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.

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.

12 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 PACIFICO ANTONY COUCCI Four years ago Antony was dispatched to Tech with other Bridghamites. 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. Spanish Club, '26; Dramatic Club, '27, '28; Debating Society, '28; French Club. ’28: President Dramatic Club, '28; “Adam and Eva”; Publicity, “Romeo and Jane ; Senior Play, “Romeo and Jane.” IRVING HOWES COOK Yes, “Cookie” himself. 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.
