T Thomasy—Mulholland St Michael’s Church was the scene of an attractive wedding Monday morning at 9 o’clock at which time Miss Agnes Mulholland. daughter of Mrs. Annie L. Mulholland of Jillson street, this city, became the bride of Mr. Clarence Edward Thomasy of Springfield, Mass. Rev. Robert Cas- sidy officiated. The bride wore a gown of white satin and carried a bridal bouquet of gardenias and lilies of the valley. Her veil was arranged in cap style and caught on either side with two gardenias. Miss Anne Mulholland. a siste of the bride, was maid of honor. Her frock was of pink mous- seline de soie and she wore a blue horsehair hat and carried a bouquet df Sweetheart roses and blue delphi- nium. Mr. John Mulholland, brother of the bride, was best man. A wedding breakfast, which was attended by members of the family and immediate relatives, was served at the home of the bride’s mother. Mr. and Mrs. Thomasy, who are on a motor trip through Maine, New Hampshire and Canada, will make their home at 116 Long Hill street, Springfield. Tike Two Temples 'The builder budded a temple. He wrought with grace and skill— Pillars, and groins, and arches. All fashioned to work his will. Men said, as theg saw its beauty. 'It shall never know decay; Great is thy skill. O builder! Thy frame shall endure for aye!” A teacher budded a temple. With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer: None praised his unceasing efforts— None knew of his wondrous plan. For the temple the teacher budded Was unseen by the eyes of man. “Gone is the builder's temple— Crumbled into the dust! Low lies each stately pillar Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher budded Will last, while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Is a youth's immortal soul.” NICHOLAS WILLIAM A B BEX ANTE “Mickey” There he goes, On his toes, Playing tricks that no one knows. That describes to a “T” our own joyful Mickey. He is identified with the “Silent Sextet”—foremost among them “Dohby.” These two have been fast friends during their four years at Tech. The opposite sex think he’s a perfect dear, but he does not reciprocate. Mickey is undecided as to the future, but with his fine knowledge of mathematics and history we are sure he will find his place in some profession. GRAYDON LEON ABBOTT Graydon L. Abbott, that curly headed chap from the “Old Vocational Course,” more commonly known as “Skipper can usually be found arguing with his pal, Charland, on any subject pertaining to mathematics. As his name implies, “Skipper” is fond of the water. He has taken a trip to Texas on an oil tanker and been pilot of a potato boat on Long Island Sound. Who knows but some day we shall hear of Graydon Leon Abbott as Master of the S. S. Leviathan! “Skipper” intends to go to a School of Navigation. GEORGE AJOOTIAN George “The Silent.” Perhaps his silence can be accounted for by the fact that, “An empty box makes the most noise.” His record at Tech has been one of dependability, effort, and accomplishment. George “did not choose” to comment on his like (?) and dislike of studies; however, his load of books has been quite bulky. His sound arguments have frequently been heard at our debates and those who have debated with him appreciate the dignity with which he treats his opponents. As for athletics, he claims to have won a race once, but we all know that he was the only runner in the race. After leaving Tech, George intends to prepare for a Law School.

DEDICATION He, the June, 1928 graduates of Technical High School, dedicate this issue of the Tech Review to Mr. Edward Coggeshall Brown, to ex- press our gratef ul appreciation of all that he has done for us. lie is a teacher whom we shall remember as being patient and sympathetic with ■us, always ready to help us through our difficul- ties, and to enter whole-heartedly into our good times. Mr. Brown is a Harvard graduate and has been on the faculty of Technical High since 1915. He is head of the Science Department and is instructor in chemistry and physics. As Chief Executive of the Tech Review since 1922, his efforts have been tireless in stimulating the activity necessary for its compilation and the support essential to its financial success. M. A. II. 2 V 8L 3K 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 5 JOSEPH CARMINE ALTIERI There he goes my old “pal Joe.” Little Joe, the small boy with the big voice, came to us four years ago from Laurel Hill Ave. Grammar School. Each morn- ing at 8:28. you can see him with his friend Archie, leaving his famous “Westcott” in some parking space, and then hurrying up the stairs to 3-7. Although Joe has not taken any active part in athletics, he has sup- ported them financially and also all our class socials. As to his favorite subjects, mathematics tops the list. After completing his high school career, he intends to spend one year at Kingston and then transfer to M. I. T. CARLO AM ELIO Carl came to us several years ago from Federal St. Grammar School. During his stay with us, he has gained friends by the dozen. Carl was obliged to leave Tech after finishing his sophomore year, but a few years later, he came hack and completed the course in one and one-half years. His share in athletics has been financial. Carl is a great lover of swimming and is an expert in this sport. As to his future, he is un- decided at present, hut we shall not he surprised to see him enrolled in some collegiate institution. JAMES ANTHONY ANDERSON This determined looking young man is “Jimmie.” He came to us from the George Clinton Calef School in 1924 and he has made an impression on all with whom he came in contact. “Jimmie” is a studious chap and although working after school has prevented him from taking active part in athletics, he has given freely to the support of them. He waxes eloquent over mathe- matics and lunch. He can usually he seen with “Duke.” “Jimmie” plans to enter the business world after grad- uation. and we shall probably hear of him later as a successful business man. GEORGE EARL ANDREWS, JR. Four years ago, after graduating from Peace Street Grammar School, George made the “lucky strike” of choosing Tech as his future temple of learning. Throughout his high school career, he has maintained a high grade in all his subejets and is now one of the sharks of our class on “math” and chemistry prob- lems. With the help of Mr. Aust, George has kept our stock room functioning for the past two years. George’s interest in electricity has prompted him to further his knowledge in a higher institution and accordingly we shall see him next fall climbing the hill to Bruin land. 6 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 JOHN KENNETH ANDREWS There goes John with a stack of books under his arm. John made a good choice and came to Tech from Asa Messer, a short four years ago. His favorite study is chemistry, with electricity holding second place. Dur- ing the past year John has worked in the Tech office aiding it to maintain its high degree of efficiency. Al- most invariably he travels with George Andrews. No, they are not related to each other. In the fall, R. I. State College will conduct John further along the path of knowledge. EDWARD FRANCIS BAGLEY Stand hack hoys here comes “Eddie” who can often he heard calling, “Hev, Duffy,” to his friend Flynn. Eddie’s hobby appears to he the girls, hut lie’s a regu- lar fellow and that’s what really counts. “Eddie” at- tends all of the student dances and socials and he is certainly some “stepper.” After 2:30 “Eddie” can he frequently heard lecturing his Pal “Spen” on the yeas and nays of their social engagements. Next fall “Eddie” will continue his investigation of hooks in some higher institution of learning. Freshman Soccer: Orchestra '24, '25, '26, '27, '28: Dramatic Club, ‘27.

NICHOLAS ANTHONY BAR BIER I “Nick” is the possessor of many sterling qualities which make him not only a good student hut also a true and willing friend. He has shown his ability to work by winning his place in the Honor Society during his three and one-half years stay at Tech. Among his favorite subjects are French, commercial drawing, and physics. The Boston Art School will next assume the direction of this young man’s abilities next fall. French Club, '27, '28; R. I. Honor Society. EVERETT MICHAEL BATTEY “Crash! Pop! Tinkle!” — —? — —?! “What’s that?” Oh! that’s just “Professor” Battey breaking another test tube or something up in 5-13. This emi- nent young chemist came to us three and one-half years ago from Laurel Hill. His is a bland countenance, even when arguing with “Uncle Dave” Hill. He haunts the student dances and socials in person as well as being “there” with a fat purse and therefore is quite a popu- lar “stude.” “Eve” intends to go to the college on the hill, where no doubt he will try to find some elusive atom in the chemistry “labs.” R.

Vivacity, vitality and kindliness have aggregated to form this chic specimen of inscrutable womanhood. She is fond of dancing and enters with zest into an enviable number of student activities, but that’s not all—; she is not averse to study, which has resulted in an im- posing list of A’s. Very often, she keeps a Sphinx-like silence, belied only by the laughter in her large brown eyes. Thus, we know not what college will l e graced by her presence in the fall. Best of Luck, Gladys.

MAXINE OLIVE BERRY Cette ties petite fillc” is usually seen here in school with “Willie” and “Marty.” Although she is an honor student, and adores (???) studying, she has found time to attend most of her class socials and student dances. We wish she would leave the poor hard-working under- graduates her formula for knowing all' her lessons without (to our knowledge) studying. In pursuit of art, “Max” has taken all the drawing courses that Tech offers and then some! After graduation, she intends to broaden her knowledge of the line arts at R. I. S. I). French Club.

His courtesy and sense of humor have impressed all and captured many friends. Jimmy has no regrets that he gave careful attention to his studies. Although absent from athletic activities, Jimmy has been interested in the socials and student hops and has always been generous in supporting any worthy cause. Jimmy has not as yet given a thought as to what he will do next. We recommend him for the position of flavor taster in some chewing gum factory. HARRY BRYDEN Well! Well! Well! Our honorable friend Harry who is one of the energized units of our class. When- ever anything is to be done, you will always find Harry giving a helping hand. He has gained favor among his schoolmates by his kindness and truthfulness, not to mention all the fun of which he is the inaugurator. Whenever you want Harry, locate “Jimmie” Gallagher, his partner in crime. In his studies he is a plugger, and we feel sure that he will create a decided sensation when he attends R. I. State in the fall. At Kingston he will dig into the ancient manuscripts of the engineer- ing course. Good luck “Harry”! French Club.

Not since “Tim” came to our midst four short years ago from George J. West Grammar School. He and “Duke” are Damon and Pythias. He has made lasting impressions on many of both sex. Wherever there is a disturbance, “Tim” and “Duke” are usually present. He considers chemistry his favorite subject. “Tim” is undecided as to his future. lmt we are sure that whatever advancement he desires will he his. CATHERINE MARY CAHIR “Kitty” And who does not know “Kitty,” the best friend any- one could wish for. and the star actress in our recent play “Adam and Eva.” “Kitty” attends all our social functions and always enjoys herself. .She is full of “pep” and fun. and these qualities together with her charm and self-possession have helftefi to make her the popular girl she is. “Kitty” is jifudecided as to her future, hut—here’s to her sliced . .

SPENCER CARLISLE “Spen” Lost—“SPEN”—found outside 2-1,3 in earnest con- versation with-. It is remarked that Spen’s weak- ness is the opposite sex. He may he seen at any time debating with his pal “Eddie” on their next social engagement. And can these two boys dance. And how! Spen’s one great ambition is to he an actor. He was a great success in “Adam and Eva.” Who knows hut what some time in the near future, we shall see our own Spen on the silver screen or an accomplished actor in some stock company. MYRA ELIZABETH CARLETON Myra can e to Tech four years ago from George J. West Grammar School. Her stay at Tech has been a pleasant one. Myra’s quiet manner has won her many friends. She can often be seen talking over lessons with her friends Willie, and “Max.” Myra’s favorite study is drawing. Because of outside interests. Myra has not attended many socials. Although she has not foretold what she intends to do in the future, we are sure that in whatever she undertakes she will be suc- cessful. Spanish Club. '20. '27. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 9 ALBERT CARLOTTI This sturdy looking young man is our “Al” who has paraded the corridors of Tech for the past four years. Although outside activities have prevented our “Al” from taking jxart in athletics, he has always given them material support. If you see someone “whiz” by you at the student dances or socials, you can he reasonably sure that it is “Al.” He has concentrated on all his subjects, and next fall, he expects to enter Brown where he will investigate the intricacies of engineering. Honor Society; French Club, '26, '27; Class Basketball; Chcmistrv Team. ELLEN S. CARLSON This pleasant looking miss is none other than our Ellen, who, in her four years at Tech, has won a great number of friends with her sunny disposition and winning smile. Ellen is very seldom seen burdened with books. Nevertheless, she stands high in her sub- jects. She claims domestic art is her favorite sub- ject with algebra a close second. Some day, we expect to see Ellen private secretary to some business overlord as she intends to further her education at Gibbs Secretarial School in the fall. SIGRID CHARLOTTE CARLSON “Siggy” Our “Siggy,” four years ago entered Tech’s portals in quest of knowledge. “Sig” succeeded in her quest and became particularly fond of domestic science. She is a prime favorite because she is a true friend, and an interesting companion. She and Etta are such in- separable “pals” that we wonder if they ever go in opposite directions. Tech will certainly miss this pretty young lady when she packs her trunk for Kings- ton. Good luck, “Siggy”! Home Room Alternate, 1A; Home Room Rep., 2B, 2A; French Club, '26, '27. RUSSELL HIGSON CARPENTER “Rus” came to us from the John Howland Grammar School and has proved himself otic of the hardest work- ers in our class by completing his course in three and one-half years and “making” the honor society. Al- though he has hen unable to take an active part in athletics, hut has supported the teams with his presence at the games. Russell is an exceptional English stu- dent. He intends to enter Brown in the fall and then to further his training in some dental college. R. I. Honor Society; French Club. 10 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 i ESTHER FRANCES CARROLL A suppressed giggle, a burst of laughter, and lo, our Esther appears. Somehow she manages to he always cheerful and gay. With her contagious enthusiasm, and unspoiled spirit, she has surrounded herself with many friends during her sojourn at Tech. No matter how deeply engrossed in hard or displeasing labor she may he, she can always spare a moment for a smile or greeting. When Esther leaves the portals of Tech, she will attend the Rhode Island College of Education. 4A Home Room Representative, ’28; Dramatic Society, ’28. MABEL ANNA CAREY Mabel has spent about one third of her time since she entered Tech in getting out of the trouble that her mischevious nature has led her into. One only has to see her with her friend, Charlotte, whispering and giggling in the corridors to know that some class will soon be upset. But in general, Mabel is well liked bv both her teachers and her classmates. After graduation, Mabel expects to continue her pursuit of knowledge at the Virginia Seminary, Petersburg, Va. We all wish her the best of luck, health, and happiness in the future. DOMENIK W. CAPRIO “Cap” “Who’s that solving those ‘math’ problems?” “Why, that’s ‘Cap,” the ‘mathematic wizard’.” “Cap” came into this country three years ago from the Military College of Naples, and after a short stay at Bridgham Grammar School, he entered Tech two years ago. Although outside interest has kept him from athletics, lie has contributed liberally. During his short stay at Tech, he has become one of us. He awards mathe- matics first place in his affections. We shall look for him at R. I. State College. Italian Club, (C. H. S.) ’26, '27, 28. FERDINAND CATALANI And now, readers gentle and otherwise, allow us to give you a closc-up of a calm and noble classmate, Ferdinand, better known to his friends as “Cats.” “Cats” came to Tech from Bridgham Grammar School and lost no time in exerting a good influence. Cats was ever present with the noisy sextet in the lunch period. His future endeavors we know will bring him into the grand march to progress. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 11 WALTER ERNEST CHARLAND “Walter” Here is that well liked “chap” of numerous abilities. His early training in Tech was in the Vocational Course where he made an enviable record. He is usually found with his pal “Skipper with whom he has gone through high school. Everyone has his hobby, and Walter’s is music. The instruments he plays well are numerous, but at present that “vile base” instrument takes most of his attention. He is, however, a skilled locksmith as well as a musician. His thoughtfulness and in- genuity insure his future success. Senior Orchestra, '27, '28; Spanish Club, '27. HILDA FLORENCE CLARK Little, brown-haired, sparkling eyed! That’s our Hilda. Hilda makes a smile go a long way. Sym- pathetic she is, and considerate too. In addition to her joyous disposition, she has ability as a student, for she ranks high in all her subjects. During her stay at Tech, she has won regard and a reputation for being a real good sport. Don’t he surprised to see her in a neat white uniform, ready to give aid to the injured. Glee Club. SAMUEL HERMAN COHEN Here he is.—“the Campbell Kid,” generally known to us as “Sammy.” This dark eyed youth with the black curly hair, has more mischief in his head than is externally visible. This bundle of highly concen- trated fun and good nature came to us from Point Street Grammar School and wended his way through Tech, puzzling l oth teachers and fellow pupils, but, nevertheless, making many friends among both. “Sam” is always in the company of his friend “Al.” R. I. State anxiously awaits his arrival. Tech Senior Day Orchestra, '28. ________ ANTHONY ARTHUR COLETTI BVah! Rah! Rah! for “Kid Coletti.” But don’t let ' the name fool you, for “Kid Coletti” although small is really one of our “big noises.” When he smiles, we all smile with him, for his joke ability and good nature are unbounded. Coletti is also a member of the fa- mous noise making “French Quartette.” He has al- M ways towered above the rest of the class with his mechanical drawing ability. Besides, he enjoys mix- ing different chemicals to see what kind of odor he can produce. In a few years we shall hear of Coletti designing engines and motors for our future travelling vehicles.

During his peregrinations at Tech, he lias become distinguished for his sterling worth. Although he stands well in his studies, Antony claims mathematics and physics as his favorites, lie has not been enticed into our social whirls, hut has been a “fan” of all athletic contests. Next September, An- tony will enter R. I. State, where he intends to specialize in civil engineering. WILMA ARDELL CONGDON “Willie” Happy, cheerful “Willie”! How many times she has enlivened us when we were sad, or teased us back into a pleasant frame of mind when we were angry. She likes to dance and has, along with “Max” and “Marty,” been to most class socials and student dances. She is quick in repartee, and can forestall dull, conversation. According to her, domestic art is her favorite pur- suit. We, however, are not convinced because we have seen her these four years rushing to the lunch room at noon. We all wish for Wilma a happy future. R. I. Honor Society. EDWARD GERARD CONWAY What Ho! Here’s “Stretch” Conway, better known as “Eddie” among the fair sex and one of the class con- tributors of noise. Gaze upon his countenance and read there the humor, intelligence and kindness that have endeared him to the hearts of his friends and elicited the admiration of all with whom he came in contact during his short stay at Tech. As President of the Dramatic Club, “Eddie” has to help make the plays successful as he did in “Adam and Eva.” “Eddie” intends to go to Worcester Polytech in the near future.

Irving came to us fottr years ago from George J. West Grammar School. He is not a boisterous chap, but be can always be depended upon. He says machine shop calls forth his best ef- forts especially when he is pulling a lathe apart. Al- though he doesn’t attend all the socials, we are sure it’s not because he is bashful—? Next fall, we shall see Cookie’s name on the Freshman list at some college. Tech Hi-Y Club. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 13 JOHN BERNARDO COSTA Vir sapietis qui pauca loquitar Allow me to introduce .to you John Bernardo Costa. This quiet, conservative looking chap came to us four years ago from Taunton High School and has accom- plished much at Tech. “J. Bi” is on friendly terms with all of us. He has never taken part in athletics, but has participated in the collections. His motto is, “He is wise who talks but little.” J. B.’s favorite study is civics ( ?) but he admits he likes study periods. After graduation, Costa will enter the business world. MARY MONICA CRANE 2:30—And now Mary's favorite periods start. We are forced to admit abject failure in attempting to comprehend the functioning of her perpetual smile. Although competition has been high, we have to hand the laurels to Mary for the keenest sense of humor in the senior class. No situation is so serious, nor is any lecture so dull that she does not discern some target for her justly famous “wise cracks.” Of course, in the pursuit of pleasure, Mary had to sacrifice such minor things as too much study, but who of us will blame her? After graduation, Mary will devote her energy to the mastery of a business course. 4B Social Committee, '27; Home Room Alternate, '27. EARL SMITH CRAWFORD, JR. Earl’s career throughout his stay at Tech has been marked by the acquisition of a host of friends and of an enviable scholastic standing. He has attained to the Honor Society with but a nominal effort, and upon graduation intends to enroll at Northeastern. There he will pursue his favorite subject, electricity, with undoubted success. In addition to ranking high in his studies, Earl has been a regular devotee of socials and natatorial diversions for which his robust physique makes him eminently fit.

ARTHUR JOSEPH CROWSHAW “Art” Here ladies and gentlemen is the wise man of the class. “Art” has more fun reading three or four vol- umes about Pithicanthropus Erectus than anybody could have attending the student dances. Art says that elec- tricity is his favorite subject and that reading deep philosophies is about the most interesting thing that a fellow can do. Art has not “gone in for” athletics but the teams have all had his liberal support. He is undecided about his future, but will probably pursue some form of engineering work. 14 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 JOHN EDWARD COOK “Cookie” “Cookie” came to Tech four years ago from way down south, East Greenwich. Since then, he has been one of the most active members of the class. John has more than clone his share toward athletics, both financi- ally and by actual participation. “Cookie” has religi- ously attended all socials and student dances in spite of the fact that the fairer sex does not interest him— much. After June, “Cookie” will spend his vacation down where the cows grow and the nearest neighbor comes visiting in a horse and buggy. In September, we shall find him further broadening his education at Kingston. Track, 25, ’26, '27, ’28; Student Council, ’25, ’26; Basket- ball, ’26. ’27; Tkch Review Board, ’27, ’28. WILLIAM FRANCIS CUMMINGS “Bill” “Bill” arrived from Norwood Grammar School and while tarrying with us he has proved that his brain has plenty of grey matter. Although “Bill” receives good marks in all his studies, he prefers mechanical drawing and “math.” Because of outside activities “Bill” has not become a noted athlete although he is a prompt contributor. He appreciates a good joke and has won regard because of his sunny disposition. Bill expects to enter R. I. State when he leaves Technical.

