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.

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.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 37 JOHN ALFRED MANGIANTE “Silence is golden,” this simple proverb is exem- plified by “Johnnie,” one of the quiet members of our class. After leaving Federal Grammar, Johnnie de- cided that Tech could help him toward his goal in four years. He enjoys student dances and socials, and has a habit of roaming the corridors at 2:30 with “Spen and “Eddie.” Johnnie likes geometry and history, but electricity holds his interest most strongly. After grad- uation. Johnnie will travel to Lynn, Mass., to continue his education in electrical lore at the General Electric Co. Good luck. Johnnie! Italian Club, ‘27, '2S: Glee Club, '27; Dramatic Club, '28. ANGELO MANGILI “Mack” This young man is known throughout our class as “Mack.” He has a natural gift for friendship and a quick perception of a good joke. 1 le has always ar- dently helped our games and class socials over the top. Mack is a good student and admits his liking for mechanical drawing and “math.” After graduation, he will be found climbing the hill to Brown where he intends to concentrate upon engineering. French Club, '26. 27; Italian Club, '27, 28. TUFIA ANNA MAROUN This youngster, my friends, is the one and only Tufia in’ our class. She came to Tech four short years ago and has lost no time in making conquests. Our Tufia has attended all socials. She has encouraged athletics with her financial support and with her at- tendance. She is especially fond of domestic art and mathematics. Tufia’s future is undecided. Best of luck, Tufia! Field Hockey, '25: Music Club, '28; Glee Club, '28; Chairman of Pin Committee for Music Club. ANTHONY MASSANISO, JR. He came to Tech in September. A freshie gay and proud. Four years have made him a senior Wise, obedient and not so.loud. Here he comes making the boards creak. We mean this debonair young man everybody calls “Sweet,” the Adonis of our class. “Sweet” is very popular, especially with the fair sex with whom we believe lie has no equal. His beaming countenance and ready adaptability, his willingness to help the other fellow, and his ability to do things well are some of his good points. His regular attendance at all school activities is symbolic of his school spirit. Some institution of higher learning will register “Sweet” as a student next September.
