1928 THE TECH REVIEW 21 ELSA SONJA FAGRELIUS “Sunny” Serious? Well yes. when the occasion demands, but as a general rule “Sunny” belongs to that group which the world calls happy-go-lucky. Good matured and fond of fun, Sonja has enjoyed many of our good times. These good times, however, have not interfered with her studies, as her Honor Society pin signifies. She is often seen with her inseparable “pals,” “Siggy” and Etta. Elsa plans to enter Gibbs Secretarial School in the fall. R. I. Honor Sccictv; French Club, '26, '27. LOUIS EDMOND JOHN FARRELL There is never any Peace. When “Duke” is there, at least. “Bang! Crash!” What’s that commotion in the cor- ridor in front of 3-7. It must he that quiet ( ?) fellow “Duke.” He came to us from George J. West Gram- mar School in 1924. 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. Track, '26. '27, '28; Leaders’ Corps, ’25. '26; French Club, '26, '27, ’28. (dee Club, '26, '27. FRIEDA FELDMAN You ought to know Frieda! Really she’s worth while. During her short stay at “Tech” she has made scores of friends. Frieda is a blithsome girl and her charms—we cannot count them, for they are as numer- ous as her smiles. When she laughs, you cannot but laugh with her—and to see the twinkle in her eye! But this is not all, for Frieda has always maintained a good record in all of her studies. Frieda intends to further her musical education. We certainly wish her luck! Glee Club, ’26, '27, 28; Clef Club, '27, '28; Orchestra, '27, ’28; Dramatic Club, '27, '28.

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. '26, '27, 28; French Club, '26. JAMES RICHARD ELLIOTT And next we come to the happy countenance of J. Richard Elliott, known to his classmates as “Dick.” Although he has red hair, he has no temper, and his list of friends is outnumbered only by the standing army. 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. Spanish Club, ’26, '27. CLAIRE ERNSTOF Gentility and refinement are composites of Claire’s “make up.” It would be hard to picture Claire without a smile, for she is always happy. 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. Honor Society; French Club, ’26, '27; Art Club, '27; Debating Society. ’26, '27, '28. Senior Play, Romeo and Jane.” SALVATORE J. ESPOSITO “Sal” “This is station C-L-A-S-S-I-C-A-L—squee-eek-erk zzr-sh—bang!” “Something gone wrong!” exclaims our hero. “I’ll have to tune in another station.” “This is station T-E-C-H.” “At last I have it.” Estimable “Sal” Esposito, after listening in for two years from Classical, found his apparatus suddenly had developed static. He changed and since then, the clear “Tech” wave length has not bothered him. Al- though he has not participated in athletics, he has aided the Glee Club with his “extra quality” voice. He is undecided as to his future. Glee Club, ’27; Treasurer, ’28; Italian, ’28.

22 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 ER MINIO DAVID FERRARA You know folks, it’s this way. Herman came to Tech four years ago from Bridgham Grammar School. Always smiling and willing to hear good jokes, he has won many friends. It would he a shock not to see him with some sort of bright cravat. Although out- side activities have kept him busy.’ he can always he found at socials and student dances, inside and out- side of school. He intends to enter Brown to prepare for a law course at Boston University. ROBERT HENRY FILLMORE “Boh” Stop! Look! and Read! for if you do not, you will surely miss something. Friends, here we have “Bob,” one of our importations from the “East Side,” who came to us four years ago from Thayer Grammar. While at Tech, he has added to his ever lengthening list of friends, the names of both teachers and pupils. We are always sure to sec “Bob” at all the games and Tech’s social functions. Some higher institution will probably draft “Bob” after graduation. Glee Club, ’25, ’26, '27, ’28: Secretary, ’28; Home Room Rep- resentative 2A, 3B, 3A; Alternate, 4B; Student Council. HAROLD WILLIAM FLYNN Hail! Hail! Our “Honorable Class President.” A friend through “thick and thin.” “Harry’s” good nature and ever present smile have made him well known and well liked throughout Tech. Since enter- ing from the Henry Barnard School, “Harry” and “Denney” have been seen together at most of our socials and games. His cheery “Hi Duffy,” is a wel- come greeting. He has worked hard during his stab- at Tech and the best wishes of the class go with him when he enters Brown next fall.

West, “Fred” was lured by the shop courses offered at Tech to come here. The two-thirtv hell has not meant the end of study for “Fred” lmt only an interruption in the day’s work. By placing business before pleasure, “Fred” has attained a high standing among his classmates who have found in him a loyal friend. While outside interests have interfered with his participation in athletics and at- tendance at social functions, “Fred” has contributed to their support generously. He will continue his career in the business world after graduation.