HELEN LOUISE CUNNINGHAM Our Helen, the human question-box, is blessed with personality, and overflowing with geniality has acquired during her stay at Tech, a multitude of friends. Very soon, we realized the presence of a budding literary genius in our midst. Twas then Helen decided to lend her support to the 'l ech Review for which she has written some of the best stories we have had the pleasure of reading. “Happy” is best known for her ability to create mirth and to display a delightful sense of humor. After graduation she will enter some busi- ness college. Tech Review Board, '26, ’27, ’28; Debating Society, ’26, '27, ’28. CHARLES DEAN CURTIS “Charlie” “Charlie” came to Tech four years ago from a Grammar school in Connecticut. He was a very digni- fied Freshman (unusual). Throughout his course he retained that dignity, which, with his good word for everybody has brought him friends. Charlie had very little time to support athletics, although when it came to financial backing he was always prompt. He ex- l ects to enter the business world and he says, “If the world won’t give me a living, then I’ll make one.” Good luck, “Charlie,” wherever you go. R. I. Honor Society. 1928 15 THE TECH REVIEW WILLIAM ALLERTON CUSHMAN “Al,” “Cushie” Wherever you see a group of girls, you are sure to behold our “Al” in their midst because he certainly can attract. “Al” came to Tech three and one-half short years ago from Peace Street Grammar School, and since that time he has made a multitude of friends by his fine qualities. “Cusliie” tells us he likes “math” and “mechanical drawing,” but we notice that the only period to which he ever hurries is lunch. Although outside activities have prevented “Al” from partici- pating in athletics, he has graced all of our socials by his presence. “Al” intends to enter Kingston in the fall and we wish him all the luck in the world. Tech Hi-Y Club, '27, ’28. DOROTHEA LOUISE DALEY A lively, daring, blue eyed blonde, is “Dot.” Upon discovering that Durfee High was not adapted to her, she came to Tech. “Dot” is one of the fun promoters of our class, and smiles wisely on occasions. When- ever you see a teacher’s eye strained in her direction, you may be sure she is “up to some caper.” Because of outside interests, she has not attended many school activities. Next fall, she will brighten the corners of Gibbs Secretarial School. ARCHIE LOUIS D’AREZZO Now. dear readers, let me introduce to you Archie Louis D’Arezzo. A more friendly or loyal classmate than Archie would be hard to find enrolled in our school. You guess correctly when you say he is no slacker. Four years ago he left Laurel Hill Avenue Grammar School to come here. W hile he isn’t in the Honor Society, Archie has maintained a very creditable average during his four year with us. Although not a performer on the diamond or gridiron, he has given his full share of taxes. One can always depend on his presence at the school socials. Archie says he is un- decided as to his future education. Soccer Football, '25: French Club, '26, '27. LYMAN MORSE DARLING This handsome fellow is, “Tiny” who always comes breezing in to socials with the fur coat and the “iron” hat. His popularity with the fair sex is unsurpassed, and their is not a fellow in school who does not know and like him. We often wonder why he makes frequent trips to Brookline, but this secret is known only to a favored few. “Tiny” is partial to the company of cither Bob Williams or “Denny” Sawyer. After grad- uating from the University of Pennsylvania, he in- tends to make a name for himself in the business world.

He looks sober, but beneath this soberness there lies a keen sense of the humorous. “Al” because of his jx ise and well groomed hair is known as quite a “Beau Brum- mel” among the members of the opposite sex, and is therefore a very prominent figure at all of our socials. “Al” has not had much time to participate in athletics here, hut intends to make his ambitions good when he enters R. I. State next fall. Tech Senior Day Orchestra. ’28; Orchestra, '25, '26, '27. ELEA NORA DEL GUIDICE Four years ago, Eleanor came to Technical from Bridgham Grammar School. She is one of the young- est members of our class, and all will agree that she is one of the brightest. She avows that Italian is her favorite study. She is fond of athletics and never fails to support our teams. Eleanor intends to seek further knowledge at R. I. C. E. and we may in the future find her in the front of a classroom.

Winning, mischievous ways and a charm all her own have won our hearts. Can she “step?” Well, I guess! Our “Dot” may he seen at all socials and student dances. Although not taking part in ath- letics, she has participated financially. She claims domestic science and drawing as her favorite sub- jects. Her future is undecided, hut it is the wish of “28” that she succeed. Italian Club, ’28. MARIAN ELIZABETH DE VINNEY This young lady travelled to us all the way from Binghamton Central High School, last fall. It did not take long for Marian to make friends, for she has a friendly and pleasant disposition. She has attained a high standing in all her subjects, hut considers chem- istry the paramount one. After graduation, Marian intends to further her education at R. I. S. D. where she will enroll in the Normal Course. May she meet with success! 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 17 HARRY DI ZOGLIO Enter Di Zoglio the possessor of that smiling coun- tenance and those witty remarks which have often broken the spell of our peaceful classroom. This young man came from La Salle Academy two years ago. He lias always been successful, hut does not believe in burning midnight oil to win honors. Di Zoglio does like botany. He has done his share for athletics by attending all games. Di Zoglio has various friends among the fair sex whom he has never disappointed at socials or student dances. Next fall he will enter Providence College to continue with his studies. Italian Club, ’27, ’28. JOHN SAMUEL DILLON “Jack” This studious looking chap came to us four years ago from Edgewood Grammar School. He enjoys lunch and mathematics and he has aided athletics fi- nancially. After receiving the “sheep skin” from dear old Tech, “Jack” hopes to enter R. I. State to broaden his knowledge and incidentally to learn the deep mys- teries connected with the higher institutions. We all wish “Jack” luck in the years to come. JOSEPH EDWARD DOBOSYNSKI “Joe” Cast a glance upon the countenance of the young man in the accompanying picture. You do not have to ask, “Who is he?” Everyone knows “Joe.” He came to Tech from George J. West Grammar School and in his four years at Tech he has proved that congeniality is one of his assets. “Joe” is a member of the “Silent Sextet” and so is never lonesome. “Joe” considers French and chemistry have repaid him for extra at- tention. He is planning to enter R. I. State in the fall. GOMMAIR LOUIS JOHN DOMAIGE “Frenchy” Here he is boys, a genuine Belgian, who could not speak English when he came from Brussels, but has learned and made friends so fast that his address book is overflowing. “Frenchy” has no use for the weaker sex, but admits they sometimes come in handy at a dance. “Frenchy” is one of those fellows who besides going to day school, go to night school, to games, to dances, to clubs, and that isn’t all. He studies music and other interesting arts, and is never seen carrying a book home, but secures good grades. He has suc- ceeded in all he has undertaken and we hope he always will.

She is small in statue, hut of great helpfulness. She is win- some and wise, having interested herself in studies, athletics, and socials. The dressmaking period and lunch period have been first in her affection. Her future is undecided. HOWARD THURBER DOUGHTY “Duffy” This sober looking youth came to us four years ago from Sackett Street School. “Duffy” is readily known for his willingness to engage in a good laugh. “Duffy” is an accommodating fellow and although he does not use a Boston Bag to carry home his hooks he passes in his subjects easily (?). This rangy lad played on the Tennis Team where his height and long reach stood him in good stead. “Duffy” is uncertain about his future, but we shall probably hear of him in some electrical business. Tennis, ’26, '27. '28. MIRIAM DOWLER “Mini” Miriam is one of the notables of our class. When we encounter “Mini,” we first notice a pair of brown eyes;.then our glance (not a casual one) takes in a Titian hob; thoroughly interested, we continue our sur- vey and find Miriam most pleasing to the eye. Miriam migrated hither three short years ago and found a place in our class. Her popularity with the opposite sex is shown at our student dances and socials. She has oceans of “pep,” yards of “line” and everything requisite. “Mini” plans to attend Boston Art School next fall. Good luck “Mini.” Art Club, '26, '27; Social Committee, '27. JOHN JOSEPH DOYLE John came to us four years ago from Cleary Gram- mar School. He is a quiet fellow (?) and his friendly smile has won for him many “chums” in Tech. John likes lunch best, which is only natural, and drawing is second. Outside activities have hindered him from “making” any team, but he has supported all teams financially. After John has received the coverted award for his four- years of hard labor, he expects to enter the business world. In this new field, we sincerely wish him luck. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 19 ROSE DORIS DUBINSKY When Rose glides most unobtrusively through the corridors we all wait in excited anticipation of amuse- ment. This demure maiden oft hears away the palm in Terpsichorean competition, hut none would ever guess the capabilities of her genial personality.

Al- though not athletically inclined because of stature, “Les” displayed an untiring effort as a moral supporter of his teams. His faithful work as a student may he judged by his success during various examinations, from which he emerged victorious. His earnest striving for higher things, and his loyalty for his dear old school, endeared him to his fellow class- mates.

HENRY ALLEN EARLE, JR. “Dec” Yes, this is the fellow who steams down Summer Street every morning in his new Ford. Dec came to us in that memorable year 1924 and since then, he has added to his long list of friends at every opportunity. Dec has not participated in athletics to any great ex- tent. but he has faithfully supported them both vocally and financially. He enjoys a good time as shown by his attendance at all student dances with a red ribbon on his lapel. Next fall, he will enter R. I.

Reason thre Aid® vykll t to tell them aumccause Harry has been making friends and good records vgyer since he came to Tech. Harry has been a really good member of his class. He has at- tended to all the socials, and all athletics have been benefited from his promptly paid dues. His future is undecided, but we wish him success in whatever voca- tion he may choose. 20 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 ZAREH EGAVIAN Ladies and gentlemen, your eyes now rest upon the portrait of our fellow student. Zareh. He is popular among many students. “Egav” is an enthusiastic soccer and track man, in which sports he “shines.” Last March “Egav” competed with Baskin, the world’s hurdling “champ,” at the Armory. Of course “Egav” let Baskin heat him so he would not get all the honors. “Egav” excells in lunch with French listed as a close second. Zareh is studying the art of “electricity” and we shall prohahly hear of him in the future as the Pres- ident of a great electrical concern. Soccer, 25, '26, '27; Track.

The volume of “Dick’s” vocal power can he confirmed by any of his friends who accompany him to all the games. Dick is always in evidence at our student dances and socials and he seems to have the ability to get along successfully with the weaker sex. After graduation, “Dick” will enter the business world.

We have Classical High to thank for sending her to us in our Sophomore year. All play and no work is not her motto. Her mental calibre is evinced by the fact that she is a member of the Honor Society. Rhode Island State is the choice of Claire in the fall. Don’t forget the class of '28, Claire. R. 1.

Tech has been a livelier place to attend ever since. He and “Buck” are inseparable companions in all mischief. “Duke” claims English as his favorite subject. He has no definite plans for his future, but we shall probably find him at some aviation school. WILLIAM JOSEPH FASCITELLI Attention! Here comes “Bill” (bashful??) “Bill” is one of the most popular and noisiest members of our class. His sunny disposition and benevolence have won him many staunch friends during his stay at Tech. He certainly has taken part in athletics as his big “T” shows. “Bill” admits that “math” and chemistry are his favorite subjects; however, he has done good work in everything, and next fall he will probably try to make more records on Brown’s Track Team.

By placing business before pleasure, “Fred” has attained a high standing among his classmates who have found in him a loyal friend.

It is simply amazing the number of friends Elsie has acquired during her year and a half at Tech! Although not attending many student dances, she can “step with the best of steppers.” Her good scholastic record and her attendance at the school games prove that she is a “regular girl.” Elsie is undecided as to her future, but may good luck attend her every effort!

That young lady with the pretty brown hair and the flashing dark eyes is none other than our class- mate “1 loppy.” Although her manner is somewhat reserved, she has many friends, not only among students but teachers as well. As an accomplished dancer, 1 lelen is present at our dances and socials. Wherever she may he, her inseparable pal, “Bobby,” is found with her. May the qualities which made her popular at Tech continue to stand by her when she steps out into the world. She is undecided as to her future. Glee Club IB, 2B, 2A, 3A ; Dramatic Club 4A ; Student Dance WALTER FRANCIS HORBET “Walt” “Walt” came to the portals of Tech from Asa Messer Grammar School. He has attended all socials and has made many friends during his stay here. Because of outside interests he has never entered athletics although he has supported them freely. Chemistry and mechan- ical drawing are his favorite subjects, although he seems to “get by” in the rest. “Walt” usually comes in at 8:35 in the morning, but it is better late than never with him. His future is undecided. DOROTHY MAUD HOUSTON “Dot” Though Dorothy has a pre-occupied air, she is one of our class leaders and is full of fun. Her engaging smile and flashing wit have been magnets to draw friends. “Dot” enjoys herself at all the socials and dances and is an ardent supporter of athletics. She claims English is her favorite subject, but she does well in all of them. Some day, soon, we shall see Dorothy in a white cap and uniform nursing someone back to health.

She came to us four short years ago from Bridgham Grammar School. Although not having attended many student dances and socials, she has cultivated friendships in other ways. We all know what a wonderful piano player Blanch is. Who knows, may be someday she will he composing music. She is often deep in discussion with her “chum” Edith.

He has attended all our socials and no student dance would he complete without his services as bouncer. Biology and art are his favorite subjects although he gives some attention to the rest. “Wumpus” and “Henry” usually arrive at school about 8:15 A.

Although he has not participated in athletics, he has contributed generously towards the community chest. He excels in chemistry, shop and Italian. He never omits student dances or socials. After school, with a few of his friends, Ike races off in his high powered car. In Septeml er, he expects, with his friend Gemma, to enter Rhode Island State College.

REBELLA MARY IANNUCCILLO This sedate young lady, with the solicitous expression on her face, proves that good things often come in small packages. She is diminutive, hut she has earned an Honor Society pin. Rebella has worked conscient- iously while she has been in Tech, hut has always been responsive to the needs of her neighbor. She delights in test tubes and Bunsen burners. We wish success for Rebella in whatever she decides to do after leaving Tech. R. I. Honor Society; Italian Club, '26, '27. CHARLOTTE AM El LA JOHNSON “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” This adage may well be applied to Charlotte. She is a “shark” in geometry problems. Charlotte is a very active athlete, and is naturally so intelligent that she doesn’t have to worry about her lessons. Although Charlotte is un- decided as to her future, we are convinced that she will succeed in whatever she attempts.

He has two noticeable weaknesses: one for studying; the other, for athletics. ()utside activities have hindered him somewhat from the latter, lmt he has shown his ability as a member of the hockey team. “Dan’s” fa- vorite subject is “math,” but his marks show that he has done well in all his subjects. He hopes to enter college in the fall, and we wish him luck in his quest for knowl- edge at the higher institution. Hockey, ’28. NELS HAROLD JOHNSON “Hal” Crash! Bang! “What is all that noise around here?” “Oh! It’s only ‘Hal’ coming to school on his motor- cycle. In the short time he has been with us “Hal” has endeared himself to a goodly number of our class. Being a member of the “Silent Sextet.” he may be seen anytime or anywhere with one of its members. “Hal” has l een to all the socials and many of the student dances. He is one of the high lights in that respect. His favorite subject is mechanical drawing. After graduating “Hal” expects to go to Lynn to probe far- ther into the mysteries of mechanical drawing. “Has the last bell rung yet” is a familiar cry in 3-12 as “Don” comes hurrying in at 8:29. During his term of enlistment at Tech, “Don” has attracted many friends of both sexes. “Don” is not a performer on any of our teams but he is seen at all the games cheering lustily, and always at his side is that “Certain Party.” He says he is not partial to any subject, and after graduation he will enter Bryant and Stratton’s in search of further knowledge.

MARY ALICE KASPARIAN This dignified mademoiselle came to us from Candace Street School .four brief years ago, during which she has augmented the number of her well wishers. Al- though Mary has not participated in any of the sports, she has regularly strengthened their financial backing. She and Rebella are kindred spirits. This quiet (?) little girl confides to us that she likes dressmaking and domestic art. After leaving Tech, Mary intends to train for the business world. DONALD SPINK JONES 32 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 REALM MADEROS KECHIJIAN Here is a serene and unassuming youth who is on the best of terms with all of us. Although interested in sports, he has never taken part in them, but has con- tributed financially to their support, lie isn't exactly a “bookworm,” but ingeniously pulls through his studies fairly well. Providence College will be his Alma Mater. Good luck to you, old boy! HAROLD KELMAN “Hecla,” “Kelly” Well, who doesn’t know Harry? It is through Harry’s wonderful attributes that he has made so many friends. “Kelly” is an outstanding musician, and so at socials and student dances, he is always present with his “sax” to provide the sweet melody. Harry also applies his technique to a small black instrument, which he pleases to call a clarinet. Since Harry is a hard worker, we feel sure he will be successful, and in the future we expect to see him impressario of one of the world’s most famous orchestras.

He is undecided about his future, but we know he will “make good.” CATHLEEN ALLEN KIERNAN Whose merry laugher is that we hear resounding through the corridor? Why that is Cathleen’s. She may look stately, but you will learn that she’s jovial. Cathleen was ill and had to stay from school for six months, but she has kept up with the class. She has attained high marks in all her studies, but claims nutri- tution and French her favorites. We are sure she will be a kindly, competent attendant to her patients at the Rhode Island Hospital, where she intends to study to become a nurse.

KIRWIN Classmates, we have before us today, the picture of “Chet” Kirwin, the old biology shark. “Chet” proved his good judgment by changing from Classical to Tech. Whenever there is commotion in the locker room, you may he quite sure that “Chet” is the cause of it, but we forgive him. “Chet” is planning to enter Colum- bia University in the fall.

He has all the essential requisites for success with them. He’s tall, slim and has an interesting sweep of hair. The boy has IT. Ed’s favorite study is art.

Although he takes very few books home, he keeps a high standing in all his classes. 1 le never fails to be present at all the social functions of the class, and among his many accomplishments, his ability to sing makes him one of the mainstays of the glee club. I am sure that “Mickey’s” graduation will leave a place hard to fill in the student body of the school. We all wish “Mickey” the best of luck in whatever he under- takes after graduation.

NICHOLAS JOSEPH LAGRECA This quiet fellow is no other than LaGreca. In grad- uating this youth, Georgiaville gave us an excellent student and an ardent worker. Outside duties have kept him from taking part in school activities, but his financial support has never been wanting. LaGreca’s favorite subjects arc mathematics. I le excels at solving puzzling problems in geometry. The mysteries of chem- istry also appeal to him. As to the future, he is un- decided, but we hope that Tech has started him on the road to his deserving success.

For several terms he was one of the radio experts of the school, as he was a famous member of the 'Lech Radio Club. He has never taken part in athletics and seldom has attended our socials, imt his pocketbook has always done its part.

She trips from class to class with the unconcern of one who knows that she is ready for any question from her teachers. She came to us from Classical two years ago to the delight of both sexes at Tech. “Gertie” has driven away dull cares many a time with her happy remarks. Besides attending many of our social affairs, she has always found time for studying. Gerturde just “loves” home nursing.

Julie came to us from Point Street Grammar School four years ago. Although outside work has kept him from taking part in athletics he has willingly contributed to the budget. He has attended almost all the student dances and socials and enjoyed them all. His favorite subjects are civics—twice taken—and biology. 1 le has many friends because of his good nature and ability to “take a joke.” Julius intends to continue his study at R. 1. S. C. NICHOLAS LILLA “Smiling Nick,” yes, sir. that’s he. You know there is only one thing the matter with Nick. He’s too big- hearted. If you don’t heleive me just try him out sometime. After Nick came to us from Bridghani. it did not take him very long to swing onto the right track, doing his bit toward athletics and attending so- cials. Dentistry is his aim. Will he make a good dentist, did you ask ? We’ll say so—and how. Well, an revoir, Nick, and the best of luck.

We mean this debonair young man everybody calls “Sweet,” the Adonis of our class. “Sweet” is very popular, especially with the fair sex with whom we believe lie has no equal. His beaming countenance and ready adaptability, his willingness to help the other fellow, and his ability to do things well are some of his good points. His regular attendance at all school activities is symbolic of his school spirit. Some institution of higher learning will register “Sweet” as a student next September. 38 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 MARION RUTH MacGOWAN Marion MacGowan has golden hair, hazel eyes, a freckle or two, and a round little chin.

Although a quiet and demure fellow in the class rooms, he is one of the jolliest, outside. George has always been a loyal sup- porter of Tech. He excels in mechanical drawing, and is already a junior draftsman. Mechanical engineering is the field of his ambition. George also claims to he champion distance walker of Tech. Like a true fol- lower of the ancient philosopher, he is going out in the world to let it yield him the maintenance it owes him. FRANCES ELENA MELLONE Here’s to another diminutive Signorina! Frances lias never startled us with unusual effervescence, hut we would not have her different from she is.

No one can he lonely when “Ve” is around. Besides l cing a well known contributor to the community chest she is very popular at all our socials and “good times.” “Ve” excels in chemistry and Italian.

HELEN LOUISE OGLEY “Billie” Is there anyone who does not know our Helen? If there is. let him step right up for an introduction to one of the winning girls of the class. “Billie” is as jolly as can he and is always eager to share her happi- ness. Helen has attended all of our socials and student dances. Did you know that Helen likes uniformed men? Oh, yes, she does! After graduation, Helen will attend the Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School.

She enjoys a good time, but she appreciates good marks to the extent of ob- taining them. Although Alice was out of school for six months, she has kept up with the class. She has her circle, a wide one as you might observe at our socials. She has been a regular depositor in the Community Cbest. After leaving Tech, Alice intends to enter R. I. C.

