very well. 28 Fabricator, 1939
