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.

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.

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.

1928 39 THE TECH REVIEW WAYNE HOWARD THOMAS McGRAIL “Mac” Next, clear reader is “Mac,” another member of the inevitable “Triumvirate”—“Bob.” “Cookie,” “Mac.” “Mac” appears very quiet, but those who know him can attest that his sense of humor and energetic spirit have livened up many a group. His active life here has engendered admiration and sincere friendship among us. He has faithfully attended all social functions, though he claims he cares neither for dancing nor for the fairer sex. In spite of this neutrality. “Mac” has taken a keen interest in canoeing and motoring while here. His future is undecided, hut he leaves with our best wishes. Class Basketball, 26, '27, ’2«; Class Track, '27, 28; Class Baseball, ’25. GEORGE MELKONIAN Here is our Smith Hill representative. George is well liked by all who know him. Although a quiet and demure fellow in the class rooms, he is one of the jolliest, outside. George has always been a loyal sup- porter of Tech. He excels in mechanical drawing, and is already a junior draftsman. Mechanical engineering is the field of his ambition. George also claims to he champion distance walker of Tech. Like a true fol- lower of the ancient philosopher, he is going out in the world to let it yield him the maintenance it owes him. FRANCES ELENA MELLONE Here’s to another diminutive Signorina! Frances lias never startled us with unusual effervescence, hut we would not have her different from she is. The first two years of Frances’s career were spent at Classical; hut she soon found out that she belonged to us and she has surely been one of us because of her amiability and tact. Her future is undivulged, but the good wishes of her class follow her wherever she may roam. French Club, ’26, '27. '28; Debating Society, '27. MALCOLM IX MERRILL This, fellow citizens, is Malcolm, a quietly energetic chap who always believes in placing work before pleasure. However, lie does not frown on fun when the occasion permits it. Malcolm came to us three and one-half years ago from Peace Street Grammar School. That school gave us a top notcher. His scholarship has been of a high standard as shown by the little gold pin shining on his person. He excels in electricity and in the fall will enter the General Electric School at Lynn, where, we all know, he will rise to new heights.
