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.

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.”

TEC H RE VI EW 29 WALTER JOSEPH MURPHY There is no doubt in our minds but that if Walter ar- rived earlier in school and stayed later we might have the pleasure of becoming better acquainted with him. However, be is a staunch supporter of the class, and although he has never attended the class meetings, his dues are a silent acknowledgment of his loyalty. He is a good student and his teachers appreciate this fact. Some college will receive in him a splendid student and a good fellow. EUGENE THOMAS O'NEILL Gene entered Tech three years ago. His apprentice- ship has been spent at the Builders’ Iron Foundry, where he solved the problems of lathe and planer. His work, both in shop and in school, is of a high grade. In the absence of our learned faculty, O'Neill, with the assistance of Muddiman, gives demonstrations of the latest steps in dancing. He will continue to work at the foundry for some time after graduation; his plans for the future go no further at present. RAYMOND HENRY PARKER Raymond, or “Fat, entered four years ago from Can dace Street Grammar School. He has no special diffi culty with his studies, and with his never-failing good nature is a sure cure for the blues. Raymond is trying hard for an appointment at West Point, which we all hope he will get. If he fails to get the appointment, he will enter Brown in the fall. FRANCIS ROBERTS PARSONS Bob. or the “Duke,” made his debut at Classical four years ago. Thence he came to Tech and has labored industriously for the last half year preparing for col- lege. A courteous manner and a quiet bearing (yes. it's quiet, notwithstanding those ties), are characteristic of the “Duke.” Bob stands well in his studies and will find no difficulty in entering Brown in the fall. After a year at the university he will go to M. I. T.