Paloulian, Hail! our future Governor.” No, this is not a modern version of Macbeth, but a title bestowed upon our friend Harold by Mr. Cushman. Four years ago “Governor” entered Tech to absorb that which our beloved institution attempts to donate to its students. The “Governor” being an excellent student in the study of French, may be elected as an Ambas- sador to France in the future. Harold came to this country seven short years ago. His ability to con- centrate enabled him to follow the long road of suc- cess. After graduation, “Governor” will decide his future.

DOROTHY HARRIET PEARSON “Dottie” “Suddenly the cloud of darkness left my brain; A velvet bar of sunshine pierced the room, And in that mellow glory aureoled She stood, she stood, all golden in its gold.” You can always tell when “Dottie” has had an en- joyable evening, because on the following morning she is lively and full of fun. She is keenly interested in dress-making. Her future is to he unfolded, and may all its pages record the prosperity and happiness she deserves. , ETTA ALMEDA PEARSON None know her but to admire her; none name her but to praise. “Et” is droll, good company, unselfish; and furthermore has real zeal in regard to books. She has an unassuming manner and her even disposition will always make her a desirable associate. During her four years at Tech, she has gained a fine record in all her subjects. We all know “Et’s” love for music and how well she “tickles the ivories;” so we are sure she will succeed in her future study. Good luck, dear pal!

PELLINI “When you have read, you carry away with you a memory of the man himself: it is as though you had touched a loyal hand, looked into brave eyes, and made a noble friend.” These lines of Stevenson's could well apply to our friend Pellini. There is no one in the school by whom he is not liked and respected. Besides being in the Honor Society and on the track team, he possesses the single honor of earning a straight “A” report for one year. After graduation, Brown will be his next stop.

FEDELE PERRI Four short years ago Tech opened its arms to receive the amiable Fred Perri. During his stay here Fred has gained numerous friends through his good nature. Although Perri is not athletically inclined, he has al- ways helped to finance sports. Socials and student dances do not attract Fred because of outside activities. Perri is undecided as to his future, but as his interest is centered on business, we shall hope to hear from him in later years as manager of some leading concern. H ARMANDO PERRY Watch girls, here comes the bashful “shiek,” other- wise known as the irresistible lover. “Shiek” can also he regarded as the source of many a joke and hearty laugh in 3-5. Although quite a favorite with the feminine sex he can also swing a wicked leg in Soccer. It was largely due to his successful managing that the Soccer Team again won the State Championship. At 2:30 P. M.. he can he seen at his locker tucking his books for a rest until 8:30 A. M., but still he passes unhesitatingly in classes.

EDNA ELIZABETH PIERCE Ed Sweetest of the Sweet, and a treat to meet—is the only adequate description of our “Ed.” Many arc her friends. Enemies, she has none. She and “Dot” are constantly together. In fact “Ed” wishes her sur- name began with S, so that she might be near “Dot” in the Tech Review. She is an excellent scholar, but can always spare a mischievious glance where there is any fun. She attends all her school functions, and makes the mercury rise when it comes to her share in supporting her school teams. She is thinking seriously of entering Pratt Institute, New York, in the fall. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 45 MARY CARMINE PONTARELLI That “petite brune” who looks so aflfable? Why that’s little Miss Mary, a charming young lady who has the most delightful dimples. Have you ever heard her play the mandolin? You haven’t? Well, you cer- tainly have missed a real treat. Mary says that French and history are most alluring, hut we all feel sure that her Italian class is most enjoyable. Mary intends to enter R. I. C.

In the near future, “Frim” will lighten some business man’s labors, for she intends to take a business course at Bryant Stratton’s College. 46 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 MARY MARGARET REARDON Let me tell you about Mary. She and “Dot” are confidantes. During her sojourn at Tech, she has added many links to her chain of friendship and ob- tained a gooch rating. on Her reports. She likes history and English immensely. Mary’s presence at our socials has bein noted and although site hasn’t “gone out for any sports she ha staptoclily supported the Community Chcfct l J 1 r EJmng Tech, Mary will at- tend some college where she will be enlightened in business methods. We may, in the near future, see Mary a speed typist. LESLIE MONTGOMERY REID “Reidy” Two years ago Leslie Reid, better known as “Reidy,” came to us from “the big Town of Hopkinton.” Since then, he has gained many friends through his frank good-natured ways. He is forever playing practical jokes on the fellows and if there is a commotion during the 12:30 lunch period “Reidy” is usually the innocent cause. “Reidy” has not been able to participate in athletics due to his living so far from the school, but he has attended most of our socials and supported the teams whole-heartedly. Good luck, “Reidy”! French Club, ’28; Dramatic Club, ’28. RUTH RICHARDSON Ruth is another girl with laughing eyes, who came to us four years ago from the Thayer Street Grammar School. Her lips are ever ready to part in a smile and her cheeks dimple in accompaniment. She has a quick intelligence and a responsive friendliness. She is a loyal participant in class and school spirit and we wish her the best. Her hobby is talking, and that she can do. Ruth leaves us with her future undecided at present. WILLIAM HENRY ROMER “Bill” “Bill” came to Tech from Laurel Hill Avenue Gram- mar School. During those memorable four years at Tech. “Bill”’ has made hundreds (more or less) of friends. Although not studiously inclined, “Bill” has managed to make the grade. “Bill” says he likes shop- work and mathematics better, and we all think that he likes the fair sex best. “Bill” is a member of the “Silent Sextet” and is seldom seen without “Ernie.” “Bill’s” future is undecided, but we feel sure that the world will hear from him. Good luck, “Bill.” 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 47 MARION EUGENIA ROSS Engaging and full of animation. Marion is one of the most widely known members of the Senior Class. Her sweet smile and warm sincerity have contributed greatly in winning for her many friends. Marion’s cleverness and ability are marveled at. Her school-girl complexion and brown eyes are the boast of her class- mates. Her Honor Society pin shows the record she has always maintained. In the future, Marion will compete for more honors at Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School. Student Dance Committee, 4A; R. I.

He is that tall quiet blonde who came to Tech from the Asa Messer School. It has been whispered about that he is also very bashful, but we have reason to doubt that statement. How about it “Lou”? The trio, “Ed,” “Nick.” and “Lou” are always seen dashing to class. Outside duties have hindered “Lou” from entering into sports, but not from being a Royal good fellow. He is undecided as to his future, hut we all wish him the best of luck. AMERICO JOSEPH RUFFO Well, after working for one year, RutTo decided that school was the best thing after all. Four years ago, he came to Tech and has won many friends, during his stay to acquire knowledge. Although he has not taken part in many of the social activities, he has been busy in burning the cinder track at Roger Williams Park. His favorite subjects are algebra, history, and Italian. His future is undecided, but we expect him to go in quest of the Cap and Gown next fall at some higher institution of learning.

A great multitude of people over there had just found out about the promised land, “America.” Many boat loads of people bad come to America, and among them Rutcho, who braved the perils of the unknown, and who by and with the hand of Providence found himself in Beacon Avenue School, unable to speak English, and without any parents. A spirit and determination char- acterized his later life and still prevails in this likeable chap who has won one of the greatest battles of life. We all know he will succeed, because he is a smiling lad of determination. Here’s to Christy and his future work at Providence College Pre-Dental School. JAMES ROBERT SADLIER Hark! Who can that he making so much commotion in the hack of the room? Why that’s none other than our happy-go-lucky little friend “Red” up to some new mischief. This young chap came to us from Saint Patrick’s Grammar and has fascinated many a youth and many a maid of Tech with his well known bass voice. Although not athletically inclined, he always has supported the financial end of the teams. Since coming to Tech “Red” has not missed a student dance or social. How’s that for a record, girls? After graduation, we expect to see “Red in the business field of adventure.

Even though he does come from East Providence, “Denny” has in his possession an Honor Society Pin, and many friends. He attends all the school socials, and although sometimes lie isn’t dancing, we all know that he would like to throw his banjo away, and whirl around the hall with a certain young lady. “Denny” intends to climb to the school on the hill next fall, where he will fit himself to be a second Lindbergh.

She in- tends to enter Pratt Institute, in New York in the fall. We all regret that “Dot’s” four years at Tech are ended. All her classmates believe, that whatever her profession, she will be successful. 50 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 REMIRA SCUSSEL It is our happy priviledge to introduce Remira, big in the liearts of her classmates. During her three and one half years’ stay here, Remira has made many friends. She has little to say, but a glance at the honor roll reveals her name! She is ever ready to do a good turn. Remira intends to teach the three R’s and we hope she continues her good record. We wish her the best of luck when she enters R.I.C.E. next fall. R. I. Honor Society. ANNA MARY SHANLEY There is no need to introduce this genial miss. Her savoir fairc and charm have gained for her a legion of friends during her four years’ sojourn at Tech.

She can parlcs-vous tres Hen, is a shark at chemistry, and a wonder in drawing. I could say she has many friends (she has, indeed), a wonderful disposition (sometimes), is an angel in all of her classes (all?); but you would say, “That’s just like every other per- sonal.

It would be “Smithy”, of course, and one of his extremely witty jokes. Harry returned to Tech after having graduated from a Junior high school in Los Angeles. California. He declares that mechanical drawing and French are his preferred subjects. Harry expects to leave these superior halls of fame and education, and go right into the business world. Let’s wish him heaps of good luck! NORMA SMITH “Tommy” is known to her classmates as the cham- pion gum chewcr. Since she entered Tech in ’24 this habit has involved her in more or less trouble with the teachers. But in general “Tommy” is well liked and can claim nearly all of the class as her friends. No one has ever seen her studying, but she always manages to come out with more than passing grades. With her happy smile and carefree nature, Norma is sure to be a success in her chosen vocation, and as she leaves Tech she has the best wishes for future happiness from her classmates and friends.

Eva intends to enroll at the Rhode Island Hospital in the fall to become a nurse. DAVID SOREN “Dave” “Well! Well! Here is our old friend “Dave.” Four years ago “Dave” came to us from the wilds of Sackett Street Grammar School. He has attended most of the socials and although he has not taken an active part in athletics he has ever been ready to render financial aid. “Dave” has gained many friends during his happy stay at Tech and we surely will miss his smiling coun- tenance about the school.

W hile assimilating knowledge herein, “Mel” has been sociable, and neglectful of neither sex. He has not displayed athletic superiority, hut has given his quota to budgets. “Mel” may he seen anytime with “Al”. Although not studiously inclined he has always passed his subjects. “Mel” claims mechanical drawing as his favorite subject. After graduation “Mel” plans to enter architectural business, (iood luck to you, “Mel.” ALICE MARION SPENCER “Al” “To have and to hold.” “Al” is one that finds this motto easy to abide by, in regard to her friendship with others. We realize “Al” has countless friends, but her special is “Dot” with whom she strolls leisurely along having a confidential chat or planning some social event. “To know her is to love her.” “Al” came to us from Last Providence High three short years «ago. “Al” is a very lively girl outside the class room. JOSEPH STANLEY “Rang, hang, chug, boom! Don’t become alarmed, you hear Joe starting his Lizzie. Joe has taken no active part in athletics, hut has been a staunch advocate of them all. Although he seldom carries home all his books, he passes in all his subjects with a good margin. His sensible and humorous remarks have tested the rcsibilitics of many a class. Joe has not decided upon his future yet, but some day we hope to hear of him as a prominent engineer. HARVEY BROWN STEERE A rather quiet, unassuming, studious sort of chap is this young man who hails from Chepachet. Because of other interests we have not seen Harvey «at the socials and athletic events although his thoughts were always with us and he has given generous financial support. Of a genial disposition Harvey found it easy to acquire many good friends as well as good marks. When Har- vey departs to enter the business world, and in the future perhaps to become mayor of Chepachet, Tech can he justly proud of him. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW DOROTHEA MAYHEW STOCKWELL “Dot” Here we present Dorothea, our representative from Edge wood. “Dot” came to us four years ago from Broad Street Grammar School. We often wonder when “Dot” does her studying as she is never over- burdened with books, but she ably passes in all her subjects as will he seen by her Honor Society pin. “Dot” belongs to the well known “Three Musketeers” and may be met at all times with her pals “Bet” and “Flossy”. We expect to find her at Elmira College next year. R. I. Honor Society; Field Hockey, '24; Volley Ball, ’25: Basketball, '28; Tech Review Board, '26, '27, '28; Advertising Manager, ’28. OTTO GEORGE STRUNZ “Peewee” Well! Well! Here is our jocund friend “Peewee.” Otto came to Tech four years ago from “the little red school house,” alias Vineyard Street Grammar School. Since then, lie has supplied us with multifold diversion by his timely jokes and quips. “Peewee” is generally accompanied to school by his trusty cornet. In a cross country meet he can be seen chasing the other fellows around the course. His favorite subject is commercial drawing in which he excels. “Peewee” intends to further his education at some art school where we are sure he will prosper. Freshman Orchestra, '24.

Yes, John has that pugilistic appearance, hut he is as gentle as a lamb. “Sully” surely must have plenty of adventures as he is always telling strange stories to his classmates. He claims English and mathe- matics are his favorite subjects. Although John seldom carries any books his averages arc all high. We can always find him with Kelman, his “fellow countryman.” In the fall “John L.” will journey down to Kingston where he will study engineering.

GLADYS ELIZABETH SWANSON Four years ago “Glad” strolled through the doors of lech, fresh from Sackett Street Grammar School. Since that time, she has done well in her studies, she likes history and geometry best. “Glad” also excels in sports.

West sent us “Dot.” “Dot” is one of Tech’s brightest rays of sunshine, full of mischief and able to forget herself in serving others. She has always been a generous supporter of the community chest and has graced all socials. Her favorite studies are chemistry and domes- tic art. “Dot” will share her sunshine in the future making some convalesant better at the Rhode Island Hospital. Hockey, ’24, ’25, ’26, ’27. NELSON CARR TALLMAN Brethren, gaze upon this solemn looking person. Do you recognize him? Well, I guess you do because every- one does. “Tall” is a very quiet young man but yet he has made many friends because of his pleasant dis- position and his attendance at the socials. His favorite subjects are in the mechanical department. We expect to see him enter the business world next year and wish him the greatest success. EARNEST K. TAPNER Here he is, “Earnie” Tapner, one of the popular members of our class. “Tap” came to us from Peace Street Grammar School. His expressive contenance has caused us to like him. “Tap” can be seen most any day making a spirited dash across Summer Street with his two pals, “Brad” and “Dek,” trying to make Eng- lish class on time with an armful of books and a half devoured ham sandwich. Next year, will find “Tap” down in Durham, North Carolina, attending classes at Duke University. Basketball, '26, ’27, Manager: Swimming, ‘26, Manager: Com- munity Chest Fund, '27. WILFRED B. TATRO “Bill” Gentle readers let us introduce “Bill”. Who in Tech does not know him? Four years Tech has had the pleasure of his company and in this time “Bill” has shown himself to be a “regular fellow.” His witticisms have been thoroughly appreciated by all his classmates with whom he is a favorite. “Tate” as he is sometimes called, is a star on our football team and is also active in other sports. He claims electricity as his favorite study. After graduation, he will go forth to win the success that we know awaits him. Football, 26, ’27; Track, ’28; Baseball, ’28. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 55 FRANK GEORGE TAYLOR “For he’s a jolly good fellow” is the phrase which explains the popularity of Frank, our joy seeking class- mate. He and “Sheik.” known as the “Siamese Twins,” are always thinking up schemes to promote some mis- chief. Frank has been a valuable asset to the baseball teams of Tech. When it comes to concentrating on studies, Frank is right there. He is also a musician, as he can surely fiddle the violin. His all-round like- ability is the big factor in winning friends. After graduation Frank will continue his education. EDWARD O. TIERNEY We take pleasure in presenting our “pal” and class- mate, “Ed” Tierney. “Ed” has been our friend and companion for four long years and during that time he has pursued the even tenor of his way, acting always as l efits a gentleman, and quietly gaining the esteem of his teachers and the good-fellowship of his class- mates. During “Ed’s” high school course he, “Lon,” and “Nick,” have been the best of “pals”. The camera bears witness that “Ed” is attractive, but he’s shy, and thus far girls have not attracted him. We heartily wish Ed success when he enters Providence College to begin the first lap of his Dental Career. MARGARET ELIZABETH TILLINGHAST “Betty” Let us introduce you to another little girl “Bet’s” motto is “Happiness.” Her’s is the smile that won’t come off. “Betty” is one of the honored memlxirs of the “Three Musketeers.” If you miss “Bet” you will I surely find her strolling down the spacious ( ?) cor-1 n ridors of Tech with her “pals” “Dot” and “Flossy.” | “Bet” makes good in all her subjects and next year we j hope to find her at Posse-Nissen School of Physical Education.

ABRAHAM TORGEN “Abe”—Torgc—can be seen walking down Broad Street to school—walking—my, my—what a stride— or waiting for some high powered car to rush him to school. The U. E. R. can’t say that “Honest Abe” has passed any oxidized cartwheels for trolley rides to school because the Tech lunch room gets his coins for “Abe” must satisfy his sweet tooth—teeth. Although outside interest has prevented his attendance at the socials and games, he has been a lusty rooter for Te:h athletes and has liberally contributed to their support. “Abe” enjoys studying Cleopatra—History. “Abe’s” future depends on the kind heart of “Shylock”—a money-lender—or a “lucky break.” 56 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 CHARLES TOWNSEND Although “Charlie” has graced the halls of Tech for only one short year, he lias gained for himself a school of friends. “Charlie” came to us from New Jersey and has attained high marks in all his subjects. He is manager of the track team besides being a member of the Varsity tennis team. Tech will certainly miss his obliging disposition and quick wit when lie leaves. Some college will admit “Charlie” in the fall where we know high achievement will be his. Good luck, old man. Tennis, '27, ’28; Manager Track Team, ’27, '28. RANDALL WILLIAM TUCKER Hey! Hey! Who is this handsome chap rushing down the corridor at 8:29? Ah! Tis “Rand,” always on the last minute. Rand came to the open portals of Tech one year and a half ago from Oak Park High School, Illinois. Although he has never gone out for any of the sports, he has always been at the games to cheer the team along and has always helped financially, lie alleges his favorite studies are Latin and chemistry. We shall probably sec him parading about Northeastern in the future, hut wherever he goes we wish him good luck. HELEN MARPE VANDERBURGH Helen came to us from New York State, last fall. She has become well liked here because of her sweet and winning ways. One may find her skipping up to 5-13 every night, for chemistry is one of her favorite subjects. Helen has had excellent marks in all of her studies. She is undecided about her further education. May she meet with success! Dramatic Club. ’28.

Mechanical drawing is his favorite subject with algebra a close second. “Clif” is undecided as to which col- lege will he favored by his presence hut one surely will he lucky. MIRIAM GLEE WELLS Here, gentle reader, is our Miriam. She is sweet, pleasing and popular among both sexes. Miriam came to us two years ago, hut has as many friends as if she had been here four years. Although she has never overworked herself with hooks, she always obtains good marks. Have you ever heard her play the violin? She can certainly swing some delightful melodies. Because of her outside interests, she has not attended many student dances. Next fall, she will attend Boston Uni- versity taking regular courses at Boston New England Conservatory of Music.

In spite of all his merry making, “Cliff” has passed his studies with credit. Although “Westie” is yet undecided as to the future, we feel sure that his pleasing character will carry him a long distance toward Success and we all wish him the best of luck. 58 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 ARNE WESTERINEN Arne has an appearance of reticence, but looks may deceive. He may often be heard shouting to his friend “Spen” concerning the next student dance, social or outside engagement. Yes, Arne dances. Any of the opposite sex will inform you that the student dances will lose a steady customer. Arne always sees to it that social activities never harm his scholastic standing as his Honor Society pin proves. This summer Arne intends to increase his knowledge of engineering at Washington and then to travel the well known hill to Brown in September.

