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.”

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.

28 TECH R E V I KYV CHESTER HARRISON MEDBERY Chet Medbery and Hargraves are friends, tried and true. Both arc wireless enthusiasts and it is not un- usual to overhear them in the locker-room chatting about high-tension close core transformers, non-induc- tive potentiometers and the like. Medbery is of ath- letic renown as well and has starred in the running, broad, and high jumps, and has earned several T’s. He is undecided as to whether he will go to college or not. ARTHUR HENRY MEYER Dutch has been with us the whole four years, and has faithfully performed the tasks allotted to him. The girls of the class have had no interest for this small piece of humanity, and he has kept on his way undis- turbed by them. The fellows all know Dutch.” and he is popular with his own “bunch.” We don’t know just what occupation will claim Meyer upon his grad- uation. but he carries with him our best wishes of suc- cess. ELIZABETH MIDDLE EON Mabel ganized in our sophomore ear. Her witty remarks, given in an undertone, have caused her to be called flippant.” but her records, because of the absence of 7- F’s and the abundance of C’s and H’s. proves her to • be far otherwise. During her senior year Mabel has ? decided in favor of a college course, and now expects to go to Pembroke in September, where C’s and H's will turn into B's and A’s. THOMAS EDWARD MUDDIMAN T. E.” is a factor in the scientific management sys- tem in use at the N. E. Butt Company. His knowl- edge of motion study, a part of this system, enables him to eliminate many unnecessary movements in his daily life. He stands the highest in his class,—being six feet one inch in his stocking feet. Although he shows great interest in the moving picture industry, he expects to pursue the course in civil engineering at the State College, and, judging from his record at Tech, he will be successful.
