12 T E C H R E V I E W BERTHA MAY BARTON Eis seldom that you sir Bertha without a smile wreath- ing her countenance, and she always has a funny story to tell «f some happening in class. Bertha has not taken a very active part in class affairs, yet she is always a good “sport'' when anything is in progress. Millinery, begun in 'lech, will Bertha study and practice after she leaves us. Here Bertha, are our heartiest good wishes, and may you set the stiles for headgear! RAYMOND SENE IT RE BEXARD Ray is a charter member of the vocational class. His witty remarks cause many a ripple of laughter. Sam Colwell and he are boon friends and are usually found together. When Ray is serious, he shows much intelli- gence in class work. He has earned a good reputation at the Rhode Island Tool Company, where he is serving his apprenticeship, lie expects to enter Pennsylvania State College next fall. ALICE EMMA BERNIER Alice is one of the “Heavenly Twins;” Regina is the other. Alice was our class treasurer during our Senior year, and the treasury was never so full as then. Studies never troubled Alice much; in fact, it was not until the last half of our senior year that study periods were ap- preciated by her. During the previous year Alice might be seen at such periods quite absorbed in a new novel. After leaving us in January. Alice went to a Parochial School in New Bedford, where she is to study French and Music, and to teach English. We may be sure that Mademoiselle Bernier, the teacher, will be much adored by her pupils, and Alice, the student, cannot fail to bring enjoyment to her fellow students if she but entertains them with an account of her life at Technical. SIDNEY BRIGGS BLAISDELL That tall, good-hearted fellow with eye glasses is “Sid. A staunch member of the class, he has plugged consist- ently thruout the entire course. His reports show that “Sid does fine work in the machine shop ami even where else. He likes sports and has worked faithfully in both cross country and track tryouts. And S. B. comes in for his share of the fun. too. If there is any unusual com- motion in the photographic laboratory, “Sid is there. His corridor companion is Herb, and they are continual- ly seen together. Sidney enters M. I. T. in September.

TECH REVIEW 11 ESTHER LOUISE ANDERSON Esther has been with us for four happy years. She is a jolly, good-natured girl, always ready for a joke and a laugh. Altho, apparently, she spends little time in study, her reports always show good marks. That she has business ability, was proved by her good work as assist- ant treasurer of our class in its second year. Her plans for the future are undetermined, but we wish her luck in whatever she decides to do. HAROLD KNUT ANDERSON Harold, a member of the vocational class, is always ready with a reasonable answer to every reasonable question. He shines in the drawing room and is employed by the Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. in their drafting depart- ment. but all his studies receive proper attention. He is a member of the Social Committee and is present at all the socials and dances. We do not know where he will continue his education after he leaves Lech. MILTON COL RELAND ARNOLD Arnold, alias “Shrimp,” has saved the class many a dreary moment by his wonderful ability to invent a practical joke while you wait. After one year of faithful work on the cross country team, he received a “T”, and a prouder wearer of the coveted letter can hardly be found. His strong point is chemistry where he concocts solutions and compounds that make the fifth floor look like a foggy morning in London. “Shrimp expects to go to Brown in the fall. IRENE HORTENSE BARQUES'!' Irene is that light complexioncd girl who always has a smile for everyone. She is a good scholar, but ready for a good time. When a merry laugh is heard, everyone knows that Irene is not far away. After leaving Tech, she expects to enter a business college. We know that her perseverance and good nature will make her a suc- cessful business woman.

T E C H R E V I E W 13 FLORENCE ELLERY BRAMAN Florence came to l ech after one and one-half years at Hope. She is little, jolly and energetic, and is well known in the school. She made an excellent witch in the scene from Macbeth which was given at our Hollowe’en Social. Her persistence in her studies has steadily won her good marks. After leaving Tech Florence has de- cided to elope—so she says. MARY RKOINA BRENNAN Regina has been with us during the four years and has served us well on the Social Committee. She can lx seen almost any morning with her twin Alice, as she enters the Pond Street door at one minute of nine, laden with various mysterious looking bags and boxes, and occasion- ally carrying a school book. Regina is a jolly girl and is the means of bringing much fun into the class, fun which sometimes gets her into trouble. When asked what she intends to do in the future, she replies. “I’m going to let the future take care of itself.’’ RAYMOND ELMER BRITTON Britton firmly believes that little children should be seen and not heard. Sometimes he carries it to the extreme of raking a nap in class. Me excels in machine work, and in this department he is deemed an authority. After leaving Tech he will probably become an expert mechanic. DAVID B ROM SON D. B. entered Tech from Doyle in 1011. He has worked hard and succeeded in completing the course in three and one-half years. He ranks well in all his studies; his favorites are German and trigonometry. He is the twin brother of Norman. They look as much alike as two peas in a pod. and many are the laughs that we have when the teachers get them mixed up. It is a rare thing to see either alone. David, with his twin Norman, goes to every game to cheer for the Red and Gray. He in tends to enter Brown in the fall.
