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. Class President, 4A; Tkcu Rf.view Board, '28; Home Room Representative, '26, '27; Class Basketball, ’27; Tech Hi-Y Club. OSCAR EMIL FREDERICK “Fred” Starting his career in George J. 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.

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.

INEZ MARGARET GEBHARD Inez has made her unostentatious way through Tech, forgetting her own difficulties in helping others out of theirs. She appears quiet, hut those of us who know her, say “Looks are deceiving.” Since she so often carries her English hooks home, you might guess that English was her favorite study, hut guess again.—Inez prefers French. Although we haven’t seen Inez at many student dances, she has attended our class socials. Next fall, Inez hopes to he climbing Francis St. Hill to R. I. C. E. French Club, 27. ‘28; Tkcu Rkvikw Board, ‘28. JOHN GEMMA Who’s that fellow with his wooden heels clogging along? Why, that’s John Gemma, better known to his friends as “Kid Dodge.” Chemistry and lunch are his favorite subjects. Hot Tamallc! how things do hum when “Kid Dodge” goes to the meetings of the Italian Club! He has not had much time for outside activities, but has supported them faithfully, and has been present at every student dance and social. Upon completion of his studies at Tech, “Kid Dodge” aspires to gain a place upon the roster of R. 1. State, Kingston. Italian Club, '26, '28. VINCENT GALLAGHER “Jimmie” Surely, you have noticed this quiet-mannered fellow strolling through the corridors looking very studious although he often makes plenty of noise with his friends, Coletti and Bryden. Well, he is none other than our friend “Jimmie,” who through his ability to “down” subjects has won himself a place in the Honor Society. “He’s a jolly good fellow,” as anyone im- mediately finds upon making his acquaintance. Next fall, Jim will seek further knowledge at R. I. State. Good Luck, “Jimmie.” Dramatic Club, ‘28; French Club, '27, ‘28; Program Com- mittee, ‘28; Soccer, '27, ‘28; Honor Society; Senior Play, Props.
