JULIUS LIGI1TMAN A Dodge Touring car is seen daily at Commercial High School dropping olY a few nice girls there, and a minute later a few fair ones at Tech. “Julie” enjoys chauffcring girls around—sometimes. Julie came to us from Point Street Grammar School four years ago. Although outside work has kept him from taking part in athletics he has willingly contributed to the budget. He has attended almost all the student dances and socials and enjoyed them all. His favorite subjects are civics—twice taken—and biology. 1 le has many friends because of his good nature and ability to “take a joke.” Julius intends to continue his study at R. 1. S. C. NICHOLAS LILLA “Smiling Nick,” yes, sir. that’s he. You know there is only one thing the matter with Nick. He’s too big- hearted. If you don’t heleive me just try him out sometime. After Nick came to us from Bridghani. it did not take him very long to swing onto the right track, doing his bit toward athletics and attending so- cials. Dentistry is his aim. Will he make a good dentist, did you ask ? We’ll say so—and how. Well, an revoir, Nick, and the best of luck. DOROTHY MAY LINCOLN This studious looking young lady is Dorothy Lincoln, or “Dot,” as she is known among her intimates. “Dot” smilingly greets us all. She extols domestic art. Four years ago, “Dot,” came to Tech from Thayer Street Grammar School. Her future is undecided at present hut whatever she undertakes we know she will com- plete successfully.

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.

36 1928 THE TECH REVIEW RALPH BIASIO LOMBARDO This ambitious young man is Lombardo, himself, the greatest rival of “Paul Whiteman.” He is not only a member of the orchestra, but lias also shown his prow- ess in another direction, being a member of the football team. He has always been successful in his studies. Lombardo with his pal. “Moxie.” has attended all social activities. Wherever this young man is. there is sure to be entertainment, for lie is a jolly goodfollow. Lom- bardo claims algebra as his favorite subject. Next fall he will continue his studies at Rhode Island State College. Football. '27; Orchestra, ’25. '26, '27, '28; Senior Day Or- chestra. '28; Italian Club, '27. '28; Vice President Italian Club. '28. JOHN FRANCIS LONERGAN “Jack- Ah! one of the sound producers. “Jack,” hailed from Oxford Street Grammar School, and since that time, we have learned to love him for his happy-go- lucky manner and witty remarks. Many a student dance has been the pleasanter for the fleet-footed dan- cing “Jack’s” presence. Commercial drawing is his favorite subject as is evident by his many posters about Te:h. Jack” expects to enter the School of Design in the fall. We shall probably hear of him as a car- toonist on some local newspaper in the near future. Freshman Bascliall, '24: Alternate Home Room Rep., 4B, 4A. MAY NEWMAN MAGSON May entered Tech with the regulars of the class and her presence has certainly been felt. May is of a quiet type and possessed of a serenity which soothes. May is no athlete but she is a generous contributor. She likes all studies fairly well, but is partial to do- mestic art. Her future plans are as yet not completed, but her place in the world will doubtless be a worthy one. French Club, '26. SAMUEL BENJAMIN MAUN And here is “Sam” of the Soren and Malin Co., inseparables. He is apt to saunter hither and yon with one hand in his pocket and the other holding books. Although “Sam” is not a member of the Honor Society, he has acquired enviable records in his studies, as well as an unsurpassable popularity among his fellow students. Drawing is his favorite subject and playing soldier at the C. M. T. C. is his favorite summer di- version. The University of Michigan will teach “Sam” how to design automobiles next fall.
