8 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 TIMOTHY FRANCIS BUCKLEY, JR. Next, we have the fellow with the wavey hair. Who said Tech was a dull school? 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 7 GLADYS CAROLYN BERRY “Happy” is the girl whose laugh we all like to hear. 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. '26; Art Club. '27; Honor Society; Volley Ball, ‘28; Swimming, '27. JAMES LAWRENCE BUCKLEY “Jimmy” believed Tech to be the only school. He found he was not mistaken. 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. '27, ’28; Dramatic Club, '27, ’28; Sophomore Indoor Track.

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.
