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.

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.

38 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 MARION RUTH MacGOWAN Marion MacGowan has golden hair, hazel eyes, a freckle or two, and a round little chin. She can sing, and likes to. j e can smile, in fact she has to. She can kUv ’atleast she Jnjp uces fruits which would indicatsras much. AI 4e$ ver, she is properly appreci- ated by evt fw[rt dVin general, and somebody in par- ticular! At feast we think so. She purposes to he a nurse; we suggest that she he saved as medicine for all the gloomy patients. Debating Society, '26, '27, '28; Interscholastic Debates, '26, '27: French Club, '27: Glee Club, '25. '26. '27, '28; Orchestra, '25, '26, '27, '28. WILLIAM HOWARD MATTHEWS “Thank the Lord I’m pure,” Dixie’s own words fully describe the character of this young man. There is hardly any need of relating his history at Tech, for who does not know or has not heard of Dixie ? His wonderful achievements are known to all as is also his perpetual smile which has prepossessed all in his favor. Almost any noise may indicate that “Dixie” is playing one of his usual pranks on some innocent vic- tim. A good sport both on the athletic field and oil we expect great things of him after graduation. Tech’s greatest all around athlcth, we wish you luck! Baseball, '25, '26. '27, '28; Football, '26,''27, '28; Basketball, '28 (Captain). CARLOS JOHN McBRIDE “Carlie” came to us two years ago from La Salle Academy. He is well known for his jovial disposition and responsive smile. Of course we all like him. Why wouldn’t we? Many a dull day has been brightened by “Carlie’s” brilliant remarks. He intends to con- tinue his education at the University of Southern Cal- ifornia, where we are sure he will reflect credit on us hack East. ALICE BERNICE McGOVERN “Al” Alice is a girl whom you could not forget. Her congenial air makes her an all round good friend, not only to her classmates, lmt to the undergraduates as well. She is very fond of sports and especially of basketball. When it comes to studies, “Al is a bright light in Chemistry, and if you don’t believe it, ask the boys that graduated in the January class. “Al” is un- decided as to her next few years, but we shall not he surprised to discover her in the ranks of either teachers or nurses. Who knows? Basketball. ’25, ’26. ‘27; Debating Society, '27, '28; Librarian of Debating Society, '28; Chemistry Club, ’28; Tkcii Review Board, ’28.