By Willie and Max Ten thousand years ago one of Cleo- patra's suitors who was considered “no- body's fool said, “It takes all kinds of fish to fill an aquarium. In June, 1924, a matter of four years ago, keepers of the Small Aquariums de- cided to send the most developed of us fish into deeper water after more food (for thought). In September of the same year, we had to desist from our gambol- ings in the green (elementary) aquariums and betake ourselves to the Greater Aquarium termed “Tech. Here we were destined to remain four years. The first day was a dark horse (nightmare of course). We were evidently all con- sidered sardines, for we were packed into boxes (class rooms) air tight, having for oil soft words from fisher men and fisher women called home room teachers. We did many things wrong and, sad to re- late, some of us provoked the anger of our first Home Room Teacher on our first day of school. We floundered about the corridors, our fins interlocked and were prodded by Swordfish (Sopho- mores). A disappointing initiation no doubt but you must remember we were only little fish! Nevertheless, we were not depressed by the strangeness of the state of affairs and immediately formed the opinion—“Well, this ain’t so bad.” Ah! but that was uttered in our foolish ignorance. In the days that followed, we did so many strange and silly things and saw so many strange and—(oh, dear) faces that our minds were in a turmoil (they still are). Some fisher men mis- took us for shrimp and tried to make us wiggle. We swam wearily through a maze of books, the titles of which have long since been dimmed by Time's ever - moving finger. In our second year we became better acquainted with the “Principal Fisher- man (Mr. Manchester) who has been a friendly, noble guide and who has kept us out of shallow water. There was con- siderable excitement precipitated in the Lunch Room which resulted from the knowledge that we were cannibals partak- ing of Brother Salmon with much relish. (But then he always was the “pink sheep of the family!) The contents of books and more books were packed inside us, that is studied, picked to pieces, discussed, finished, and promptly forgotten. It’s wonderful how we took out the inside of books—just looked hard at them and the words came right up through our eyes into our minds. Yes, we had minds; in fact several of us had become sharks and knew a whale of a lot. Ho hum! Two years to go. The third scholastic year was the be- ginning of the end (those afore-men- tioned last two years, of course). In that year we dived into the society life of this school of fish in the form of our first class social. The Debutantes were there; and the inevitable Lobsters dressed beyond recognition, were “sitting tight” like barnacles on the side of a rock. This condition prevailed until the Turtles who chaperoned, acted as catalytic agents and mixed us, with the aid of some good dance music rendered by “Peter Pick- erel’s Orchestra as a stirring rod. A good time was had by all even the clams, especially when the refreshments were served, for the dancers melted away like fried ice, and talk and laughter were 62 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 heard. In fact that’s all that was heard. Listen my children and you shall hear of the trials of the Senior Year. There are nominations, elections, rings, pictures and what not. After all, it’s a great life and “in the course of ichthioid events” we have learned to spout, “Well—these supernatural solicitings cannot be ill, can- not be good, but they’re not so bad.” There’s been another change also; we have grown from little fish into Big Fish. The books we have not read are the “Dic- tionary, “Encyclopedia Brittania,”“Book of Etiquette,” “Boston Cook Book,” and “The Social Register.” Some of us after graduation, are going on to the Greater Aquariums (colleges) and others are going into the Great Sea of Life where the waters are cold and relentless. Then, hail and fare ye well, ye kindly, patient toilers of the deep (Teachers) ! 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 63 The Relation of Chemistry to Health and Disease By Helen Vanderburgh. ’28 (Awarded Girl’s Price in In early times, chemistry and medicine were more noticeably bound together than at the present day, although with careful study one may see to what great extent chemistry and health and disease are now related. In Alexandria, years before the birth of Christ, students at the medical schools there spent much time on the study of the human anatomy. The bodies of liv- ing men—usually criminals condemned to death—were opened, and in this way much was found out about the organs, functions, and structure of the body. Hippocrates, a Greek physician living several centuries before the birth of Christ, was of great service to the cause of chemistry and medicine. Over two hundred different remedies (mainly herbs) are mentioned in his writings, al- though he was a strong advocate of diet, air, and exercise. In the far east, chemistry was turned over to the priests, who spent many hours of the day in the temples, mixing and preparing medicine from herbs. It was at about this time that the priests were forbidden to shed blood, so operations were performed by barbers, and the fa- miliar barber’s pole still bears testimony to that practice. Gradually there was a visible separa- tion between chemistry and medicine, and Anthony Medal Contest) they were soon relegated to two distinct fields, hut even the widening influence of the times could not prevent the two from being constantly linked together. So they went, down through the ages up to mod- ern times and the advancement of Pasteur’s important discoveries. Pasteur was a Frenchman, and at this time France was suffering heavy losses, due to the spoiling of wine during storage and transportation. The wine became muddy in appearance and sour in taste, totally unfit for use. After some experi- menting, Pasteur found that if the wine were heated to a certain temperature and then cooled, it would neither spoil nor turn muddy, and the flavor would still be retained. This process became known as “pasteurization,” after its famous dis- coverer, but the term is now used more in connection with milk than with wine. In the pasteurization of milk there are two methods which can be used—the “flash” method and the “holding” method. In the flash method the milk is raised to a high temperature, held there for about thirty seconds, then cooled rapidly. Al- though this is the commercial way, it does not compare with the holding method, in which the milk is held at a high temperature for a much longer period. Chemistry has also had its share in the 64 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 purification of drinking water. No one can deny that a city’s water supply affects the health of the inhabitants of that city. Contagious diseases such as typhoid and diphtheria have often been traced to im- pure drinking water as their source, so too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity for an absolutely pure water supply. The chlorination of water has done much towards its purification. Lack of iodine in the water has ofter caused goiter, and certain sections of the country are more in danger of this disease than are others. In Rochester, New York, iodine is artificially introduced into the reservoir there, to make up for the lack of a natural supply. It is to the chemist that the physician owes the use of anesthetics. That there were anesthesia-producing substances was not unknown to early physicians, but they scorned to use them, so even the most painful operations were performed while the patients were entirely conscious. The use of ether and “laughing gas” as an- esthetics marked the beginning of a new era in both medicine and chemistry, for it was left to the chemist to delve deeper into the study of anesthetics, and to per- fect those already in use. Local anes- thetics for minor operations soon came into general use. For a time cocaine served this purpose, but many deaths were caused by its use. Chemists then undertook the study of the cocaine mole- cule, which was found to contain three atoms—one relative to that found in nicotine; another, to the poison hemlock; while only the remaining atom contains the anesthesia-producing property. The useful atom was then extracted from the molecule, so that cocaine is no longer dangerous, but a new substance, novo- caine, is rapidly displacing cocaine for current use. These are but a few instances in which medicine and chemistry are necessarily linked together, and chemistry will al- ways be vitally connected with health and the cure and prevention of disease. The Gentleman in Gray Marvin Cornell. ’30 Told by a A small gentleman in gray, out on one of his habitual exploring trips, came upon a large, “spooky-looking” house. Led by his natural curiosity, he entered by a loose fitting door, lie found himself in a dismal room in which there were many strange appearing articles. He could hear doors rattling, and the wind moaning. Over all he smelt an odor which was very pleasing to him. On tiptoe, he progressed across the room, led on by that fragrant smell. Freshman Ah! He spies the source of the odor upon a small platform. He nears it, he reaches for it. and as he does, lie hears a faint click. He looks up quickly; an iron bar is descending; it is too late to dodge; the horrible device has broken the gentleman in gray’s neck. All is quiet again except for the moan- ing of the wind. Ah! Such is the sad tale of a poor mouse on his quest for cheese. 1928_________THE TECH REVIEW________65 The Relation of Chemistry to National Defence By Gommaire Domaige, ’28 (Awarded Roy's Trice in Anthony Medal Contes!) Although chemistry is comparatively a new study in the scientific world, its uses and appliances are very old, and its im- portance to national defense can no longer he ignored. The first time that chemistry was used directly as a weapon goes back to the old stone age, when a man was smoked out of his cave by the smoke of a fire built among the leaves at his cave entrance by his enemy. But the first time that the appliances of chemistry was used on a large scale as a war weapon was during the World War, when all kinds of gases, smoke screens and ex- plosives were used. Ever since men first fought among themselves they have tried to get at their enemy from a distance so as not to en- danger themselves too much. Therefor when the first explosive gunpowder, was invented, by some unknown chemist, it started a new era in warfare. One of the most wonderful things that the chemist has done, is finding some use- ful application in peace time for all the gases and other chemical weapons used during the war. Most all the poisonous gases can he used for the manufacturing of dyes and medicines as well as other minor uses. Dynamite, one of the most widely used explosives, is in war time used for wreck- ing purposes, while in peace time it is used for building purposes and for agri- cultural purposes in clearing fields of obstacles such as rocks and stumps. Dynamite is entirely a chemical product and is both just as important in peace time as in war time. Another great achievement of chem- istry in relation to national defense as well as to industries is the manufactur- ing of steel by the Bessemer process. In peace time this steel is used for build- ing purposes of all kinds, while in war time it is used for the manufacture of guns that defend the nation. When the war broke out we were prac- tically unprepared because the people had not wanted to face the truths of chem- istry. Instead when a chemist discovered a poisonous gas they placed a ban upon it. This ban was usually so strict that the chemist did not bother to investigate either the gas or the protection against it. When Germany made her first gas at- tack the result was tragic. Thousands were found dead and dying with horrible agonies; the result of unpreparedness. Then! the ban on poisonous gases was withdrawn and the chemists were let “loose” in their laboratories to find some means of protection for the soldiers. During the war Germany taught us a hitter lesson, but did we learn it? Arc we realizing the importance of chemistry 66 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 to national defense? Are we preparing ourselves? Yes, in a way, but still we are not doing as much as we could. By that I do not mean that we should build a great number of battleships, tanks and other war implements, but we should pre- pare ourselves through industries. In order to progress in our industries we must have national defense but in order to defend our nation properly during war time it is necessary that our industrial development is great enough to compete with the industrial development of our enemy. This can be understood easily by Germany’s position during the war. The reason Germany held on so long, while being completely cut off from the rest of the world by the Allies, is because her chemical industries were the leading ones in the world. She had prepared her- self during peace time and had every- thing necessary right in her own country. Germany’s real soldiers were not the ones that were at the front, but the chemists that stayed at home. When England’s navy prevented Germany to reach Chili to get saltpeter, from which nitrogen is obtained, she thought that Germany would only be able to keep on fighting for a little while, because nitrogen is obsolutely necessary for the manufacture of explosives as well as for the growing of plant foods. But Germany got her chemists together and they devised a method of obtaining nitrogen directly from the air and it was the same with everything else. Germany’s chemists de- vised methods for making all kinds of chemical warfare weapons in order to keep on fighting longer. They understood the relation of chem- istry to national defense and its import- ance, and they prepared themselves, not so much by building war implements, than by improving and progressing in her dye and other chemical industries. In this short discussion I have tried to show the relation of chemistry to na- tional defense and its corresponding rela- tion to industrial development because I believe they both go together and can not go one without the other. I have only to add that the people of the nation instead of talking against the chemist and his work, should as a nation help and en- courage him in his research work, be- cause it is he who will be our defender and saviour in future wars. o------ COMPENSATION “Mother says there was a fly in the cake she bought here yesterday.” “Tell her to bring the fly back and I will give her a currant for it.” Farrell: “Did you know Mr. Man- chester is a musketeer?” Ajootian: “How do you make that out ?” Farrell: “He tells us that we musketeer at 8:30 every morning.

Three weeks previous he had been commissioned to Russia as representative of “The Daily Mail,” a prominent London newspaper. He had journeyed to Moscow expecting to witness the turbulent revolutionary riots to which Russia and the city of Mos- cow in particular were subject. However, a more quiet, peaceful three weeks he could not have spent. So, wholly disap- pointed in his expectations he sat musing, and wishing himself back in London among the gay whirls of social life which he had been compelled to abandon. Sud- denly, his reverie was interrupted by a sharp rap on the office door. In answer to Carrington’s “Come in,” his valet en- tered the room. “Well, Hobbs,” asked Carrington, “what do vou want ?” “I just came. Sir. to remind you that you ’ave an engagement with the Minister of Police at three-thirty, Sir.” “Confound the Minister of Police. Well, what time is it now, Hobbs?” “It is three o’clock, Sir.” “Well, I’ll he along in a minute, and say, Hobbs, lay out my blue serge for me.” “Yes, Sir, anything else. Sir?” “Well,” drily, “you might give me a shirt, and a collar and I might suggest a necktie, I think I’m in the habit of wear- ing one.” “Very good, Sir,” replied the imper- turbable Hobbs, as he disappeared through the doorway. Twenty minutes later, Carrington, due to the perseverance of his valet was dressed for the street, and as he passed through the lobby of the hotel he attracted a good deal of attention, as foreign visi- tors were unusual in Moscow during the period of Revolution. Besides, who would not turn to gaze, after such a good looking young man? Carrington made his way to the Soviet Embassy where were stationed the police headquarters. He was conducted by a guard through numerous halls and pas- sageways to the office of Mr. AralofF, the Minister of Police. The door was opened at a knock from the guard who saluted and announced in perfect English. “Mr. Carrington, Sir.” “Good afternoon, Mr. Carrington,” said Araloff also in English, and then to the guard who waited at the open door, “You are dismissed, Svensky.” “Now, Mr. Carrington,” resumed Ara- lolT, “I supj ose you are wondering why I. the Minister of Police, have summoned you. a total stranger, here before me.” “Yes, Sir,” replied Carrington who really was too much surprised to say more. “Well,” said Araloff, “since you have been here, I have looked into your past history, somewhat, for various reasons, of which I shall inform you, so that you are not such a total stranger, to me at least, as you think. But, l)efore saying more about that, I wish to tell you a few of the incidents of the revolutionary out- break which occurred some four or five weeks ago. 1928 THE TECH “As you have doubtless heard,” he con- tinued, “the royal castle during this out- break was bombarded and the Czar and Czarina were killed. It was thought, at the time that the daughters of the Czar were killed also, but, due to my efforts, the youngest, the Princess Yvonne es- caped death. I am telling you this, Sir, at risk of my own life for if it were dis- covered 1 would be hanged as a traitor to the country. I cannot explain to you my motives for this act except that, as a child, the Princess Yvonne was always my friend. Of course, since the revolu- tion, our friendship was estranged as I, remaining faithful to the country worked for the downfall of the Czar. Neverthe- less, I could not bear to see her killed as the rest and 1 managed to conduct her to a place of safety. How long she is to remain safe is what I have summoned you to discuss.” Carrington, by this time thoroughly mystified by Araloff’s story answered not a word but waited for him to go on. Araloff paused to wipe the perspira- tion from bis brow. He was wishing per- haps that he had not trusted this young man so fully as to thus risk a life so val- uable as his own, for he was somewhat of an egotist. He was a short, stout man of about sixty years and having been Minister of Police of Russia for thirty years or more, considered himself an in- dispensable factor in the government. “Well,” resumed Araloff, “the only |X)ssible way for the Princess to leave the country safely will be through disguise. Furthermore, if she is the wife of a for- eigner, certain complications which would arise otherwise, will be avoided. As you doubtless know, the laws of the country have suffered during this period as well as everything else. It is almost impos- sible to enforce them and some have been REVIEW 69 changed beyond recognition. It is even possible for you to be married now with- out the intervention of the law. You have merely to say, “I take this woman to be my wife and—” “1 have to say what?” cried Carrington. “Just a moment, my dear Mr. Carring- ton,” said Araloff, “if you say, “I take this woman to be my wife, you are con- sidered legally married and—” “But I’m not going to be married,” again interrupted Carrington. “If you’ll kindly listen,” Araloff was becoming impatient, “you will become thoroughly acquainted with my plan which is to have you marry the Princess so as to aid in her escape to France. As, under this new regime one may be divorced as easily as one is married, this marriage will in no way affect your later life. As 1 have already mentioned, I have made a few inquiries concerning you and I feel quite safe in trusting the Princess to you although but for one day.” “But, when am I to marry her?” asked the bewildered Carrington. “If you agree to the plan, come at nine tomorrow morning. Sir. She will be here and I feel sure that we shall ex- perience no difficulties in securing pass- ports and vises for her journey to France. Just before her departure, you shall be divorced and your married life will be over. That is all 1 wished to sav, Sir.” “All, I should say that was enough,” said Carrington. “Well, good afternoon, Mr. Araloff, I’ll be here in the morning to be married.” Carrington, after leaving the Embassy building, made his way back to the hotel and startled the faithful Hobbs by an- nouncing. “W ell, Hobbs, I’ll never again say that this place isn’t exciting. Here I am to be married at nine o’clock tomor- row morning.” 70 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 “Married, Sir, did you say married?” asked Hobbs. “My eye!” “Yes, Hobbs, married, to rescue the fairy princess you know. Say, did you ever read any fairy stories?” “Yes, Sir, when I was a boy, Sir.” “I was just wondering,” said Carring- ton. “you don’t look as if you ever had.” The next morning, Carrington awoke unusually early and was about to turn over for another nap when lie suddenly remembered the events of the proceeding afternoon. He jumped from the bed and dressed quickly. After eating a hurried breakfast, he hastened to the Embassy and was conducted by the guard Svensky, to the Police headquarters where be was greeted warmly by Araloff and was told that the Princess would arrive immedi- ately. Araloff left the room to return in five minutes with a young lady. She was of medium height, very shabbily dressed, and wore a heavy veil which completely concealed her face. Upon entering the room, however, she removed the veil and Carrington was suddenly confronted by the loveliest girl he had ever seen. “Yvonne,” said Araloff, “this is Mr. Carrington, your future husband.” Yvonne, coloring slightly, offered her hand to Carrington and said, a delicious foreign tinge to the. words, “How do you do, Mr. Carrington, I thank you so much for aiding me in this difficult situation.” Her voice was low, but clear and there was a wistful expression in her gray eyes which immediately made Carrington her slave. “I think, Mr. Carrington,” said Ara- loff, “that the sooner this wedding is over, the more comfortable it will make everybody concerned. I believe we are ready, Sir.” Carrington swallowed hurriedly and looked at the Princess. She was breath- ing quickly, but otherwise was perfectly calm. “Ready, Sir,” snapped Araloff. Carrington said the required words and uttered a sigh of relief. Without further conversation, the newly married couple left the building and entered a carriage which was waiting to take them to the station. From Moscow, they were to travel to the border town of I ami urg whence Yvonne was to journey alone to France. Little was said as they traveled toward Pctrograd where they were to stop before going on to Jamburg. As they left Moscow, the road became rougher and frequently Yvonne was jostled against Carrington’s side. “Do you think we shall reach Petro- grad in time for the train?” she timidly asked. “I believe so, that is, if he doesn’t bump us to death before we get half way there. The road is growing rougher,” he continued, “I think if you will take hold of my arm you will avoid many hard bumps.” “Thank you,” she said simply and mov- ing nearer, she put her hand through his arm, which act caused his heart to thump madly. “You have been very good to me,” she continued, “what trouble I have made for you.” “It has been no trouble,” he stammered. Then, as the carriage gave two or three wild plunges, he and she. were thrown to one side of the seat. Then followed such a creaking and chattering that conversa- tion was made impossible. When they did speak, it was with the mouth of one close to the ear of the other. At such times, her breath on his cheek and her sweet clear voice close to his ear created in him a mad longing to take her in his arms. However, he had to be satisfied in placing his hand encouragingly over 1928 the little one that was thrust through his arm. As his hand clasped hers, it trembled slightly, but after a moment it rested calmly beneath his. As they neared the city of Petrograd the road became smoother. “I think,” said Carrington, “that we shall have your baggage checked immedi- ately and then we shall go to lunch.” As they drew up before the station, Carrington climbed out and aided Yvonne to alight from the carriage. After having the baggage checked, they hurried to a small restaurant on an out of the way street and had lunch after which it was time to return to the station as the train bound for Jamburg was due. When finally it pulled in at the station, Carrington and Yvonne climbed aboard and settled themselves comfortably. In about an hour they would reach the small l)order town and he would say goodbye to her forever. A feeling of depression seized him at the thought. The train rattled on, and the remainder of the trip was made in utter silence. At length, they pulled in at the small railway sta- tion at Jamburg. After having settled with some difficulty details concering Yvonne’s passports to France, Carring- ton accompanied her to the train. Here, he hurriedly said the words which sep- arated their lives and which he had de- layed until the last possible moment. They hurried to the sleeping car and stood at the foot of the steps saying goodbye. As the time for departure drew near, the trainmen hurried belated passengers to the cars. “Perhaps, you had better get in the car,” he said and assisted her up the steps. “And now, we must say goodbye,” she said and stretched forth her hand to Car- rington who held it tightly. Then, as the 71 last “All aboard” was called by the im- patient trainman, he swung up onto the step below her. “Goodbye,” he said, “I hope that we may meet again.” Then, her eyes wavering beneath his glance she said softly, so softly that he scarcely heard the words, “I pray that we may meet again.” The train moved slowly and in order to escape being injured, Carrington drop- ped to the station platform and watched the train until a bend in the road hid it from view. The journey back to Moscow proved dreary to him. Upon reaching the hotel he sent a telegram to his Aunt Belle in France. His mother and father had died when he was a child and since their death his Aunt Belle had been his closest friend and con- fidante. The following is the message he sent. Dear Aunt Belle. Have been married and divorced in one day. A ripping Russian Princess. Tell you about it in letter following. Love, Syd. Carrington continued his work, think- ing frequently of the lovely Yvonne and determining that as soon as he was free to do so, he would search for her and declare to her his love. However, a year passed before he was allowed to leave the country of Rus- sia. When permission was granted, he sent another hurried telegram to his aunt who was visiting on the Riviera in France stating that he would be with her before the end of the week. In a few days he arrived in France and on the day of his arrival on the Riviera, he hurried to his aunt’s apartment. In answer to his ring, the door was opened by a trim looking THE TECH REVIEW 72 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 maid. Carrington glanced at her casually as the door swung open and then uttered an exclamation of joy and astonishment. “Yvonne!” “You,” she cried, “ you, Mr. Carring- ton. “Yes.” he said. “1 am Sydney Carring- ton, but how came you here?” “Hush!” she whispered. 1 shall explain to you later. Your aunt is expecting you now and you had better go to her.” Without a word he allowed her to con- duct him to his aunt’s rooms. “Well, Aunt Belle,” he exclaimed after affectionately kissing her. “It certainly is great to see you again.” She kept him an hour or more asking questions concerning his experience in Russia. Never was Carrington more im- patient to be gone, and he almost uttered a whoop of joy when she released him saying that she had to see that the cook did not spoil the dinner. Two hours later, Sydney was dining with his aunt. Shortly after dinner she retired as was her custom and nothing, not even the arrival of a beloved nephew could upset her routine. Carrington was left alone in the library. He had not seen Yvonne since their hurried whispered con- versation earlier in the afternoon. At the sound of a light footstep, he turned and beheld her in the doorway. She had come to the library to find a book which his aunt wished. “Yvonne.” he cried.“do not keep me waiting longer, 1 must speak with you.” “Ah! but your aunt desires this l ook,” she returned mischievously, so you’ll have to wait a minute!” --------- “Who invented the hole in the dough- nut ?” “Oh, some fresh air fiend, I suppose.” Never had a minute seemed so long to Sydney Carrington. However, Yvonne presently returned. She and Sydney seat- ed themselves on the divan in front of the open fire and she proceeded to explain to him her presence in his aunt’s home. “You see, Mr. Carrington, when I—” “Sydney, please,” interrupted Carring- ton. “Well, you see, Sydney,” she said shyly, “when 1 left you at Jamburg, it was Mr. Araloff’s plan that I go immediately to some of his friends in France. This, I did, but I could not take advantage of their hospitality forever, so much against their wishes, I left them and sought em- ployment.” Yvonne was finding it difficult to talk calmly with Sydney’s eyes so intently bent upon her. “And,” she bravely resumed, “I just happened to be engaged by your aunt. That is all. “But is it all, Yvonne?” asked Carring- ton. “Before I left you at the train in Jamburg, you prayed that we might meet again and now your prayer has been an- swered. Oh, Yvonne, tell me that you meant it.” Sydney moved closer and imprisoned both her small hands in his “You know, darling, that if 1 had not found you here I should have searched the country until I found you. Her eyes met the masterful ones above, but after a minute were lowered in sur- render. “Yvonne,” he whispered, “say that you love me.” “Oh! Sydney, you know.” she cried and bid her flushed face on his shoulder. Harry Huntington: “I have an idea.” “Dot” Houston: “Be good to it.

