30 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 HARRY WARNER HUNTINGTON “Wumpus” “Wumpus” is a product of Peace Street Grammar School. He has attended all our socials and no student dance would he complete without his services as bouncer. Biology and art are his favorite subjects although he gives some attention to the rest. “Wumpus” and “Henry” usually arrive at school about 8:15 A. M., after which time one may find him strolling through “Lovers’ Lane.” The Pratt Institute of Fine Arts will he his next Alma Matter.

FRANK IACONO “Ike” “Zing, Bam, Bang.” Oh! its all right, hoys, nothing has started except Ike’s racing car, “Dynamite.” Ike as he is called by some of his friends, is a quiet honest, studious chap. Although he has not participated in athletics, he has contributed generously towards the community chest. He excels in chemistry, shop and Italian. He never omits student dances or socials. After school, with a few of his friends, Ike races off in his high powered car. In Septeml er, he expects, with his friend Gemma, to enter Rhode Island State College.

REBELLA MARY IANNUCCILLO This sedate young lady, with the solicitous expression on her face, proves that good things often come in small packages. She is diminutive, hut she has earned an Honor Society pin. Rebella has worked conscient- iously while she has been in Tech, hut has always been responsive to the needs of her neighbor. She delights in test tubes and Bunsen burners. We wish success for Rebella in whatever she decides to do after leaving Tech. R. I. Honor Society; Italian Club, '26, '27. CHARLOTTE AM El LA JOHNSON “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” This adage may well be applied to Charlotte. She is a “shark” in geometry problems. Charlotte is a very active athlete, and is naturally so intelligent that she doesn’t have to worry about her lessons. Although Charlotte is un- decided as to her future, we are convinced that she will succeed in whatever she attempts. Basketball, ’26, ’27, ’28; Hockey, ’28; Volleyball, ’28; Base- ball, ’25.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 29 HELEN NAIZETTE HOPKINS Yes! That young lady with the pretty brown hair and the flashing dark eyes is none other than our class- mate “1 loppy.” Although her manner is somewhat reserved, she has many friends, not only among students but teachers as well. As an accomplished dancer, 1 lelen is present at our dances and socials. Wherever she may he, her inseparable pal, “Bobby,” is found with her. May the qualities which made her popular at Tech continue to stand by her when she steps out into the world. She is undecided as to her future. Glee Club IB, 2B, 2A, 3A ; Dramatic Club 4A ; Student Dance WALTER FRANCIS HORBET “Walt” “Walt” came to the portals of Tech from Asa Messer Grammar School. He has attended all socials and has made many friends during his stay here. Because of outside interests he has never entered athletics although he has supported them freely. Chemistry and mechan- ical drawing are his favorite subjects, although he seems to “get by” in the rest. “Walt” usually comes in at 8:35 in the morning, but it is better late than never with him. His future is undecided. DOROTHY MAUD HOUSTON “Dot” Though Dorothy has a pre-occupied air, she is one of our class leaders and is full of fun. Her engaging smile and flashing wit have been magnets to draw friends. “Dot” enjoys herself at all the socials and dances and is an ardent supporter of athletics. She claims English is her favorite subject, but she does well in all of them. Some day, soon, we shall see Dorothy in a white cap and uniform nursing someone back to health.

She came to us four short years ago from Bridgham Grammar School. Although not having attended many student dances and socials, she has cultivated friendships in other ways. We all know what a wonderful piano player Blanch is. Who knows, may be someday she will he composing music. She is often deep in discussion with her “chum” Edith. Blanch intends to go to Vermont Normal School in the fall, and we all know that she will reach her goal.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 31 DANIEL CARL ADOLPH JOHNSON Look closely at this solemn (?) son of Tech. “Dan” came to its four years ago from Sackett Street School. He has two noticeable weaknesses: one for studying; the other, for athletics. ()utside activities have hindered him somewhat from the latter, lmt he has shown his ability as a member of the hockey team. “Dan’s” fa- vorite subject is “math,” but his marks show that he has done well in all his subjects. He hopes to enter college in the fall, and we wish him luck in his quest for knowl- edge at the higher institution. Hockey, ’28. NELS HAROLD JOHNSON “Hal” Crash! Bang! “What is all that noise around here?” “Oh! It’s only ‘Hal’ coming to school on his motor- cycle. In the short time he has been with us “Hal” has endeared himself to a goodly number of our class. Being a member of the “Silent Sextet.” he may be seen anytime or anywhere with one of its members. “Hal” has l een to all the socials and many of the student dances. He is one of the high lights in that respect. His favorite subject is mechanical drawing. After graduating “Hal” expects to go to Lynn to probe far- ther into the mysteries of mechanical drawing. “Has the last bell rung yet” is a familiar cry in 3-12 as “Don” comes hurrying in at 8:29. During his term of enlistment at Tech, “Don” has attracted many friends of both sexes. “Don” is not a performer on any of our teams but he is seen at all the games cheering lustily, and always at his side is that “Certain Party.” He says he is not partial to any subject, and after graduation he will enter Bryant and Stratton’s in search of further knowledge. Class Treasurer, 4A; Chairman Class Ring Committee; Stu- dent Dance Committee, 4A; Tech Review Board 4B, 4A. MARY ALICE KASPARIAN This dignified mademoiselle came to us from Candace Street School .four brief years ago, during which she has augmented the number of her well wishers. Al- though Mary has not participated in any of the sports, she has regularly strengthened their financial backing. She and Rebella are kindred spirits. This quiet (?) little girl confides to us that she likes dressmaking and domestic art. After leaving Tech, Mary intends to train for the business world. DONALD SPINK JONES
