32 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 REALM MADEROS KECHIJIAN Here is a serene and unassuming youth who is on the best of terms with all of us. Although interested in sports, he has never taken part in them, but has con- tributed financially to their support, lie isn't exactly a “bookworm,” but ingeniously pulls through his studies fairly well. Providence College will be his Alma Mater. Good luck to you, old boy! HAROLD KELMAN “Hecla,” “Kelly” Well, who doesn’t know Harry? It is through Harry’s wonderful attributes that he has made so many friends. “Kelly” is an outstanding musician, and so at socials and student dances, he is always present with his “sax” to provide the sweet melody. Harry also applies his technique to a small black instrument, which he pleases to call a clarinet. Since Harry is a hard worker, we feel sure he will be successful, and in the future we expect to see him impressario of one of the world’s most famous orchestras. Glee Club, ’26, ’27; Senior Orchestra, ’28; Tech Band, 28; Tech Varsity Stampers, '28; Senior Day Orchestra, ’28. ALBERT FREDERICK KETTLEBAND “Al,” “Jickey” Crash! Bang! Oh, that’s only “Jickey” Kettleband, taking his daily slide down the pond Street stairs. 'This dli line to “Tech” from jovial candidate for Broad i e GnilujC) 11 is jolly countenance and plea aiiGits nave won him a place in our regard. “Jickey’ xlaims that English, girls, and loud neckties are his nost interesting subjects. “Jickey” has never “scorned delights and lived laborious days” in order to study, but he has succeeded. He is undecided about his future, but we know he will “make good.” CATHLEEN ALLEN KIERNAN Whose merry laugher is that we hear resounding through the corridor? Why that is Cathleen’s. She may look stately, but you will learn that she’s jovial. Cathleen was ill and had to stay from school for six months, but she has kept up with the class. She has attained high marks in all her studies, but claims nutri- tution and French her favorites. We are sure she will be a kindly, competent attendant to her patients at the Rhode Island Hospital, where she intends to study to become a nurse. French Club, ’26, ’27; Hockey, ’24.

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

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 33 CHESTER A. KIRWIN Classmates, we have before us today, the picture of “Chet” Kirwin, the old biology shark. “Chet” proved his good judgment by changing from Classical to Tech. Whenever there is commotion in the locker room, you may he quite sure that “Chet” is the cause of it, but we forgive him. “Chet” is planning to enter Colum- bia University in the fall. Some day we hope to hear of him as a certified public accountant. Orchestra, '25, '26; Advanced Orchestra, ’25, '26. EDWARD KLEINER BEd, the hoy with the feet! Those feet of Ed’s have taken him over the hundred yards of cinder path in the coveted ten seconds for four seasons. Rut the perversity of those pedal extremities! on a dance floor they are semi-paralytic. I can’t understand Ed’s aversion for the weaker sex. He has all the essential requisites for success with them. He’s tall, slim and has an interesting sweep of hair. The boy has IT. Ed’s favorite study is art. Wait till he goes to the School of Design! lid you’ll have to overcome that bashfulness to be an artist. Track, ’25, '26, '27, ’28. FRANK CHARLES KOMISCHKE “Mickey” “Dilige amicos,” and there are many within the portals of Tech who are honored with “Mickey’s” affections. Although he takes very few books home, he keeps a high standing in all his classes. 1 le never fails to be present at all the social functions of the class, and among his many accomplishments, his ability to sing makes him one of the mainstays of the glee club. I am sure that “Mickey’s” graduation will leave a place hard to fill in the student body of the school. We all wish “Mickey” the best of luck in whatever he under- takes after graduation. Art Club, '26, '27: Glee Club, ’25, '26, '27, ’28; Freshman Soccer Team; Assistant Baseball Manager, '27; Football, ’27; Baseball Manager, ’28. NICHOLAS JOSEPH LAGRECA This quiet fellow is no other than LaGreca. In grad- uating this youth, Georgiaville gave us an excellent student and an ardent worker. Outside duties have kept him from taking part in school activities, but his financial support has never been wanting. LaGreca’s favorite subjects arc mathematics. I le excels at solving puzzling problems in geometry. The mysteries of chem- istry also appeal to him. As to the future, he is un- decided, but we hope that Tech has started him on the road to his deserving success. Senior Play, Romeo and—Jane.