There were seven of us gathered before the fire to talk things over and have a good time. Suddenly Abe, the oldest inhabitant of the village, broke the silence. “This whole gosh dern place is over- run with them consarn animals now,” said he, “but I kin remember the time when there wasn’t a one o’ th’ good fer nothin’ critters, an’ ’twas all due to Egbert. Eg- bert was a big black Tom cat. and was owned by my old pal. Zcb Grant. I re- member the first time I saw Egbert as if it was yisterday. “Me’n Zeb was huntin’ fer patridge in back o’ his house, when we herd this pit- iful cryin’ off to our left. Wal, we looked to see what it was, an’ found this big black cat in a trap with his left forepaw nearly chawed off. Wal, we got the cat out o’ the trap, and took him to Zeb’s house, where we soon discovered that there was little hope for recovery, but Zeb’s kids pleaded so dog gone hard that Zcb an’ me done the bes’ job we could at cuttin’ off th’ foot an’ givin’ first aid. “Wal. in ’bout a month, thet cat was as well as ever ’ceptin’ lie had a hard time hobblin’ around on three feet; so one dav, Zeb’s boy, Joe, thought up the bright idee of makin’ a wooden foot for the poor cat. Now Zeb wasn’t much of a carpenter but he done his best an’ succeeded purty good. “Now thet Egbert had a wooden foot, you’d think everybody would a bin sat- isfied, but after ’bout a week. Joe found out thet Egbert couldn’t ketch squirrels or rats, ’cause ever’time he’d get ready to spring on ’em, thet wooden foot would hit somethin’ an’ make a noise, so what did Joe do but go over to Mrs. Brown’s, who had a baby, an ask to borrow the rub- ber top to a nursin’ bottle. Wal. after he put this on Egbert’s wooden foot, everything was all hunky dory, ’cause the rubber muffled the sound. “Now whatdvcr suppose thet cat did? Why, he’d ketch squirrels or rats, an in- stead of killin’ ’em the way other cats did. he’d hold ’em with his right paw, an’ brain ’em with the wooden foot. He got so good at it thet he killed more rats than cny ten of the neighlxjrhood cats put to- gether. But still thet cat had a longin t’ kill even more, so what did he do but deliberately put his good paws, otic after the other, in three mink traps thet Zeb had stored in the barn, so he had to have wooden feet for all four legs. “Wal, thet cat sure did kill rats right an left an ’twasn’t an uncommon thing t’ sec him jump plumb in the middle of a bunch of rats and kill one with each foot. He killed so many rats thet there wasn’t cny more to kill, an’ this proved to be his undoin’, fer, as he had t’liave some amusement, lie took t’ sailin.’ “He’d walk out on the lake near the house, stick his tail in the air, an go sailin along on his wooden feet as nice as you please. “Wal. one day, Egbert was enjoyin’ himself in this way, when a storm broke suddenly, and kicked up a bit of a sea. Wal, o’ course Egbert couldn’t sink be- cause o’ his wooden feet, but the waves got so high thet he capsized. Now, any other animal would a been able t’ swim 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 75 but Egbert’s wooden feet insisted on float- son in the village attended his funeral an’ in’ an’ bis head, being made o' different y’ never herd sich weepin’ in all yer life, material, insisted on sinkin; so poor Eg- Yes, sir.

Hussey, ’29 While rummaging one dull, rainy day up in the attic, in hoj e that I should find some trinket or book that 1 hadn’t noticed before, I found in among some essays and note books, some letters. They were written in a childish scrawl and addressed to someone who, after a little thought, 1 decided must have been my great uncle George. The paper was yellow and the ink faded. The creases were worn from having been folded again and again. I sat down on the nearest trunk and read them, while the rain pattered cozily on the roof, until it became too dark to dis- cern the letters. They had evidently been written by my father when he was a little boy to his uncle and namesake “Uncle George.” 1 thought as I read them they were too good to keep to myself and so 1 have copied the most interesting ones for you to read. May 15 Monday Dear Uncle George, I am up in bed writin to you an its oncy 6 oclock. It was like this. This after- noon mom called me in an sed I hat to go over to Miss Kenedeys with some durn recepe or sumthin so I did. Well I got over there an lo an behole she was all drest up an looked swell for her her being 40 an kinda skinny. She sed thank you for the recepe andid I wunt eny cookies an a nice glast of lemonade. 1 told her, yes ma’am thank you kindly ma’am, I didint ferget my manners not one whit. She must a been expecting comjxuiy cause she was all dolled up an had stuff to eat and flowers in the vase. She went to get the eats an everything was perfect so far as I was concern sept I didint know what to do with my gum, cause I can’t eat and chew to the same time, so I put it on the arm of the chair ware 1 wooden ferget it. Well 1 bed the cats an then went home. I kinda like Miss Kenedy, her having a cat an two kittens not count in the one she gave me. Its under the close with me now, purrin contented like, me giving it halft my milk for supper. Mom don’t know I got it, I ain’t dast tell her yet, her bein kinda mad any how cause a while ago Miss Kenedy came over red in the face an ast to see thet boy, an she talked an sniffed an blowed a while an finally she sed something about gum an then an there 1 decided to kinda skip over my back fenct into Billys yard, but mom thought differ- ent I guess cause she grabbed me. An Miss Kencdv went on about, He’ll never call again now, she sed, him getting all over gum, she sed, an me trying to get him for 6 solid y—oh I mean—I mean— an mom looked at me severe like an hur- ried Miss Kenedy out an sent me to bed double quick time. Afterwoods she came up an I ast her could I write to you an she said yes an when she went out I herd a little noise at sounded like a snicker to me. Well good by Your lovin nefew George P. S. I’ll l e 10 a week from tomarrer. June fers Dear Uncle George, There’s some new people moved in on our street and mom ses there in pretty good circumstances from all the furniture she saw go in there. Well las nite the guy what belongs there came over to see my sister Marge an Marge was busy up stairs curlin her hair an putting stuff on her face so she sed 1928 THE TECH REVIEW Georgie you go on down an intertane Mr. Drinkwater. Drinkwater! What a funny name I yells out an she quick tole me to shut up an do as she sed so 1 did. When I came in he got up outen the chair all smily an rosy. I guess lie thought L was Marge at first. Then he looks at me an ses Ah you mus be the little Georgie I’ve heard so much about. An I sed yes sir wats your name an he sed Benjamin Drinkwater an I sed thats a mouthful awright aint it an 1 tole him 1 had a rabbit named Benny onct. My sisters got a crush on you 1 guess, I sed, cause she never spent so much time dollin up for no one man before. She sed she’d like you even better if you want quite so bow legged. An then I quick remembered that want ezackly bein polite an told him kinda liked bow legs myself. Pretty soon Marge came down an her an Benny went out on the poarch an set in the swing. I wen out to an finally Benny gave me a dime to go buy some candy an take my time. Afterwoods 1 came back an set in the livin room window where it was nice an cool an quiet an then 1 remembered they were out on the poarch an I could see them right under my nose. Well they was just talkin an swinging an sitting there. Say what does a guy see in hang- ing around a girl all evening—gosh darn if I know. There silly! Well anyhow I kinda sat there musin, when suddenly I saw something that made me say, Clinch! Well I never incut to say it, it just came out. I guess Marge was kinda mad cause the next day she wooden hardely speak to me an told mom something had to be done with that boy! Benny has a swell lookin sister with curly hair an a little dog but I ain’t inter- 77 ested in gurls a tall. I’ll write again soon. Love, George P. S.—Mom sed for me to tell you thanks for the swell birthday present. June 18, Sunday Dear Uncle George, Oh boy school will soon be over an then wunt I hev fun. Us fellers have already planned what we are goin to do. Per one thing we’ve got a swell club started an I'm president. We’ve got a pretty neet club houst too. Its got two rooms an a oil lamp an a ole cake box for things to eat an a secret passage under the floor which is wooden. We didn’t build it all ourselves. Most of it was al- ready built by some fellers oldern as what we are, but we painted it green an tarpa- pered it an fixt it to suit ourselves. Its right up against a tree which has a orning attached onto it an is over the door an you can pull a string an it goes up an down, the orning I mean. We hev a mat in front of the door an a rain spout an a trough for the rain water to go in so it wunt leek into the hut on rainy days. Most every staturday night we buy hot dogs an can beans an hev supper up there. Its dandy and cool in the grass, nevery- thing. We hev another kitten now an we take turns keeping it over sundeys. Today it was my turn an mom sed she lied nough to do thout takin care of that ole cat so I kep him up in my room for a wile, but he jumped on the table an knocked over the lamp an broke the chimbly an spilt the oil, so I let him out an after a while mom found him on the kitchen table eatin the samon we was goin to hev fer a sal- ade, an mom sed she want going to eat after any cat, an after, jus for spite I bet, he broke her blue-green vase. But termorrows Monday an he is so cunnin an fuzzy. 8 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Can you beat it? I most forgot to tell you. A (jurl is commin to visite us for a whole month. You know, her mother wen to school with my mother. Her ¥ name is Dorethea.

Well this is a strictly lx ys club, but what can you do. We couldn’t fine the press any wares so we hat to eniciate her. Well after, she says if we wunted the press to follcr her so we did an it was oncy behind the council in the livin room. Well we was dumfounded. We hed looked in the actic and down cellar an cvcryivarc sept behine that council!

Jones ’28 A cuckoo in a clock on the wall cuckoed eleven times, and then exhausted by its efforts returned to the innermost corner of its domicile to rest for another hour. A mass of bed clothes heaved as a thatch of brown hair emerged therefrom. A door opened and closed admitting an immaculately clad valet who strode re- solutely toward the bed with a light of battle in his eye. He sighed as he pulled the bedclothes hack; his daily troubles were about to begin. He seized the sleep- er’s shoulders and shook them forceably. The recipient of these ministrations opened one eye and muttered unintelligi- bly. At the opening of the eye, Eustace, the valet assumed that professional at- titude of aloof indifference and before the sleeper had time to utter further re- marks he began in the tone of a judge sentencing a prisioner. “Sorry Sir to disturb you, but your uncle, so he in- formed me, wishes your presence before he starts on his round of golf.” This announcement was met with an- other grunt which might have meant anything. Neverless, the accused having received his judgment slowly disentang- led himself from the remaining bed- clothes and laboriously rose to his feet. Eustace with a steadying hand led the sentenced one through a door into a bath- room and then returned to the bedroom listening to the sounds of splashing water. I will not attempt, at this time to dis- cribe the splasher for a man is never at his best upon rising. However bis name is Wilbur Ogden Merryweather. His uncle, with whom he lived called him Will. His aunt called him Ogden, the servants called him Mr. Wilbur and what the store boy called him is unprintable. We shall leave Wilbur in his bath and opening the door, the one Eustace came in, pass down the richly furnished hall to an- other door, open it, and walk in. The room is handsomely furnished and identi- fies itself as a library by the rows of books that fill the many shelves. A man is seated at a desk; he has a cigar clenched between his teeth; his iron grey hair falls across his temples; his face speaks charac- ter and determiniation and his qigars speaks money as he suddenly reaches for a fresh one and glares at the partly smok- ed one which he throws away. Sherlock Holmes .and possibly even Dr. Watson had they been present would have de- ducted that he had something on his mind. He was on his sixth cigar when Wilbur, still in the custardy of Eustace entered. The smoker glanced up and dismissed Eustace who was hovering expectantly in the offing. “Morning Uncle Charley,” said Wil- bur dejectedly. “Hullo Will, sit down,” Will did so. The sixth cigar wilted under Uncle Charlies steady glare as it was dropped into the ash tray with its brothers only to be replaced by the seventh. Soon the eighth followed. It was as if Wilbur was in for a long distance cigar glaring exhibition as neither spoke. Wilbur how- ever was satisfied. Eustace was not there to hound him. With this happy thought in mind he skillfully snapped a crumb of his breakfast toast from his lapel with his fingers. I always try to be fair and I think this is a fair time to describe my bero. A girl, I think might characterize him with that simple word “nice but I should 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 83 say from casual observation simply that he looked like a “good scout.” His fea- tures conveyed no great impression of superior intelligence, but his face radi- ated enough good will and honesty to re- deem any deficiency. Finally Wilbur’s companion broke the silence. “Well, Will, you’re twenty-one today.” Wilbur partly breaking from his re- verie murmered affirmatively. “According to your father’s will.” re- sumed his companion “the huge fortune which was left in my care, when lie died, is now in your name. Here are the bank books. I feel that I have carried out your fathers intentions completely. Especially that peculiar clause which forbids your association with girls.” Wilbur interjected emphatically.“Yes.” Futile attempts to escape his uncle’s watchful eye were still vivid in his memory. “But these are all things of the past. Now, you are free to come and go as you please. You are to live your life. You and only you are to determine whether you will he a success or a failure.” This bust of eloquence was evidently too much for Uncle Charley, as he bound- ed from his chair sized his golf hag in one hand and a half a dozen cigars in the other, and stormed out of the room leav- ing the door, wide open. During this hit of action and its preceeding oration, Wil- bur had been frantically searching his pockets for his address hook. Who was the person who wrote the poem that begins, “Backward oh back- ward time in your flight?” It really dosen’t matter hut simply apply the prin- ciple and hack time up to the previous day when Wilbur in driving his car through the city, quite by accident knocked down a girl who carelessly stepped from be- hind a car parked at the curb. She was up in a minute and firmly declined Wil- bur’s ofTer to take her to a doctor and merely asked to he taken home. 1 lowever inexperienced Wilbur was, lie had learned his lesson early and knew it was useless to try to argue with a woman. During the ride home, neither felt much like talking, hut Wilbur did learn his fair companion’s name to he Beverly Mason and that she lived an Wheeler St., 291 to he exact. Af- ter delivering his charge, Wilbur returned home and reported the incident to his uncle who wrote a substantial check— which by the way he received hack in the next mail—gave it to Eustace for delivery and considered the matter closed. Not so Wilbur however, the twinkle in Miss Mason’s eyes, her spirited manner and the charm, the fresh bloom of youth in her checks kept her in his memory and aside from the fact that lie desired to see her and find out how she was the visit prom- ised to he an interesting one. The dust had hardly settled from Uncle Charlies retreat before Wilbur was off narrowly averting a collision with Eustace who was returning from Wilburs room with a tray of used dishes, and nearly upsetting the housekeeper, who had a weak heart, in his burst of speed down the stairs. Out of the door he went and into his roadster. Surely we say this is not the Wilbur Merry weather of our acquaintance slow, lazy and carefree hut a new Wilbur Merry weather resolute, wide awake and full of pep. He was doomed to disappointment however for at 291 which proved to he a hoarding house he learned from the landlady that Miss Mason was not in hut could he found at the Cosmopolitan Hotel where she worked. Whereupon Wilbur turned his car toward the metropolis and the Cos- mopolitan. We shall now shift the scene of action to the lobby of the hotel. There are in 84 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 one corner two telephone operators who occationally find time to look up from their magazines long enough to give a number. Through the revolving doors streams of people move in and out. Bell hops are numerous and in various stages of activity. In other words, everything at the Cosmopolitan on this day was rim- ing smoothly. The grill work door which stood in front of the elevator shaft slid open and out stepped a very attractive young lady, attractive does not do he: justice, striking is much better. A little above average height with her smooth fair skin, serious little mouth and rebel- lious brown hair she attracted no little at- tention as she walked across the lobby and dropped the letter that she held in her hand into a mail box. She turned to walk back to the elevator just as Wilbur hove into view through one of the doors. He looked about bewilderdly and spied the object of his quest just as she was about to reenter the elevator. Wilbur did a Charlie Paddock across the lobby and suc- ceeded in getting in just before the fair occupant shut the door. Wilbur spoke first more or less puffingly. “Why 1 thought you’d be resting up today after yesterdays mishap.” She replied carelessly. “Oh I was only shaken up a bit I feel as well as ever now.” She had meanwhile started the elevator, an automatic one by pressing a button on the side. “Where are you bound for. if I may ask,” she inquired of Wilbur. “Well,” he replied coloring slightly “I came to see if you had recovered. I went to your home first but the landlady told me that you could be found here,” he added noticing her questioning glance.” She also told me that your work was over about this time so I thought you might consent to let me take you home. “You came just in time I’ve finished posting my last letter I’ll get my coat and hat and we can go.” Just then the elevator slowed up and then stopped right between two lloors. “I didn’t do that,” she exclaimed as she pressed the buttons again and again. Wilbur felt that he ought to say some- thing so he murmured, “We’ve stopped.” His reply was concise and to the point “Yes”. Then a voice from below hailed them. “Say.” it said “the motor down here is busted, you’ll have to stay where you are till I get it fixed. With that the unknown speaker con- cluded and then from below came sounds of an energetically wielded hammer. “My goodness,” exclaimed Wilbur’s companion “this is terrible.” “Yes.” agreed Wilbur sympathetically “and the parking limit for my car is half an hour.” “Well,” exclaimed his companion, with emphasis on the coulds “if that’s the way you feel about it. I suppose we could open the door and you could manage to squeeze by. The drop is only about a hundred and fifty feet, hut you could get to your car and move it,” dryly. “Oh! no no no. Don’t bother. “Well I suppose we’ll just have to make the best of it,” she said. “Yes,” responded broadminded Wilbur. Then ensued a silence. Wilbur’s eyes seemed attracted to his companion while she seemed lost in her own reflections. Finally she broke the silence exclaiming. “I know what we can do, to pass the time away, we’ll tell each other about ourselves I’ll go first.” “Fine,” responded Wilbur “let’s go.” “Well,” she began “my name you already know, but my friends call me Billy. My parents are both dead and I live with my brother Irving at our rooms at Mrs. Standish’s.” 1928 THE TECH Here Wilbur interrupted. “Say is Irv. Mason your brother, why we went to high school together.” “Indeed,” she responded, “and I hope you didn’t flunk out with him too.” “O no I contrived to graduate. That is in time.” “Where was 1. Oh yes, I was going to tell you that I work here as a companion to Mrs. Wilson the millionaire widow. It’s not a bad job, that is when she is feeling good. There that’s all,” she exclaimed brightly. “I’m not such a very mysterious person, am 1 ? It's your turn now,” she added. “Oh no.” responded Wilbur “it wouldn’t be interesting.” “Yes it would, come on now.” “No.” “Yes!—Say is this a duet.” “Yes-er I mean no.” “All right then go ahead.” “Well” hesitated Wilbur “er I was l orn—.” “Really,” with a twinkle. Starting on a new tack. “In School they used to call me “Squash”.” “That’s interesting, don’t stop.” Warming up. “My parents are both dead too and before I moved here 1 used to live in Pittsburg, and that’s all I can think of he concluded lamely. “Why! I was just really interested when you stopped. There must be more. Where do you live and what do you do?” “I live with my uncle.” “All right, and what do you do.” “Why I just live with him.” “No, no, what do you do, where do you work.” “Oh I sec what you mean. I don’t work.” “What! Do you a perfectly strong healthy man, mean to say that you don’t work ? That you live on your uncle ? That you reap the harvest of the money that REVIEW 85 he earns by the sweat of his brow?” “He doesn’t sweat getting it,” was the best Wilbur could do. He couldn’t im- agine Uncle Charlie sweating over any- thing but a golf game. “Just the same,” returned his com- panion heatedly “for any man who is so lazy, who has so little ambition that he prefers to sponge on a relative rather that support himself I have no respect. Who do you think you are anyway, John I). Rockerfellcr? I suppose your Uncle bought that car of yours too.” “Well, if I knew where to get a job,” responded Wilbur weakly. “If I really thought you meant that,” she responded dubiously. “I think I know where you could get one.” “Honest I do mean it, that is if I could come and see you once in a while,” eag- erly. “Oh I suppose that would be necessary. You would need someone to keep you straight, I suppose. “Done then,” said Wilbur. “Where do I go to get the job.” She wrote rapidly on a page of Wil- bur’s address book and had hardly handed it back to him when the voice hailed them again from below. “Hi, there,” it said, “the motor’s OK now try it.” Wilbur did, the elevator moved. Sud- denly coming abreast of an exit Wilbur’s companion pressed the button and the elevator stopped. “This is my floor,” she exclaimed as she swung oj en the door and stepped out. “You needn’t wait to take me home,” she added. “Oh yes,” he remonstrated “I can wait.” “Such a man,” she replied “I said no, now go see about that job.” “You are a better man than I am Gunga Din,” murmured Wilbur as he re- luctantly shut the door and started the 86 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 elevator downward. The next morning, upon coming to work Beverly found a note awaiting her. With eager fingers she tore it open. It was from Wilbur, it ran. Dear Beverly: I got the job all right and am working hard so I wont have time to write more but will see you Saturday night and tell you all about it. Your friend, Wilbur M. She read with eager eyes and all that day went about her work with unusual zest. Saturday night came at last as Saturday nights have a habit of doing and Wilbur kept his word. Promptly at 8:15, he pressed the door hell button at Mrs. Standish’s was admitted and warmly greeted. Me told Beverly all about this new job, looked into her eyes more than once and received some valuable informa- tion on thrift. Saturday night followed Saturday night and Wilbur was no more a stranger at Wheeler St. He called her “Billy” now and Saturday nights were not the only times he saw her. On one particular night they were re- turning from a theatre. The summer night was warm and the roadster top was down allowing the breeze to fan their flushed faces. Strangely enough the car found its way to the park where it drew up to one of the lakes and stopped with its lights dimmed. There was romance in In the Melting Pot: “Next.” Who, me?” “Born?” “Yes, sir.” “Where?” “Russia.” “What part?” “All of me.” “Why did you leave Russia?” “I couldn’t bring it with me.” “Where were your forefathers horn?” “I only got one father.” “Your business?” “Rotten!” “Where is Washington?” “He’s dead.” the air. A full moon shone down on two majestic swans as they proudly swam along. '1'he moonlight was reflected as the gentle breeze made little riplets on the lake. Both sat in silence admiring the beauty of the scene before them. Then slowly Wilbur’s arm crept along the back of the seat until his finger tips just touched his companion’s shoulder. She did not move away but seemed to relax and sway nearer. Both looked straight ahead. Wil- bur's heart was heating double time. Sud- den he whispered nervously, “Billy there’s somethink I’ve had on my mind. Some- thing I want to tell you. Something I want to ask you.” Why go any further I may he heartless in leaving them here, 1 am quite aware but all these sorts of things end in the same way, so why should 1 tell yru som- thing that you already know? If this were a moving picture the final sub-title, I think that is what they call them would probably read somewhat like this. “And thus with two hearts heating as one they strode hand in hand down the pathway of Life each shar- ing, loving and forgiving, until the end.” However this is not a moving picture and what is more it never will he, so with perfect frankness I shall simply say, “They lived happily ever after.” “I mean the capital of the United States?” “They loaned it all to Europe.” “Now, do you promise to support the constitution ?” “Me? How can 1? I’ve got a wife and six children to support.” Did you hear about the Scotchman who fried his bacon in Lux to keep it from shrinking? 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 87 88 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Through a College Window Jerome Forman, ’29 “Coming to the show?” demanded Thomas Waite—better known as Tom— as he rushed into his room at the dormi- tory. His room-mate slowly looking up from his pile of hooks, muttered “No,” and then resumed his studying. Tom, disgusted, sat down on his heel. “Say, what’s got into you lately, Bill? All you’ve been doing for the last two weeks is study, study, study. What are you trying to do—get a hundred in all your classes? Bill, no doubt, was used to this talk, for he continued studying, through the speech. When, however, Tom had finished, he took time to say, “Don’t forget mid-year ‘exams’ start tomorrow.” “Ah ! 1 know that only too well,” sighed Tom, “but what about the show?” Bill now sat up and leaned hack in his chair. “Every day you’ve been flunking class work. You’ll never pass the ‘exams’ if you don't study tonight. Now, don’t wake up too late—study now! Don’t for- get what Franklin said: ‘Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today’.” “Oh hang Franklin!” exclaimed Tom, and continued laughing, “That saying was all right in his day, hut now it goes: ‘Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow just as well’.” Nevertheless, he took his hooks and l e- gan to study—or at least he made a great effort to do so. He became dazed—well not exactly dazed, hut he was really think- ing hard, and thinking dazed him. “Let’s see, there’s a history ‘exam’ to- morrow. Now was the battle of Mara- thon 490 B. C. or 490 A. D. ? Oh yes! Whom did the first Triumvirate consist of? And—Oh! What a good show I’m missing!” Bill broke the silence. “Who was the runner at the battle of Marathon ?” Tom, half to himself and half out loud, murmured, “Oh, Lon Chaney's play—” “No.” quickly responded Bill, “It was Phidippides. Who was Phideas?” This question brought Tom hack to reality, and with “Oh dry up,” he again tried to study. His memory retained several interesting things, such as: Han- nibal was the greatest Roman General that ever lived and Alexander the Great was a great Grecian King. His com- mon sense and history had no authority in these matters. Tom knew that they were correct—why, he could remember just as plainly as day, reading them. He had information of many events of his- tory in his mind, so that he could write something about them, even though his facts might surprise his professor. The following day was bright and clear. As usual, Bill was up first, but Tom was close behind him—an unusual occurrence. There was the regular hurrying in wash- ing and dressing. Bill, perhaps, was a little more quiet than usual; he always was just before an “exam.” But Tom, on the other hand, was just as active as ever. I f he passed the “exam,” he passed —if he flunked, well, he would have done his best anyway. Within an hour, both hoys were in their classrooms. At first, the professor gave the usual lecture on the wrongs and dis- advantages of cheating. Finally the “exam” began. Bill found it easy, and working at a 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 89 rapid rate, was among the first to leave the room. Tom found it more difficult. He an- swered the first question fairly satisfac- torily. The second one had him guessing —at one time, tossing up a coin to decide whether Pindur was a Roman god or a painter, lie finally wrote the latter. As it happened Pindur was a Greek j)oct. hut Tom did not learn that until later. There were ten questions on the “exam.” Tom toiled through the first nine. Finally, he was confronted with the tenth one. This had two parts to it. He scrib- bled a short paragraph of long words, which, he hoped would serve as an answer to the first part of the question. Now, he read the second part: “Who did more for the world, Alexander the Great or Hannibal?” For fully fifteen minutes, he argued with himself. First he thought Alexander, then he thought Hannibal; and finally, lie came to no conclusion. Tom glanced at the paper of the hoy at his left. This hoy apparently thought Alex- ander was the greater. He discovered that the hoys at his right, in hack, and in front of him gave Hannibal the credit. Toni had never cheated before, not be- cause he was a naturally good hoy, hut cheating had never appealed to him. More- over. he had never considered the exams” important enough to cheat for. While he was looking at the “exams” about him, HEARD IN DOMESTIC ART Sigrid Carlson (looking through her box, in her hooks, and in various bags) : “Say. can anyone tell me where Agnes Mulholland went?” Wilma: What’s worse than raining cats and dogs?” Martha: “Pll bite.” Wilma: “Hailing taxi cabs.” he had not realized that he was cheating. While, however, looking at the paper of the boy at his right, he met his icy stare. Blushing, realizing what he was doing. Tom turned toward his own j)aper. Now, he could not write “Hannibal,” yet it would he foolish to write “Alexander,” when ]X pular opinion was against that answer. Finally, he came to a conclusion. Smiling, he wrote, “I don’t know the an- swer, hut the general opinion of those k about me is that Hannibal gave more to the world.” After looking with satisfaction over the “exam”, especially the last question, Tom left the room. The rest of the week was taken up in other “exams.” At the end of the week, Tom, owing to Bill’s continual urgings, felt that he had passed fairly well al- though he had not learned how well. One week from the history “exam,” the papers were passed hack. Tom sol- emnly looked his over. Suddenly he smiled—a nice broad smile. It was not the seventy-three per cent at the top of his paper that made him smile; nor was it the large cross through the whole last question that made him smile. It was what was written under the cross: The general opinion of those about you was wrong—Alexander gave more to the world.” Flossy Ward: “Betty, can you tell me why Dot Stockwell’s chemistry recita- tions are like Quebec?” Betty: “Sure, they’re built on a bluff.” Conductor on train: “Change for Marinetta!

