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.

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.

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.

34 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 LUCY MARIK LANCKLLOTTI Who is that making as much noise as possible with her wooden heels? Why that’s our “Lu” rythmically treading her way. Lucy is an accomplished piano player and she has a charming alto voice. Lucy is always ready for enjoyment and she has never missed a social. She and Vera have a partnership. In the future. Lucy will enlighten the coming generation in the essentials of music. Italian Club, '27, ‘28; Glee Club, ’27, ’28; Clef Club. ’27, ’28. LESTER MARX LANG “Les” Meet “Les” the slide-rule artist of our noble class. He came to our state live years ago from New Jersey, and, one year later, entered Tech from Bridgham Grammar School. For several terms he was one of the radio experts of the school, as he was a famous member of the 'Lech Radio Club. He has never taken part in athletics and seldom has attended our socials, imt his pocketbook has always done its part. He tells us that electricity and chemistry arc his favorite sub- jects and that he intends to pursue the former at King- ston next fall. R. I. Honor Society; Radio Club, IB, 1A, 2B. 2A; Spanish Club, 3B, 3A, 4B. GERTRUDE ROSAMOND LARSON “Gertie” we might call Allcgra, for she is blithe and lithe. She trips from class to class with the unconcern of one who knows that she is ready for any question from her teachers. She came to us from Classical two years ago to the delight of both sexes at Tech. “Gertie” has driven away dull cares many a time with her happy remarks. Besides attending many of our social affairs, she has always found time for studying. Gerturde just “loves” home nursing. Some day she may be a second Florence Nightingale. “Gertie” plans to begin her study of nursing at the Melrose Sanitorium. French Club, ’27. CLARA MILDRED LEDBERG Clara is what her name signifies, “the bright and fair,” and even more, Ever ‘dncc slie, entered Tech, popularity wa$ hers, vith( (it'Ver bidding. Student dances hold a special interest for Clara, although her real interest” is' at “State.” Clara has charm and character together with her merry blue eyes.
