26 T E C H R E V I E W EDITH BECK FOR I) KINGMAN Edith s picture (Edith is known to her friends as Becky) utterly fails to show her mischief-loving spirit, tor she is the fun leader of our class. Despite this, she is a conscientious student, always ranks well in her studies, and is well liked by both students and teachers. Becky’s inability to say what she means is proverbial. As her talent seems to lie in Domestic Science, Edith hopes to take up this subject as a profession after com- pleting the course at Wheaton Seminary. We know that she would make an excellent teacher, efficient in her work and beloved by her pupils. EARLE STUART LADD Laddie discovered his mistake, left Classical and came to Tech in his freshman year. His strong personality and high spirit have won him a host of friends among his classmates and teachers. Laddie won his “T” as manager of the championship football team of 1912. Socially he has always been the foremost fellow in the class. In our junior year he was class treasurer and in both junior and senior years class president. The class, having discovered Laddie’s ability, elected him as a member of the 'Eecii Review Board and the Board elected him business manager of the Review. He helped to organize the Rifle Club and served as its first treasurer. He will enter the University of Michigan. LORETTA MARY LANCTO lx retta started in at Classical, but after spending two years there, she decided to come to Tech. She formed such an intimate friendship with our twins, Alice and Regina, that we feared the rcsidt might be triplets. D rctta is fond of socials and parties, and is always on hand at our class meetings. She was a member of our Social Committee in our junior year, and served as class secretary in our senior year. Loretta is not as enthu- siastic over her studies as you might infer from her re- port, on which are few marks less than “honor. We , cannot help feeling that she ought to add to her laurels in some higher institution of learning. DANIEL WEBSTER LATHAM Dan comes from Smithfield. For two years he at- tended English High. Then the value of the Techni- cal work of the school made its appeal to him and across the street he came. He especially delights in the problems of the machine shop. Of the academic studies he ranks highest in Mathematics. After grad- uation he win devote his time to agriculture on his father’s broad acres.

TE CH REVIEW 25 HARRY KARL JOHNSON Harry is the giant of the vocational class and enjoys this distinction very much. He works very faithfully at The General Fire Extinguisher Company every other week, where he is learning the pattern maker’s trade. Harry is also a faithful worker at school and is always ready for any kind of fun,—when his lessons are done. He expects to go to Brown. HAROLD HOBSON KELLY “H. H.” took his departure as well as his diploma in February, after four years of our company. Tho no athletic records have been made, a most excellent record of class work stands to his credit. In the third year of Ins course the Debating Society was honored by his membership. “H. H.” was also vice-president of the class during the first part of his senior year. Altho Harold’s photograph may appear dignified, yet he is one of the jolliest fellows of the class and has been present at all its social functions. Rhode Island State College will receive a good fellow when it admits Harold in September. EDWARD ROSCOE KENT Kent has maintained his quiet bearing throughout his four years with us. But Kent's quietness is not that of indifference; on the contrary, he has the rare quality of persistence that has carried him successfully over many an obstacle which has caused others to fail. His plans for the future are not complete, but he carries our best wishes with him as he leaves Technical. ELINOR MONICA KIELY Being a staunch upholder of athletic rights and privi- leges for girls, Elinor is prominent in the girls' basket- ball team, where she plays forward, and plays it well. She left North Adams to join our class during our sec- ond year and has become well known and well liked in the school. Who can help liking such a merry, witty girl as Elinor? It is well she is a bright student, for her program has been complicated, resembling a Chinese puzzle. When she has received her diploma from Tech business college will claim her attention.

TECH REVIEW 27 HOWARD ALEXANDER MACRAE Wc all know “Mac.” He is very active socially, never missing a social, and seldom a class meeting. He was a member of the football team for two years, president of his class in his junior year, leader of the orchestra in his senior year, manager of the 1914 track team, and a member of the Glee Club for four years. Howard is to spend the next four years of his life at Cornell Uni- versity, studying horticulture. He then intends to go into business with his father. CHESTER WILLIAM MALENFANT Chet is a quiet chap, seldom speaking unless spoken to. but once in a while he utters a few pertinent words in class that immediately cause a roar of laughter, (iirls do not seem to interest Malenfant very much, but the fellows all know and like him. He hasn’t told us what he’s going to do after leaving school, but we suspect that September will find him enrolled at Kingston or at Brown. VALENTINE HENRY MARIANI “Mariooche minds his own business, and minds it well. During his four years’ course at Tech he has faithfully performed every task allotted him, and has made him- self popular with the fellows, if not with the girls. Mariani can raise “some” roughhouse, too, when he once gets started, and his laugh is a familiar sound to us all. If you’re searching for unknown and evil-look- ing precipitates, here’s your man. Valli says he’s go- ing to be an engineer (mechanical, not locomotive), and wc wish him all kinds of luck at Kingston, where he will matriculate. HOWARD AUGUSTUS MATHEWSON There is no steadier fellow in the class than Howard. His record for punctuality and attendance would be hard to beat. He has not been one of those “many worthy fellows that were out” for athletic honors, but has been content to take his exercise on his motorcycle. How he does scorch! He has been a good comrade for all these years. “We love him highly and shall continue our graces towards him.”