They were just suited to each other, some- how; they understood each other's inner- most thoughts and feelings, shared each other’s joys and sorrows. They loved each other, these two. But there, this story is about Jolie. It was Patricia’s big brother who, when Jolie was a little girl in grammar school, first called her “Jolie”. The name seemed to be created especially for her—and wasn’t it ?—and “Jolie she remained thereafter. It was on New Year’s Day that she and Patty and Patty’s big brother went to see “Peter Pan”—Oh, how glorious!— and then she went to their house for sup- per. I-ater in the evening, when they walked home with her, it was clear and cold, and snow was falling softly, silenc- ing their footsteps. When they came to her house, she kissed her playmate good- night, and Patty’s big brother said: “Good-night—Jolie.” “Jolie”—“Jolie”—what a quaint, funny name—“Jolie.” Next year, Jolie and Patricia went to high school and Patricia’s big brother went to Dartmouth. Oh, what fun it was that freshman year! Outwardly denounc- ing and snubbing the upper classmen, revelling in their own status, making new acquaintances, receiving charming notes and now and then a little algebra, Latin and English to while away the time. Soon it was Christmas time, and the boys came home from college. Jolie went down to Patricia’s on Christmas morning to exchange gifts and wish them a “Merry Xmas”—and Patricia’s big brother was there, and appeared glad to see her. He always was nice to her anyway. When they happened to he alone, he looked at her a long, long time and said softly: “You wouldn’t let me kiss you, would you, Jolie?” And she answered him pertly, “Try it and see.” So he did and Jolie slapped him full upon the face. Why what was the matter with Patricia’s big brother? Then sud- denly she realized he wasn’t “Patricia’s big brother” any more—he was Paul! So the time passed and though Jolie met many boys she always said of each, “He isn’t quite so nice as Paul.” In French class one day, she discovered what “Jolie” meant. Why. how wonder- ful—pretty! Paul thought her pretty! And so she was. Her hair was black and loosely waved, and coiled softly at the nape of her neck. Her forehead was high and smooth; her eyes were like the sea after a storm, calm and grey—with the blue just peeping through, her long black lashes hiding something in their depths. She was tall and slender and held her head a trifie higher than the other girls. She took life as it came and to all seemed jovial hearted and indifferent, except to Patricia who knew her real self; that self which her mist-grey eyes kept hidden from the rest. One day, however, she was forced to accept the fact that she had failed; did not her report show her to be deficient in four subjects? She had not taken her school work seriously; life was a lark; she would pull through somehow. They couldn’t Hunk her; others perhaps failed but failure was so remote from her! 1928 THE TE “Each dawn brings a new day, and each new day a new opportunity to begin again.” Ab! that was it. She must make a new beginning, seek a new deal and work bard to make up for lost time. So Jobe be- came a Junior and worked diligently at her studies. She was well rewarded by her report card. Wasn’t it a wonderful feeling to be really doing well? To have people say: “I knew you could do it if you really wanted to?” To feel that warm glow down in your heart, and to be proud of what you bad done ? By the time Jobe bad become a Senior, she was an accomplished musician. She played the piano with a clearness of tone, a finished technique; she carressed the keys into a movement blending with her own mood, creating an atmosphere in which she and her listeners were lost to all save the subtle melody, the thought the music conveyed. Ab! A Senior has so many things to do, so much to see, bear, read, so many places to go—why it seemed she bad never lived before. Still she continued to progress in her studies; she was an honor pupil. She made the basketball team and was the leading lady in the Senior Play. Then she graduated; and Paul graduated from Dartmouth, an honor student and a promising student of architecture. One summer evening, when the moon sailed high in the heavens, and the waves lapped gently on the shore, and the warm night air was laden with perfume wafted from flowers, now gone to sleep, Paul looked at Jolie a long, long time and said softly: “You wouldn’t let me kiss you, would you,Jobe?” And Jobe at last lifted the veiling mists H REVIEW 95 from her eyes and answered: “Try it and see.” The next year was a busy one for Jobe. She went to Simmons and bad a glorious time. She kept up her fine records in college, and made many new acquaint- ances. Paul showed marked talents as an architect and gave promise of becom- ing famous in bis chosen work. He saw Jobe as often as be could make the trip to Boston, which trips became less fre- quent as time passed. Only one thing marred her complete happiness—Patricia went to Wellesley, but they saw each other at least once a month and they ex- changed daily letters concerning the ac- tivities of their respective colleges. At the Junior Prom, Jobe met Rolf; he was dark and handsome and went to B. U. l ie had an aunt who lived in Jobe’s home town; so when the holidays came, they drove down in Jobe’s green roadster. They had a joyous time during the vaca- tion at home, she and Patty and Paul and Rolf. They got along splendidly together and made a jolly foursome, until one night when Paul took Jolie by the should- ers and said: “Is it true you care for Rolf. Jobe?” She became quite indignant and an- swered : “Well, really, Paul, you haven’t any strings on me have you?” Immediately she realized how she had hurt him but then the others came in, and she couldn’t say anything more. Later— but she had no opportunity later, and the next day she went back to college. She was a Senior now, and life was one whirl of gayeties. She felt truly sorry for the girl who could not avail herself of a college education. The studies were so interesting; she was majoring in chem- istry. She also continued to study music 96 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 and played now and then at social func- tions. Then capricious Fate intervened. The stock market had taken one of those sud- den changes, that no one who isn’t on the inside can possibly comprehend, and left Paul’s father practically penniless. What could they do! It was pretty late in Mr. Lorring’s life for him to start over again. Paul wrote and told her what they would do! He would have to forsake his architectural work and become a profes- sor, and Patricia must leave college and teach. Jolie felt very, very sorry but Paul had seemed remote from her for some time. What could she do about it ? Deep down in her heart she knew what she could do, but she dosed her heart up tight and would not look into it. One spring day she was out rid- ing in her little green roadster with Rolf beside her; the buds were bursting, the robins voicing their liquid notes and the sky was blue—so blue! They went for a long ride into the country, for Jolie wanted some early spring flowers for specimens in botany. When they were returning to the city it was dusk. As she wheeled into Tremont Street, she struck someone or something. There was no noise except the grinding of her brakes. She turned white with fear and apprehension as she stepped out of her car. Oh, that buzzing crowd! Those glaring headlights! and, there crumpled near the curbing was a man. She thought she was going to scream, she felt faint, but this was no time to faint! She had him lifted into the car and she drove him to the hospital. She left Rolf behind to answer questions. In a daze she manipu- lated the car, turned corners, obeyed traf- fic signals. Something drove her on—on —she never knew afterward how she made it, but at last she arrived. The next morning an account of the accident was in the paper, and the victim was Paul! Paul Lorring! She imme- diately called the hospital and learned he was as well as might be expected. In the afternoon, all white and trembling she went to see him. The nurse opened the door, and there he was, lying with his face away from her, his head and right arm wrapped in bandages. She went over to him. “Paul, darling!” “Jolie, is that you?”—and then—and then, he smiled. “Oh, Paul, that we should be brought together so. It’s—it’s awful! Are you badly hurt? Your drawing hand, too! Oh, forgive me, Paul, I didn’t know how much you meant to me, until, until—oh you’re splendid—splendid ! Suppose 1 had lost you—for always! But I haven’t r —I haven’t, Paul, and now that I have you I’m going to keep you forever!” Paul didn’t answer but turned his head away. Jolie checked her tears and a great sob shook her being as she asked in a low, toneless voice: “Don’t you love me any more, Paul?” He turned to her and gripped her hand. “Love you! Love you? My God, I’m starved for you, Jolie—Jolie—” As spring progressed and warm, sunny days became more numerous Paul re- gained his strength little by little and his arm began slowly to knit. The doctor said if things went along as they had been going, his arm would be as good as new again and he could draw once more. When Paul was well enough, Jolie in- sisted that he and Patricia spend a few weeks at her summer place. One day, Patricia kissed Jolie on the cheek and told her Paul was waiting out in the or- chard to say something to her. She looked like an apple blossom herself as she went to him through the trees. He slipped his 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 97 arm around her waist and smiling into her eyes told her that tilings were coming his way. “Dad—well Dad’s regained at least part of his money in an oil deal and— well that’s not all, Jolie, my drawing was selected from hundreds of others for the new library.” “Isn’t that wonderful! Why you didn’t even tell me you had submitted a plan.” “1 know, but vou see I didn’t want to disappoint you, if mine were not accepted. I knew it would be a great surprise to you if it were. It means so much to me, Jolie. I’ve really got my start now, and by keeping at it I can go far—far—” “It means so much to me too, Paul. I’m so glad. But. darling, how came you to he in Boston that—that night?” “I had come to find you, Jolie, the real you—” “Kiss me, Paul.” THE END r I 3 5 5 5 '5 5 8 1 | I 5 X 5 3 8 8 $ I 0 0 0 0 0 x0 0 jC CX C C = = 1 ‘‘EVERYTHING TO HELP YOUR GAME” BASEBALL SPORTING GOODS COLITZ HARDWARE 735 Westminster Street Providence, R.

