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.

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.

14 T E C H R E V I E W NORMANBROMSON N. B. entered Tech from Doyle in 1911. 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 French and Declamation. He is the twin brother of David. 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. Norman, with his twin David, goes to every game to cheer for the Red and Gray. Me intends to enter Brown in the Fall. EDITH BERNICE BURCH Edie. for short, earnest and painstaking, joined us in our second year. She can appreciate a joke, and she can crack one, too. But her studies, of which German is a favorite, do not suffer from the fun. Edith expects to enter some business college in the fall. She has the qual- ities required for a successful business woman. KENNETH LIVINGSTON BUR DON Kenneth, or “Burdie” as he likes to be called, is one of the more earnest fellows of the class. Studying comes nat- ural to him and there has never been a subject in which he has not been among the leaders. He has been with us for four years, always ready to laugh at a good joke, but never boisterous. Ever since the class was organized he has been prominent in social and class affairs and has served as chairman of the Social Committee for two years. “Burdie” will matriculate at Brown in September, but has not yet determined upon his life work. May success ever attend him! DOROTHY LOUISE BURNHAM “Dot” is a quiet little girl, oh so quiet, yet she always has a smile for everyone. She came to us from Hope Street High at the end of her sophomore year. All studies look alike to “Dot”; good work in all with no favorite is “Dot’s” way. Monday mornings find her, without fail, in the assembly hall, for she loves music and hopes to study it after her days at Tech are over. And “Dot’s” sweet clear voice is well worthy of culti- vation. Sing us a song now and then, Dorothy, like the Lady in Comus, to let us know of your whereabouts.
