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 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.

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.