Masses of gray clouds sullen and angry were fleeing across the frowning sky. A light fog rendered objects indistinct, and a drizzle added to the cheerless ap- pearance of the road. The distant roar of the surf heating mercilessly against aged rocks of the cliff was in tune with the howling wind shrieking through the pines that boarded the desolate highway. Scarcely diseernable under the cloak of the approaching night, a young man trudged along the muddy route. The col- lar of his coat was turned up. and his hands were hidden in the depths of his pockets. With his shoulders humped up to withstand the force of the wind, he forged forward against the buffetings of the gale. His dripping hat hung over his eyes, while his wet cloths clung to his body and impeded his progress. A gust of wind sweeping the road lifted his hat from his head, and as he dashed after the disappearing article of apparel, a shock of curly blond hair was disclosed. The hat was captured and returned to its ap- propriate place while mutterings excaped from his lips. “Whew! What a night to be out,” he exclaimed. Anger resounded in his voice. In fact, Norman Watson was lost though he did not know it. Two miles hack, instead of taking the left branch of two forking roads, he had taken the right. The left led to his destination the right led into the forest along the shore. Norman was having a difficult time. Not only was the walking tiresome hut the uncontrollable anger which surged through him multiplied his uneasiness and distress. Norman’s being there was the re- sult of one of his characteristic outbursts when lie often did things rashly, things which he strongly repented afterwards. Norman was the only son of Jeremiah Watson, the chief prohibition officer of the district. As the only child Norman had been brought up to have his own way. He was at this time close to twenty and attended the local high school where lie had attained his senior vear. Here •• the trouble began. Norman was in love. 'I'lie center of his attraction was Claire Winston. For several years they had been friends but friendship had ripened into love. As the most popular senior girl, Claire had many admirers. Roy Marsden, the captain of the football team, was Norman’s closest rival and bitter con- tention was the result. The day on which we find Norman lost on the shore road had been scheduled as a gala one for the senior class. The class social was to be held on that night. Excitement had rung through the school. That morning, meeting Claire in the cor- ridor between periods, Norman had stop- ped to speak to her. “Claire, may I take you to the social to- night?” he had asked. “I’m awfully sorry but 1 promised Roy to go with him. Immediately that ever ready anger of his flared. “You knew I wanted to take you; why did you accept him?” “Now how did you expect me to know if you didn’t ask me. You had all week you know.” At that moment, Roy himself appeared 102 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 on the scene. Norman’s deep scowl was quite a contrast to Roy’s happy smile which was only fuel for new anger. Leering at Roy he asked, “Who gave you permission to take Miss Winston to the social ?” “I beg your pardon, but 1 didn’t know you had a monopoly of .Miss Winston’s attentions.” Norman’s face turned red while his body trembled with rage. His speech failed him and his mouth opened to emit choking sounds. “You------you” “Norman Watson! Where’s your man- ners? Just for that you shan’t have even one dance tonight.” Then the bell rang and they parted to go to their classes. For the remainder of school session, anger and jealousey surged through Nor- man. Called upon to recite, he refused and when asked to make an attempt he replied rudely. The instructor resented this rudeness and Norman found himself in the principal’s office. The result was that Norman was sus| ended for a week. Various feelings surged through Nor- man’s bodv as he left the school. The desire for revenge was great. He knew that he had erred, but his pride would not permit him to apologize. All the trouble he attributed to Roy Marsden. The thought of seeing Claire, smiling and hap- py, in Roy’s company at the dance was enough to further provoke him. By the time he arrived home he had come to a dicision. 1 le would make Claire sorry for having slighted him. He would run away, go to New York and make his fortune, join the navv, or do something desjxirate. Someday, he would return a notable person and make her wish she had paid more attention to him. So ran the many thoughts through his mind. At home, he found no one. Working on the suggestion of his anger, he began to col- lect a few personal belongings and to cram them into his pockets. Then with a defiant look around him he rushed from the house. Norman had enough presence of mind left in him not to venture mount- ing a train at the local station. In such a small locality where practically every- one knew everybody else it would have been unwise to buy a ticket, especially if you knew the railroad agent. Norman decided that to walk the ten miles or so to the city was the most expedient method. There in the midst of the crowd there would be no difficulty whatever, and the chance of being traced was slight. So Norman had taken the highway with which he was little acquainted. At the cross roads, he had taken the wrong fork. Unmindful of the approaching dark- ness Norman continued his way along the uneven road. His feet were soaked; his shoes coated with mud from the soft road. From time to time Norman gave vent to his feelings by releasing mutter- ings from between his clenched teeth. Per- haps. these were not only to give way to his feelings but to keep up his courage as well. Without any explainable cause, Norman felt uncanny. In truth, the roar- ing of the surf, the weird moanings of the tree tops, and the suggestive forms of the moving objects made by the wind tossed landscape was enough to unnerve any- one. The isolated road on which Nor- man had shunted was one destitute of houses and rarely used. Norman began to feel a slight feeling of remorse for his foolhardy adventure. The thought of home and the warm meal with mother and “dad” anxiously waiting for him was the chief factor in quenching somewhat his anger. But Roy and Claire were there before him as well. No, he must go on for was he not to avenge an in- sult. As Norman continued, a car was ap- proaching from the rear. The automo- bile, running without lights and at a low 1928 speed, was driven by a swarthy, furtive appearing man. A leather jacket and a slouch hat protected him from the wind, while the side curtains prevented the rain from entering. Nightfall and the cloak of fog permitted him to see only a few feet of the road ahead and made it a dif- ficult task for him to keep the road. To Norman the approach of the car was not known until the sound of the horn caused him to turn quickly. The pattering of the rain and the howling of the wind had swept out the sounds of the approaching vehicle, so that the warning came too late. Before Norman had time to spring aside, he was struck by the car. Bright flares of intense light flashed before his eyes and the last audible sound to reach his ears were those of a cursing man. II An observer sailing along the New England Coast could not fail to note the abundant supply of small rudely built shacks which had originally been built by the “Old Salts.” who used them to store their nets and other fishing acces- osries. Some were occupied by lone fish- erman. As the years passed, the original owners of them had disappeared and the buildings had been left to decay. But twenty years after the opening of the twentieth century, a few of the more re- mote and well hidden ones were devoted to a new use. Organized gangsters found these to be excellent posts from which to ply their nefarious trade. Contraband liquors received from schooners were cached in various of these and removed under cover of night, to their final des- tinations. It was in one of these cabins just de- scribed that Norman regained his senses. Minutes passed before lie could get his bearings. His mind was in a maze and his brains refused to work. Everything was topsy-turvy and the rude bed on which he lay seemed to be swaying in un- 103 earthly motions. As full consciousness was restored and his mind became clear- er. a realization of what had happened came to him. Where was he? Who had brought him there? Slowly he attempted to raise himself, but the pains which shot through his entire system changed his de- sire to do so and with a groan he settled back. His next step, that of voicing his return to earth, was an equal failure for the sound of a man’s gruff voice distinct- ly familiar silenced him. “I tell you, Bill, we’ll wait till the boss gets back, and then find out what to do with this guy. One of us ought to get him to a doctor.” “Aw rats, don’t get so chicken heart- ed. You remember the boss said we ain’t to budge from here till he shows up. Be- sides, the boss usta be a janitor in a hos- pital once. Maybe he can do something for him. Only next time you bump some- one. don’t bring him along.” “Shut up. That’s nothing to fool about. Bill, you ain't got no heart.” “I know it, you can’t have a heart in this game. I wish that doggone rain would stop. I hate to go out on such a bad night as this. Besides I’ll betcha a good drink the schooner don't show up to- night. The weather’s too rough.—Well, lets get out and see if we sec any signals yet. The boss says this is goin’ to be a big haul.” A door slammed as the two men left the cabin. Norman was left to himself in the dark room. So that was where he had land- ed ! A bootlegger’s hangout! What a fine predicament to be in. To do some- tiling and that immediately was the is- sue before him. Attempts to rise resulted in severe pains. Oh, if he had not let his temper overcome him. But remorse does not help when the deed is done. Nor- man’s only choice was to wait. The room in which he lay was almost THE TECH REVIEW 104 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 in inky darkness, except for the small amount of light which entered through the several narrow cracks of the frail pe- tition. A window at the foot of his bed indicated that the night was well ad- vanced. The rain was pattering against the roof in a constant stream, and the wind was howling around the building, slipping in through the cracks and mak- ing a chilling current. In one corner of the room indistinctly outlined, was a pile of cases stacked to the roof. “Illegal liquor,” thought Norman. “If dad only knew about this.” Norman had hardly finished these ob- servations, when above the wind he heard excited voices of men approaching. Ev- idently the “boss” had arrived. The door burst open and from the sound of the scuffing feet and of the voices, Norman concluded that they were four in all. “Never mind about the guy in there,” said a voice which Norman took for that of the leader of the gang, “we ain’t got time to bother with him. We got to get ready for business. 1 just got word that the sleuth is out on a raid tonight. Joe saw him leave with five other men in his car and he left town in this direction. Course lie may not he after us, hut we ain’t going ta he found unprepared. Rill, you put on your slicker and get out there a couple cf hundred yards up the road. If you see any lights, breeze hack in a hurry. Get me?” “Right.” Now you men get that gun ready and bar them windows.” A bustle indicated all were hard at work. “Sleuth!” Why that was the name they called dad. Hope surged through Nor- man. The thought that perhaps his father was approaching consoled him somewhat. What would “dad” say when he found him there. Still, there was a possibility that the raid was somewhere else. Racked with pains from his bruised body and aching bones Norman realized the helplessness of his condition. 11 is mind was distracted from these dark- thoughts by the sudden return of “Bill.” “Boys, we’re in for it. A car’s coming up the road.” Norman’s heart lcajicd into his mouth. Dad was coming to his rescue though ig- norant of the fact. “Anybody that’s goin' to crash the gates in on us has got to face this toy.” a voice exclaimed, “a hundred shot per is not so good to dodge.” “Shut up.” This came from the leader. “Get down to work and let them open up first.” “O. K. boss.” The noise of an approaching car came out of the night. Then the sound ceased as the machine came to a stop under the protection of the trees a hundred or so feet away. An intense moment of silence followed. Then from outside a sharp voice broke the silence. “Hello there in the cabin.” Sure enough it was dad’s voice. The hail went by unanswered. For a few mo- ments, Norman heard the whispering of the men. “Hello!—Hello! In the name of the law we command you to surrender. We’ve got you surrounded so there’s no chance to escape.” Then the gruff voice of the leader an- swered, “Come and get us if you want ns.” The reports of revolvers followed and then the gangsters’ machine gun began shooting its deadly missiles. The combat was on. Norman was on edge. The gangsters were firing upon the officers. His father was among them and in danger. He must find some way of helping him. Gritting his teeth, as he swung his feet off the bed, he slowly rose to a sitting position. 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 105 Neither leg was broken for he could move them. To raise himself to his feet was the hardest task of all. By sheer nerve he finally succeeded in standing. A cold sweat gathered on his forehead. Two painful steps took him to the dimly out- lined table, on which he leaned for sup- port. The pains were almost unbearable. Three paces separated him from the door to the other room. Still using the table for support, Norman took another step forward, sliding his hands across the ta- ble’s surface. His hands touched a cold object. Norman grasped the object. Joy! for there was the means of salvation. For in fact, not one but two revolvers lay on the table. Norman was satisfied with one. 'I'he two remaining steps brought him to the door. A crack between two boards served as a peep hole to get the -o- cation of the men in the next room. 'I'he light at first blurred his vision, but, grad- ually becoming accustomed to it. he dis- cerned the men grouped around the gun. Spang!—Spang!—Spang! In rapid suc- cession the projectiles shot while one maneuvered the machine so as to rake the forest. “Say, I wonder how the kid’s getting along.’’ The black eves of one of them were looking directly at him. Of course, a petition was between them. “Why don’t ya go in and find out?’’ Norman’s heart stood still. “Heck, no. I’m not that interested.’’ He wasn’t hey! Well he certainly would be in a short while. The time for action was at hand. To grasp the knob, swing the door open, and cover the men with the gun was but the work of few moments. Yet to Norman the task seemed slow. His numl ed muscles refused to act quickly. But in fact it was done in no time. The men turned to face a very pale but de- termined person. Norman’s command of “Don’t move” was unnecessary for the men were stupefied. Then as the amaze- ment passed and their senses returned, the four jumped to their feet. A report of Norman’s revolver, however, prevented them from doing anything rashly. “Now do just as I tell you and keep your hands where 1 can see them. One of you hail the officers. Shout to them that you surrender. Hurry!” After a few moments of hesitation, the leader reluctantly hailed the officers and acknowledged his defeat. “Good. Now tell them that you’re go- ing to file out the door.” 'I'he door was opened and the gangsters marched out into the powerful beams of searchlights. When all four were out, Norman gave a sigh of relief and dragged his body to the door and out into the wet night. There his strength failed him and with a sickening sensation, Norman felt himself being carried down, down, down. Then he know no more. Ill When Norman regained consciousness the second time, lie found himself at home in his bed. Beside him stood his mother. Tears filled her eyes and a wor- ried expression dominated her face. On seeing that his eyes were open, a smile crept through her grief and she stooped to imprint a kiss on his forehead. “Mother” was his only word. His head throbbed with pain, and the aches of his body felt more numerous and intense. In spite of all, the joy of lieing home acted as a soothing balm and Norman relapsed into slumber. He knew not how long he slept, but when he awoke again he was alone. To his surprise, he found that his left arm was encased in a plaster cast. His aches, however, were almost entirely gone and his mind and body felt refreshed. My how good it felt to be home! Norman never realized what home meant until then. Had he been such a fool as to think of running away ? 106 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 While thus reviewing the adventure of the past day, Norman heard the approach of someone. His father entered. “Well, son, feel any better? Doctor says you’ve got to stay there for a week or so. Lucky you didn’t get killed or maimed for life.” And as he said this, he smiled down at Norman. “It certainly was a close one. How did you find out?” “One of the prisoners told me how you happened to be there, but how you got over in that section still puzzles me. The biggest surprise I ever got was when I found you there. What were you doing so far from home?” Norman looked sheepish. “You see, I acted rather foolish yes- terday in school—disobeyed a teacher— so I was expelled for a week, and 1 got the idea of running away.” In this fashion Norman hid the real purpose. “So that’s it. Mother and I didn’t worry because we thought you had gone away to see the team play as you had planned. Its all over now. By the way. did you know that you are a hero? Look at this.” Mr. Watson tossed a newspa- per to his son. On the front i agc was the whole story. “YOUTH CAPTURES BOOTLEGGERS UNAIDED Norman Watson, Son of Noted Revenue Officer Holds Four Thugs at the Point of a pistol until father arrives—then Falls Unconscious.” The paper contained a detailed account of the feat accompanied by a picture of Norman. Norman read the article and smiled. Two weeks later, Norman was again well. Except for his broken arm which he must keep in the cast for several weeks, no effects of the blow lingered. Norman dreaded returning to school. Not only had his week of punishment ex- pired, but through his own fault another had been piled upon it. The additional work he would have to do to catch up to the class was not the cause of his dread. Norman dreaded the unavoidable meeting with Claire. Hadn’t he resolved to make her sorry? And yet the resolution had come to naught. Monday morning dawned. Norman left for school or as he expressed it, “to get it over with.” His way led past Claire's residence. Norman would gladly have taken a different route but sneaking around was not his way of doing things. Usually, Claire waited for him. Of course, Roy would have already replaced him. Just as he passed her home. Claire came out and greeted him. “Hello, Norman, I see you’re well again. I’m so glad to see you.” “Hello,” replied Norman sharply. Then he added sarcastically, “Waiting for Roy?” Claire glanced at him. “No. Roy has gone already. I was waiting for some- one else,” she said blushing. “Who?” “I’ll let you guess.” “It couldn’t be I.” “Yes, it is you.” Claire looked away. “What made you think it was Roy?” “Because—Because, oh hang it all, be- cause I made such a fool of myself two weeks ago. I didn’t think you would want to speak to me again.” “Norman, the fault is really all mine. Won’t you please forgive me. 1 accept- ed Roy’s invitation to see if I could make you jealous. I wanted to see if you real- ly cared.” “And have you found out if I care.” “Yes,” she replied softly, as she looked straight at him, “1 have.” 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 107 108 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 The Pied Piper of the Dogfishes By John Edward Cook. '28 “What’s ’at? None of you fellows never hearn a dogfish bark? I reckon none of you ever had much to do with a regular longshoreman, did ye? Um-m-m. I thought not. 'Hie most you fellas know baout salt water is. that you dump your pork in it after you butcher your hogs in the fall. You know I used t’ work along the shore, quaugin’, an’ darnin’, an’, doin’ a little fishin’, in season. ’At was before I got the fool notion of bein’, nurse to cows an’, hogs an’ raisin’ my own perta- ters. By mighty. I wished I’d stayed there, too. Wa-a-1 as I was savin’ to you a coupla minits ago, there was a time when you could hear dogfishes barkin’ an’ yap- pin’ mighty nigh all the time.” The old man who had made these state- ments, reached into his pocket and pulling forth a plug of tobacco began struggling with frightful grimaces to bite off a chew, by thrusting the plug of Navy up under his left ear where he had a few fangs left. He passed the plug to one of his compan- ions, on request, who proceeded to worry a piece off. and then deposited the re- turned plug in his own pocket. 'Phe room in which these reminiscences were being narrated was the same as that in any small village store. Shelves with various brands and variaties of gaudily labelled cans of fruits and vegetables; barrels of pork, molasses, vinegar, and sour pickles ranged along the walls; sev- eral strips of flypaper hanging from nails driven in the ceiling and covered with deceased victims. There was a large stove in the center of the floor with a footrest worn smooth by the pressure of countless number of rubber boots and cowhide stogies. An iron rail, bolted to the floor, marked an enclosure of narrow boards filled with tobacco stained sawdust. The stove was surrounded by half a doz- en overall-clad gentry of the plow. They refreshed themselves from time to time with a fresh chew of tobacco or additional pipefuls of Old Pippin, “The Smoker’s Delight.” The old man continued his story with frequent pauses for the pur- pose of expectorating prodiguous amounts of tobacco juice at the stove. “About ten or twelve years ago, I was livin’ in a little place called Allen’s Har- bor. 'Phe place was a little bigger than this, an’ had somewhere around three hundred people livin’ there. 'Phe dogfishes had got to l c regular pests around there. By crimnieny! you couldn’t sleep for the racket they made. They would get in a gang out in the harbors; along about sun- down they would start in yappin’ an’ yap- pin’ until everybody was nigh stone deef. After it got good an’ dark, they would come out on the beach an’ eat anything that had been left around. We couldn’t keep any cats. The dogfish just simply drove ’em off. An’ seein’ there warn’t no cats, the rats an’ mice began to overrun the place. It got so, the summer boarders wouldn’t come there any more. Said that there was more noise there then in all creation.” “There was one of ’em, a movie ac- tress; an she shure was purty, too. Wa- a-1, as I was savin’, she had a pet tiger or leopard that she led aroun’ on a chain. That little pet sure could fight. It had all the dogs in the place licked to a frazzle. One night, that leopard started yowlin’ down on the beach. Then the dogfish started yappin’ an’ barkin’. About two 1928 minutes later, the awfulest racket you ever heard started up out there. Harks, growls, meows, shreiks, an’ groans. When that movie actress an’ the rest of us got out there, there warn’t no leopard nor no dog- fishes. The little pet had simply disap- peared. That woman stomped an raved around there for a couple of hours, threat- enin’ to persecute the town an’ evry- body else she could think of for “malici- ously conspiring to the destruction of poor little Tommy.” Tommy was the name she called that young leopard by. Nothin’ never come of her threats though.” “Hoa-a-a-g-g! p’tu!” The old man spat with deadly accuracy into the glowing stove and shifted his cud of tobacco to the other cheek, lie leaned back in his chair and placed his feet on the iron rail, thus preparing to continue his story. “YVa-a-l, things got worse an’ worse. The gol dern mice an rats was every- where. We couldn’t keep any livestock ’cause the rats cleaned up all the feed we had. Some of the neople that lived here all year round moved out. We didn’t know what to do. We’d tried catchin’ ’em with hook an’ line an' with nets, but it didn’t do us any good.” “Then one day, a fella’ come walkin’ up the beach an’ stopped to talk to me. He was a queer lookin’ fella’. He hadn’t had a shave for a week or so an’ his hair looked like it hadn’t been cut since he was a kid. His shirt was full of holes, while the only thing that kept his pants from failin’ off was a piece of rope tied around the top of ’em; an’ I reckon he found his shoes in somebody’s dump. Wa-a-1, he sits down on a coil of rope right near where 1 was workin’ an’ starts in talkin’. 1 told him about what a pest the dogfishes was gettin’ to be an’ how we had tried to get rid of ’em. By Mighty, he just sat there an’ laughed like time, after I told him. He laughed so 109 much that my dander begun to raise, an’ I up and says;’ “‘Well, if you think its so gol blank funny let’s see you try to get rid of ’em’.” “ ‘Why should 1 ?’ he says. ‘It ain’t none of my business’.” “He kept still for quite a spell an’ then he ups an’ says:” “ ‘How much is it worth to you an’ the rest of the folks around here to get rid of these pests of yours’?” “ ‘Wa-a-1, I says, I don’t know how much it's worth to the rest, hut. I’d be willin’ to pay quite a deal to get rid of ’em. If you can guarantee to get rid of ’em for good, why 1 reckon they’ll he willin’ to pay anything. You hang around here for a couple of days ’an’ I’ll find out how much they’ll pay.’” “So 1 went around to some of the big men of the town an’ told ’em about this fella. The upshot of it was, they was willin’ to pay, but they didn’t want to pay too much. They all said they was willin’ to pay anywheres from a hun- dred to two hundred dollars to anyone who could get rid of the darned pests.” “Next day that fella showed up along about ten o’clock. I thought I’d see what he wanted for the job before I told him what my limit was. So I just told him that the men in the town was mighty poor an’ couldn’t pay much, but they was wil- lin’ to pay all they could. He kept still for a spell an’ then he says:” “ ‘You pay me one hundred dollars an’ settle all my expenses an’ I’ll do away with the dogfishes.’ ” “1 didn’t like the part about his ex- penses an’ I told him so. We haggled an’ talked for quite a spell until it slipped out of me that I could offer as high as two hundred dollars. He told me right quick that he would take the two hundred an’ pay his bills out of that. I couldn’t get him any lower after that, so we finally agreed. THE TECH REVIEW 110 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 “He was paid one-half his price that night with the understandin’ that lie would get the rest when he finished his job. He took his money an’ disappeared for two or three days. On the third day. a wagon came into town with a big crate full of cats. The driver of the wagon was that fella, though 1 hardly knew him. He had got himself all dolled up with a new suit, hat an’ shoes. He’d got a haircut an’ shave, too. so that he looked like one of these here city dudes. He unloaded the crate down on the beach. While he was dumpin’ it of! of the wag- on. the cats started yowlin’’. By Crim- nieny! you orter heard the racket the dogfishes started kickin’ up right oft . The only thing that kept ’an from coinin’ onto the beach after the cats was us. After unloadin’ the cats, he bought an old mot- or boat from one of the fellas there. He fixed a screen of chicken’ wire over the whole boat an’ put the crate of cats inside it. He wanted the rest of his money then before he left, he said. They give him what was coinin’ to him an’ he climbed inside the caged boat an’ fixed the screen tight so that nothin’ could get An American and a Scotsman were speaking about the intense cold in the North of Scotland. “Why, it’s nothing at all compared to the cold we get in the States.’’ said the American. “I can recollect one winter when a sheep jumping from a hillock into a field, became suddenly frozen on the way, and stuck in the air like a mass of ice.” “But, good heavens, man,” exclaimed the Scotsman, “the law of gravity wouldn’t allow that.’’ “Oh, we don’t do things by halves at home,” replied the Yankee, “the law of gravity was frozen, too. in. We shoved the boat off of the beach for him. Just as soon as the boat was free of the beach, it started tossin’ an’ the cats they, started yowlin’, Wa-a-1 say! you orter seen the dogfishes then. They made enough noise to dee fen a doorpost. Lucky for that fella, he had that cage over the boat, 'cause those fishes was jumpin’ an' bumpin' right against it, try in’ to get at those cats. The fella started up the motor an’ the boat began to pull away from land. Those fish started after that boat as tight as they could go. There was so many of ’em that the water around the boat was beat to a foam by ’em. Just as soon as the fish started to foller the boat, everybody started yellin’ an’ dancin’ round they was so glad. “That was the last we ever see of ’em, both the fella an’ the fishes. None of the fishes ever come back, anyways. There was only one trouble come of gettin’ rid of the fish—we couldn’t get to sleep nights for a month or so, it was so awful quiet. Why, those fish had really sung us to sleep nights only we didn’t know it.” A small boy entered a grocer’s shop. “Have you any dry biscuits?” he asked the pleasant faced man behind the counter. “Yes,” returned the other, “as many as you want, 1 dare say.” He opened a large tin. “Is that the only kind you have?” “No, here’s another,” said the kindly grocer. “Are you sure they’re very dry?” “Quite sure,” smiled the other. “Very well, then”—the boy backed to- ward the open door—“why not give ’em a drink?” 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 111 DEBATING SOCIETY 112 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 VARSITY DEBATING TEAM Left to right: Marvin Cornell, Harold Fleisig, George Ajootian, Marion Ross, Coach Walter H. Hibbard Debating Notes The activities of the Technical High School Debating Society have been nu- merous and varied. Two debates have been held in the society. A number of papers on debating have been presented. Outside speakers have addressed the so- ciety. On one occasion Shi Fu Nong of Canton, China, explained extra-territor- ial rights, and also gave much informa- tion on the situation in China at present. 'The Varsity Squad presented both sides of the question, “Resolved: That Con- gress Should Pass the Curtis-Reed Bill Providing for a Department of Educa- tion,” in a debate before the Parent- Teacher Association. A February Frolic was held with one hundred and fifty pres- ent. The presence of outside guests and the decoration of the hall made the affair distinctive. Interclass debates were held on the subject, “Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should be Abolished in the United States. The Varsity team debated Rogers High School of Newport, R. I., on the subject, “Resolved : That the Phil- ippine Islands Should be Granted their Immediate and Complete Independence from the United States”; and B. M. C. Durfee High School of Fall River, Mass., on the subject, “Resolved: That the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitu- tion of the United States Should be Re- pealed.” 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 113 The Career of Jim Westbrook Frank C. Helm, '28 It was growing dusk as Jim Westbrook swung down from one of the coaches of a long, black train. He was no sooner clear of his car than the engine started puffing and growling on its way deeper into the Canadian forests. To him the journey had been long and tedious, hut he had at last arrived at Blue Ridge, a French-Canadian village in the forests of Ontario. The small railroad platform was built on the highest point in the town, and. as he stood there and gazed about, he was soothed by the tranquility and serenity. It was such a contrast to New York, the noisy metropolis he had left several days previous. 'Flic silence gave him an inward feeling of satisfaction, as he breathed the cool, crisp air. Jim whistled meditatively, and then exclaimed, “What a dandy place for a vacation!” Gathering his luggage, he walked to the only store in the town, and upon stepping inside found a group of Canadians sur- rounding a small stove in the center of the room. They smiled when they saw him, some of them returning his smile, and others smiling at his tenderfoot ap- pearance. Jim faced the store-keeper and asked, “Do you know of any place I could put up for the night ?” To this query, the man replied abruptly, “There ees a room over dees store. You can have heem.” “That suits me,” said Jim, feeling lucky that he had obtained quarters. On the following morning he rose very early, went down to the store, and found some of the men he had seen the night before. As he ordered provisions in quantities to last about five days, the trappers began to jabber among them- selves. His order completed. Jim turned to leave when one of the men motioned to him. In broken English the Canadian asked, “You go camj) een woods? “Expect to,” Jim replied. “De wolf, he ees ver’ had,” said the stranger. “No food dees dime of year. Me warn you.” At this warning Jim laughed. Hadn’t he been in the woods this time last year? Had he had any trouble with wolves at any time previous? Surely this man was trying to make him the object of a joke. Jim had tramped hours, resting at in- tervals, and choosing the trails which seemed most inviting, when he came sud- denly to a small clearing surrounded by dense brush and trees. As the forests were becoming dim with the setting sun, he decided to make this spot his camp. He dropped his pack and proceeded to gather fire-wood in preparation for the night. Presently he had a fire crackling. Then taking utensils from his knapsack, he pre- pared several strips of bacon and toasted some slices of bread over the flames. He drank two cups of strong cofi'ee to com- plete the crude meal. The night had grown black; Jim sat before the fluttering fire smoking a briar pipe. Through his mind ran reminis- cences of past events that had taken place during his struggles for a livelihood in “the big city.” In a campaign for State Representative he had been defeated—by a slight margin—by his friend and rival of long standing, Alden Kay. The contest had been long and bitter, and Jim had been the loser. Suddenly from a ridge 114 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 nearby came a long, drawn-out howl, which shivered up and down his spine. He jumped to his feet, remembering the admonitions that the men of the village had given him, but again all was silent. Jim reclined once more and for a brief period of time lay meditating. 11 is mind wandered a second time from the present, and be began to think of the possibilities that were in store for him for the future. As his eyes hovered from the lire to the darkness beyond, they suddenly encount- ered a strange pair of yellow orbs glaring from the depths of the forest. As be watched, lie became aware of a black mass hurtling toward him. Jim, acting under a sudden impulse, dodged, at the same time grabbing his rifle from the ground. The intruder, wild and furious because of his first failure, leaped a second time; but Jim, now alert, stepped quickly aside, and brought the rifle down with tremend- ous force upon the animal’s skull, for the assailant was a wolf. Cray streaks were forming in the eas:- ern sky. Jim Westbrook gathered his possessions into a neat pack in prepara- tion for his departure from the woods. He had removed the shaggy pelt of the wolf to carry back with him as an im- pressive reminder. All his dreams of a restful vacation were shattered. He would go back to New York to spend the remainder of his vacation in the din of the city; but Jim was consoled by the remembrance of a little gray-haired mother who would be waiting for him, and who would be overjoyed to see him. 'I'lie thought of victory over the beast also made life appear to be worth living to Jim. The journey back to Blue Ridge, and from Blue Ridge to New York, was with- out event or accident. He was wrapped completely in his thoughts and plans for the future, and he was aware of nothing that went on about him. He telegraphed home of his return. The more he thought the more determined he became to make good his first failure. By the time that the train came in sight of the city, he had fully decided to try a second time for that height which seemed so difficult for him to attain. The grating of iron wheels on the rails brought him from his deep musing with a start as he realized that he had arrived at his destination. To a cab-driver’s “Taxi?’’ Jim responded almost mechan- ically. and ten minutes later he burst in upon his mother, who was so elated at the sight of him that she could not utter a word. After telling her all that had occurred from the time of his departure from home, and after a week of pleasure with her, he settled down to his work. One day as he was eating his breakfast, about a month after his return from Can- ada, his mother brought a letter to him which read: Dear Mr. Westbrook: Having heard of your ability in the practice of law, I wish to in- form you, at your earliest conven- ience, of a case which deserves your immediate attention. This case is one which, if successful, will mean very much to you in the future. Yours truly, H. Hopkins Burt. Jim lost no time in communicating with Mr. Burt and learned that the latter had been accused of being the leader of a gang smuggling munitions and arms into Russia. From the information Jim re- ceived from outside sources, he came to the comT.ision that H. Hopkins Burt was entirely free from guilt, and that there was sufficient testimony to establish a strong case to prove his innocence. The several ensuing months Jim spent in pre- paring the case. His investigation en- tailed travel and endless interviews, but at length, he began to feel assured that his 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 115 client had reasonable chances of being cleared. Each day brought with it some- thing new for him to strengthen the proof which he was carefully constructing. As the time for the hearing of the case ap- proached, he had collected quantities of evidence for Mr. Burt and against his adversaries, all of which had meant searching inquiries and unremitting toil for Jim. Now he knew that if he could give the testimony in a forceful and effect- ive manner success would crown his ef- forts. He realized how much the winning of this case meant to his future achieve- ments in his life work, as the entire city had been aroused by this accusation against Mr. Burt, whose popularity as an honest business man was far-reaching. Jim was spurred on all the while by his mother, and the victory seemed so in- evitable that he labored all the more for its success; so that when the case was heard before the court, the jury gave the verdict of “not guilty” within fifteen min- utes of the time that they had left the box. Jim’s victory had been so complete, and the offensive had been so humiliated, that the “Herald” devoted a front head- line, together with two columns, to the case. “Jim Westbrook” was on the tip of everyone’s tongue, and he was the sub- ject of conversation everywhere, lie shared the triumph with his mother. Jim had but one thought in mind now—that ---------O Harry Huntington went into a con- fectionery store. After waiting about ten minutes he grew impatient and called. “Here, young lady, who waits on the nuts?” Where is the population of this country most dense? Above the shoulders. he had overwhelmingly won the case which would mean so much in his next campaign for office. Jim sat in an easy chair “listening in,” patiently waiting to hear the results of the election which were to be broadcast. He had won numerous cases in rapid succes- sion after his first great accomplishment, and it was apparent that he was the most popular candidate for State Representa- tive in New York. Everywhere lie went, people noticed and respected him because of his earnestness and sincerity in co- operating for their welfare. Through H. Hopkins Burt’s influence he had become intimate with many of the leading men of New York. Amid all this popularity, however, praise had not turned his head, although his mind was more free in many respects. Suddenly, the radio announcer asked for attention, for he was about to give the final returns of the entire election. Jim sat forward in rigid suspense as he heard: “James Westbrook, Republican, 63,811 votes; Alden Kay, Democrat, 11,226 votes; Henry . . .” Then the ringing of the telephone hell interrupted and Jim received the first congratulation for his victory. To his profound satis- faction, the voice which he heard upon lifting the receiver was none other than that of his rival, Alden Kay. Flynn: “Do you know Adolph, the butcher boy? Well, he just dropped sixty feet.” Jones: “Sixty feet! Did it kill him?’ Harry: “No, they were pig’s feet.” Bob: “Do you play golf?” Frenchy: “Oh, dear no. I don't even know how to hold a caddie.” 116 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 FRENCH CLUB 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 117 Le Cercle Francais Le Cercle Francais of Technical High and has subscribed to the very interesting School meets in the Assembly Hall on the second Monday of every month at 3 P.

