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.

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.

30 T E CM R E V I E W ATTILIO RALPH PASCUCCl Attilio is another four-year standby. With his pleas- ant. smiling face, he goes from one class to another, greeting friends here and there on the way. In class work, “Pass” is right up to the mark, since his studies never fail to receive proper attention. Attilio expects to become a business man. He has done well in school; he will do well in business. HERBERT GUSTAVE PEARSON Herbert is a vocationalite. He has been a student at Tech for four years. His stumbling block is draw- ing. but he will remove it from his path in time. When he graduates in June, he intends to enter Massachu- setts Institute of Technology. BENJAMIN PLINER “Bennie” is one of the little fellows of the vocational division. He is a good-natured chap and always ready to take a joke. He started his apprenticeship at the E. C. Bliss Manufacturing Company, but owing to its bankruptcy he is now working at the R. I. 'Pool Com- pany. “Bennie” seldom comes to school without hav- ing his lessons done and always manages to get by. Altho he has a good knowledge of his trade, Ik will not follow it. but intends to go to Kingston, where he will take the engineering course. SAMUEL PRESEL Sammy is a well-known figure to the senior class, and all who know him find him an excellent fellow and an agreeable companion. Sam is a little bit of an ath- lete, for he played on the sophomore baseball team. He is also “some” tenor, but he could not be persuaded to join the Glee Club until this year, and he at once be- came the “class” of the club. This Titian-haired youth intends to enter Brown in the fall, where he no doubt will make the campus resound with his mellow voice.