The Technical High School Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club held its initial meeting, March 5, 1928 in the Assembly Hall at 2:45. The new officers were in- stalled and took charge of the meeting. The officers are: Edward G. Conway, President; Edward Bagley, Vice-Presi- dent; Selma Smira, Secretary; Spencer Carlisle, Treasurer; Clara Ledberg, Chairman of Social Committee. Mr. Carlisle and Miss Ledberg resigned their offices, due to outside activities. Samuel Malin and Elizabeth Hansen were elected to the offices respectively. The club is limited to seventy-six mem- bers which are tried by a membership committee and initiated by the social com- mittee. The members were initiated at the first meeting of the term. After the members were satisfied that the chosen ones were duly installed refreshments were served and dancing continued until five. At the next meeting a one-act play, “The Medicine Show” by Steward Walk- er was presented after which refresh- ments were served and dancing followed. The club, however, does not only give plays at its meetings. The club intends to represent Tech at Pawtucket in a State wide competition for the best one act play produced at their hall on June 2. The club is also lending the Seniors the scen- ery for their play, “Romeo Jane.” All the plays are produced under the direc- tion of Miss Florence H. Bray, faculty advisor. President Edward G.

The Tech Radio Club The Technical High School Radio As- sociation has just enjoyed its twelfth and most successful year, under the direction of Mr. H. B. Peabody as faculty ad- visor. As usual the club has held twenty- eight regular meetings and several special meetings. The officers of the club are: John S. Meadus, President; George Durfee, Vice President; Angelo Danella, Secretary; Harold Frail, Treasurer; Al- mon T. White, Librarian. This club was started in the spring of 1916 by a group of students interested in the science of: Radio which was then called “Wireless.” Many of these boys are now actively engaged in the radio business in this city. Since then the club has bought and sold materials and ac- cumulated a great deal of stock which is used to build and repair sets and for ex- perimental purposes. During the past year we have done about $800 worth of business. The club has paid for a.l u - terials on hand, now has a cash balance, and is able to pay its members for the work done by them. This year we have aroused anew the interest that was once held in code prac- tice, and six of our members have suc- ceeded in passing the code test and thus have become active members. The regu- lar meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock in 5-12, and we cordially invite any member of Tech that is interested in radio to attend these meet- ings. —J. S.

We have gradually climbed higher and higher in the ranks until we now stand second only to Pawtucket, who has carried away the cup for four years in succession. However, Tech only lost by 2.4 points. This is a very close margin, and the final scoring had to be made twice, to elim- inate mistakes. Of the six highest places, Tech took first, fourth, and sixth, Pawtucket taking the other three. Wood made the highest score ever made at Kingston: 94,12%.

Captained by Mildred French, the team did its best, but only managed to win one game. They fell to Commercial 24-3, and to Hope 32-14. But the Classical Seniors were easy victims and Tech won 22-4. Juniors The Junior team, headed by Capt. Lin- da Anderson, was the best and most suc- cessful team that Tech turned out. After defeating Hope and Commercial 34-14 and 31-16 respectively, they trounced Classical 39-10. Winning these three games placed the Tech Juniors against the Classical Frosh, for the semi-finals, where they won again, 38-3. In the finals, Tech worked hard but had to bow to the mighty Commercial Seniors, last year’s champs, 9-18. Sophomores Same as the Seniors, the Sophs had hard luck trying to build up a team. In the games they had even worse luck, fail- ing to win a single game. Nevertheless, Capt. Betty Bradshaw deserves plenty of credit for outplaying her opjx sing center, in every game. The results of the Sophomore games were: Commercial, 53; Tech 8. Classical, 32; Tech, 14. Hope, 18; Tech, 11. 132 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 This year again, the Freshmen didn’t shine in basketball. But they didn’t take any bad beatings and even won one game. Tech won over Hope 15-13, but lost to Classical 10-17, and Commercial 12-22. Ruth Sutton, star forward, was captain. VOLLEY BALL The volley ball team didn’t live up to expectations this year. Tech lost two en- counters—to Commercial and Hope. Both games were well played, but the other teams were stronger and in each case the score was 2-0. In the Classical game, the Tech team woke up and beat the Pur- ple 2-0. Linda Anderson and Betty Bradshaw starred in the forward line, which Flora Smith did the best volleying from the rear. The following were on the squad: Elna Blomquist, Captain; Linda Anderson, Irma Russin, Hope Brown, Eva Wade, Flora Smith, Betty Bradshaw, Charlotte Johnson, Ruth Thornton, Mary Marcello, Virginia Vaughn, Lillian Wagner, Bea- trice Berkander. BASEBALL A good baseball team is in view this year. All the squad needs is a lot of prac- tice, and it’s apt to get it, as the games will probably not be played until the lat- ter part of the term. Flora Smith will likely do the pitching, with Linda Ander- son at first base. FIELD HOCKEY The hockey team made fair success this season. Tech tied two games with Com- mercial, the city champs, 1-1; and Classi- cal 1-1, but Hope defeated us 2-1, after the hardest fought battle of the season. A much better team is looked forward to next year, if as many girls come out as did last year. Dot Swift, our center forward, will be lost through graduation, but otherwise, the team will probably be made up of veteran players. ---o---- SWIMMING The Girls’ City High School Cham- pionship meet was held at the Braman Pool, May 17, 1928. The contest was close, with Hope barely nosing out Tech by 2] 2 points. Hope took 23 J4 points, Tech 21, Commercial 3, and Classical 2] 2. Tech captured three first and two sec- ond places. Mildred French won the 40 yd. free style by nearly a half length, Elna Blomquist took the 20 yd. free style, and Louise Aborn, Leota Harris, Elna Blomquist, and Mildred French won the relay. Lizetta Carpenter, Clara Judge, Mil- dred Peirce and Katherine Crandall also swam for Tech, but failed to place. The summary: 40 yd. free style—Won by M. French, Tech; L. Harris, Tech, second; E. Paul, Olassical, third. 20 yd. side stroke—Won by E. Schwartz, Hope; J. Bauer, Hope, sec- ond ; C. Troy, Hope, third. 20 yd. breaststroke (for style only)— Won by L. Tucker, Hope; J. H.

(Aborn, Harris, French, Blomquist.) 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 133 134 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Baseball News Starting the season with but four vet- erans. the Technical High School base- ball team has not l een defeated to this date and has a record of seven consecu- tive victories. Under the leadership of Captain Mario De Pippo. our veteran shortstop, the Crimson and Gray warriors are having one of the l est seasons in the history of Tech. Supporting Capt. lie Pippo on our im- pregnable inner defence are, Frank Ap- plin, a new but promising first baseman, Harry Greaves a horn second baseman, and Joe Dobosynski a real hot corner guardian. Our three hall hawks of the outer garden. Gorman at right, Janis at center, and Platt at left field arc the envy of the opposing school teams of the state. Ranking among the best pitchers of the state is Quinton, our stellar slab artist. He must be given much credit for the success of our 1928 club. Speed and control arc his means of success. We wish him the best of luck in his later baseball years. The brilliant performance of Dixie Matthews behind the plate has been one of the chief elements of the team’s success. He has served as Quin- ton’s most reliable target for th last two seasons. Kirkland and Halloway served as most worthy substitute battery and they de- serve no little credit. Morse, Lutz, and Murphy composed an able extra set of outfielders and Taylor served as a re- liable assistant in the infield. We appreciate the work of Coach Schuster in transforming a rather medi- ocre nine into a team of championship standing. His uncomplaining patience and clever baseball tactics have made possible Tech’s success in the baseball world.

Several weeks of hard training were necessary before this newly recruited team was ready to compete with any other school. The opening meet of the year on February 8, was with Paw- tucket High School at their new pool and resulted in a score of 41-19 in favor of Pawtucket. Not discouraged by this de- feat. our natators were spurred to greater efforts. Two weeks later on February 22, the team met Hope High School at Braman Pool, and won by a rousing score of 41-21. Two more weeks of training followed and then occurred the big meet of the year on March 7. This was to determine the City Championship. Tech, Hope, Classical, and Commercial entered. The meet ended with Tech and Commercial tied for first, each having 20 points, Hope being third with 18 and Classical bringing up the rear with a total of 17. ------o IDLE THOUGHTS Which one of you has never dreamed Of being great some day? Have you ne’er hoped that Fate Would bring you fame some way? Who would not bridge Atlantic’s roar Or build below the waves A subway of cement and steel, Through subterranean caves. The Nobel winner earns acclaim From even mighty kings,— What soul in silence has not craved Renown, such honor brings? But wherefore dream, when deeds alone Will lead to envied Fame? Go, win, and earn your place Or stay, and play the game. Helen Cunningham, ’28 The Brown Interscholastic Swimming Meet was held on March 16, and ter- minated with St. George’s Academy win- ning 26 points. Moses Brown 17 , Paw- tucket W t, Commercial 9, Tech 6, Hope and Classical tied for the bottom with five apiece . On March 23, in the Y. M. C. A. Interscholastics Pawtucket was first, Commercial second, Tech third, Hope fourth, Classical fifth, Cranston sixth. Pawtucket High School on March 28, held an Interscholastic Meet in their new pool and offered two cups; one for first place and the other for second place. Pawtucket came in first with 41 points. Tech true to her colors defeated her rival Commercial for second place with 18 points to the latter’s 16 points. Tech’s last meet of the year, held at Braman Pool on April 4, was with Commercial to determine the battle held previously for the City Championship. Tech came out the victor in the glorious ending of the season, with the score 32-24. THE TECH REVIEW There is a splendid brochure It’s printed just for you, It has a lot of literature, It’s called the Tech Review The class of twenty-eight Have handed down to you, A book that’s grown so great It’s worth calling, Tech Review It only costs a small amount, Some dimes, a very few You spend to good account When you buy a Tech Review. Next year, you’ll have your chance To make an issue new Then don’t be slack, advance The standard of the Tech Review Now take in charge, dear “pals” of Tech, Since schooldays are but few, This organ of our dear old Tech, Support the Tech Review. Blanch Howe, ’28 133 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 TRACK TEAM 1928________THE TECH REVIEW________. 139 Track Prospects Look Good Our outdoor track season was officially opened a few weeks ago by Coach Robert McMillan. Judging from the array of talent that was present at the first turn- out, prospects for a good season on the cinder path are indeed bright. It will be remembered that last fall Tech boasted of one of the best cross country teams in the athletic history of the school. Both the city and state cham- pionships were captured in impressive fashion by our knights of the path. The indoor team continued where the outdoor aspirants left Off in a recent meet at the Armory. Despite the fact that the team suffered keenly by the absence of Fred Me.Milieu in the three hundred yard run and dashes, it rendered a very creditable account of itself. Captain Mulcahey, Allen, and Fascitelli excelled. In the initial workout of the season Coach McMillan gave the candidates a short explanation of the essential funda- mentals, and then gave them several short workouts to determine their relative merits. Incidentally every one showed to advantage. Prospects for another suc- cessful season were assured by the pres- ences of Fred McMillen and Fascitelli. The seniors copped the interclass meet with comparative ease. The manner in which the graduates walked away with the race looms favorably for their chances as representatives of the best track talent in Tech. Mulcahey, our captain, can be depended upon to show fine form in the 880 yard and mile run. The varsity team defeated Woonsocket in its first meet 78-48. Fascitelli won the 100 yard dash in the fast time of ten and four-fifth seconds. Carlson and Mul- cahey were double. On the following Saturday, the boys attended the Brown Conference Relays and captured second place, establishing a new record in the half mile. The half mile team consisted of Fascitelli, Kliener, Johnson, and McMillen. Hopes are held out for success of our team in the meet to be held at Kingston in the near future, the men mentioned above are expected to bring the laurels of the meet to Tech.

Mott and his teammates, who played through a schedule that any college fresh- man team might boast of undertaking. The l ech Hockey team, by steady team- work and accurate playing, succeeded in winning the majority of its games, due to the excellent coaching of Mr. William Schuster. At the beginning of the year, Coach Schuster was quite gloomy as to the out- come of the present season as Capt. Mott was the only veteran to report for prac- tice. After a few weeks of preliminary work, the coach rounded out one of the best teams that ever represented Tech. The star player of the team was Greaves, who played right wing. He emassed a total of seven goals during the season. Capt. Mott, although playing goal tender proved himself more than an asset to his team by stopping shots that looked like sure goals to the opposing team. Micaleau and Johnson also proved to he of great assistance to the team in their allround good work in various positions on the team. The standing for the vear is as follows: Tech 2 Brown Freshmen 2 Tech 2 Central Falls 0 Tech 4 Central Falls 0 Tech 1 St. Raphael 0 Tech 3 St. Raphael 0 Tech 2 Cumberland 0 Tech 4 Cumberland 0 Tech 1 Warwick High 2 Tech 0 Warwick High 1 Tech 1 Moses Brown 0 Tech 0 Pom fret 5 1928 THE TECH REVIEW 141 -$- 5 3 3 8 3 3 3 3 $ 5 3 3 3 3 8 8 8 3 8 3 8 8 f 3 3 8 8 Coin pli men ts Paddock Paper Company Bedell’s Shoe Dept.
